When you install a game (which you can only do by a disc), the backup goes straight to whatever you used to go to CFG in the first place.

So you can't install games with a backup, no.

If you have backups, just put them in a specific folder, like for .isos, put it in x:\iso\Game ID.iso.

you can only rip backup discs to a usb-hard drive if the wii is capable of reading backup discs. But either way, WiiBackupManager has a feature to rip multiple backup discs in a queue... so basically you put in a disc, when it's finished it will eject and prompt\wait for you to insert the next disc, so basically I think it would be easier doing the ripping on a PC than on the Wii

I am not double posting before you want to nick the jam out of my doughnut, I don't understand why everyone has so many problems with wiiflow, cfg, usb loader gx etc etc.
I was once a professional noob but i only use wiiflow and I never have had a brick, all my homebrew apps work. However the .iso's have caused issues with games such as Scarface but to over come it i have just downloaded a new .iso from a few sources and eventually i get a good one, the game works fine. Before the Jews start quoting the fundemental laws of the 10 commandments number 8 thou shall not steal, I hit you right back with number 10 thou must not be envious of your neighbours goods. You shall not be envious of his house, wife or any possessions that belong to your neighbour. I do own this game but the disk has some laser burn and crashes at random so I have made a hdd back up via 3rd party as the children get hold of the disks. I am a typical lazy male i never put stuff away behind me.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
