Hacking Backup Loader 0.3 Compatibility Thread

[Deepest]

Mario Party 8 (scrubbed): working flawlessly (burned on Verbatim DVD-R)
Zack & Wiki (scrubbed): working flawlessly
Super Mario Galaxy (1:1): working, video strutters a little
Mario Kart Wii (1:1): working, video strutters a little, WiFi working!!!!!

All games are PAL and tested on a PAL Wii, chip GC2-DMS, firmware 3.2E, with default loader options, burned on Verbatim DVD+R booktyped DVD-ROM (except where otherwise noted) with a BENQ DW1670.

I agree with the results as posted above, the one thing that I did notice with regards SMG is that when you press the home botton to pause the game (nintendo screen) for a few seconds and when you resume back to the game the video will stream better for a few seconds before returning to the video stutter. I dont know if this would be useful feedback for wiigator? If the video streaming process can be qweaked a little further i reckon they will have cracked it.

Smarty Pants - worked well
Mario Strikers - worked well
The Sims Castaway - worked well
Smarty Pants - worked well
Wii Play - worked well
Action Girl Racing - worked well


Mario & Sonic Olympics (disc error)
The Simpsons (disc error - after safety screen)

Big Beach Sports, crashes whilst trying to create a profile.
House of the Dead 2 simply stalls after the main title selection screen.

i burnt Wii Music (NTSC-U) onto a DVD-R (I have a PAL Wii). firstly i got dvd identify error, so i burnt it using a different drive, and i got past the jumbled letters.
then it said something about no sd codes, so i put ocarina off. now it got rid of 'no sd codes' but still it won't get past that screen with the information. I have changed the Hooktype (what does that mean?) and and between force PAL60 and PAL50. Also, I use a component cable. some say that it freezes at a green screen, i haven't even got to a green screen yet

Man, dont use 1:1 backup

1. patch the iso before burning
2. Run the game with all setting default. (just press launch game)

 

[aljabiraa]

how do i patch? (i'm a newb at this kinda stuff)

 

[digitydogs]

There is no reason not to use a 1:1 copy, my copy of wii music is 1:1 (and yes its ntsc) i have absolutely no problems with it. you may have a bad copy. so either re rip or re-download. And make sure you are using .3 with the latest wiigator cios. not the old .1 cios fix, which i think alot of people are mixing up.

 

[aljabiraa]

my first experience with wii backup loaders was about 3 hours after .3 was released so i know nothing about v.1

 

[john_dereck_sat]

how can you have a firmware 3.2E if you don't remove the firmware update?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

I think you are asking how I skip the update check? Well, firstly the backup loader blocks the updates automatically so blocking them manually is unnecessary. Secondly I have starfall installed as I said, which also blocks the update checks.

That was my question, sorry if my english is not clear enough, I'm a poor french man :-)
I didn't know backup launcher can block updates.
So I will re-burn the ISO and we will see if it fix my problem.
thanks for your help

You should add

Guitar hero: World Tour NTSC (unpatched)
FIFA 09 PAL (patched)

to the "Working" List.

 

[Skyler2000]

I'm curious is it possible to use the 0.1 launcher after installing the 0.3 or does the new cios not work with the 0.1 launcher

 

[Boboch]

I can confirm that :

Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (PAL) unpatched is working

 

[pika81]

Tested on my Wii 3.3 with loader 0.3 without re-read fix

Working:

Wario Land Shake It PAL DVD-R @ 2x (MAXELL) UNPATCHED NO WORKAROUNDS played until 2nd level, load times very good, only intro stutters a bit

Not working:

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 PAL DVD-R @ 2x (MAXELL) UNPATCHED got the 'press the eject and turn of your Wii system' error

I'm amazed how good this thing works, damn nice work Wiigator and Waninkoko !

 

[Sstew]

I'm curious is it possible to use the 0.1 launcher after installing the 0.3 or does the new cios not work with the 0.1 launcher

Why would you want too?

Version 1 is horrible compared to V3

I dont think it would work with the new CIOS installed anyway

 

[Skyler2000]

everything about v3 is great except that it cant play Star wars FU and V1 can, So i'm curious if i could use v1 to play star wars and v3 for everything else

 

[Rebellion]

Working
Game: One Piece Unlimited Adventure // NTSC-U
Firmware: 3.2U
Patched?: Yes.
Notes: Runs pretty much perfectly as far as I've played. Some slowdown in cutscenes, but it isn't much of a slowdown.

 

[Ozz465]

HAs anyone have experienced better compatibility burning at 2x? i use dvd-r and have a 3.3 us wii . so far most of my game like spider man web of shadows work at 2 x and dont work at 4 or even 3 x, tried spiderman at 3x and had the error at start up.

 

[MainframeF4]

I'm curious is it possible to use the 0.1 launcher after installing the 0.3 or does the new cios not work with the 0.1 launcher

I have been unable to get the two to work together.
