Hacking Backup Loader 0.3 Compatibility Thread

[El-Grosso]

Sorry, does Excite Truck PAL work? The first post in this thread said it does not, but the wiki says it does. Please confirm. Thanks.

I have got a Patched PAL Excite Truck to work on Wiigators 0.3 all running on an NTSC console and firm.version 3.3u

Do you think it would be okay to play it 1:1?

Also, on the wiki, it says about Super Paper Mario: "no freeze on chapter 2-2. Playing actually on 2-4!" What does this mean, that it can play?

 

[Taker2]

i don't understand

i have burn speed 2x the game SSBB (pal) 1:1

the game working only one time and now i have a DVD not reading message also that the loader boot the game.

Being that i have only played it patched i would not know but its worth a try. Although i have heard some people have had problems on the 1:1 copy such as lag and freezes but again i have not tested it for myself.

As for Paper Mario, i have read that alot of people are having problems at a certain point in the game (level 2-3) where you pay the guy in the game money. After you do that they are saying that they get the "Error turn off console" message. The only work around i have seen is by using a save from level 2-4 or later to get around it.

Which version of Gator's launcher are you using?

If you still have problems try to:
Patch the game
Changing your burn speed (maybe 2.4x which has worked well for many people)
Change your disk brand
Make sure you force NTSC or PAL if needed
Change the hooktype

Being that you have good DVD's i would just mess around with the Hooktypes and forcing for now. If you still have the problem, patch the game and reburn at 2.4x. Worse comes to worse you will still have the original 1:1 game. Its worth a shot.

A few people have tried and have been unsuccessful on both 0.1 and 0.3.

will discs that have a eject disc and turn off the power error work on newer versions of the backup loader? is this some compability error? cause as far as i see lots of people have this error...

I would think so or at least hope so being that some of these games are actually loading a little bit of the actual game before crashing (ex. DeBlob).
DeBlob worked fine before and now only works for the first few screens so seeing it work on the old launcher makes me think they will incorporate some of what they did in both launchers to fix these problems in the next one.
The good thing is that with the speed in which the games load in the new launcher combined with some of the compatibility of newer games (ex.Tiger Woods 09), we should probably see an awesome all around next version.

let's hope it will get a work around then ( i think i'll stop wasting dvd's then at those games and just wait and test them on the next version

)

Excitebike 1:1 works fine from the 5min testing I did of it - I'll try properly later.

What do you mean by WII PAL 3.3E. Is that the modified updater? I haven't updated my Wii with the official update yet, and I don't really understand how to use the modified one yet. :S

what modified??? this is 3.3E (E like EUROPE) official by nintendo

 

[FGOD]

yeah but the latest update is also 3.3(E) or whatever region and there is a modified update... at least a update which only installs ios 51 and the new shop channel, so you don't have to update all the other ios's which haven't got the trucha signed bug in anymore

yes, i know that, but he is obviously confused with 3.3E in the first place.

Hello everyone,

for some time i have something strange about the backup loader v0.3 beta.
I recently downgraded to 3.2E and the backup loader works perfectly, i could even make all my tests with the isos i had.
But for a while, regardless the game I launch, the loader freezes on the launching screen and my wiimote losts the sync with the wii. I tried all my games and there was no exception.. So I tried to uninstall the CIOS and begin a new installation with Wiigator's CIOS36 rev 6 but the results are the same. There isn't any game that boots now. Do any of you have an idea or experienced the same?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,

i think i might be having similar problem as well. I managed to used backup launcher on games such as de blob and boom blox. But after i uninstalled my cIOS (i was duped into that uninstalling cIOS can help to install wad games as i kept on having (ret= -1022)error) and reinstalled the cIOS36 rev6, backup launcher will now freeze when trying to launch any games. Not sure whether this is also due to HBC being updated to 9. But even after i remove HBC9, and reinstalled HBC8, things still the same and i cant use backup launcher anymore.

Anyone with any clues out there to help with this?

Hello jelosoda81,

I had this problem after updating the HBC as well... Do you think there is some sort of effect? If it was the problem maybe other people are ine the same situation. Do you know someone else that is in the same case?
I was wondering if it cant' be my DVD drive that is in cause because I had my wii the first day it was sold, so maybe it some kind of "tired" ?
