GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Xi

[Supercool330]

Is there any way to use this to load gc homebrew?
What I would like to do is load the gcars (GameCube Action Replay Simulator) dol before loading a game. I know that multi-disc support is now available, so the only question is how to just load a dol. As an idea for a future release, it would be cool if when you loaded a gamecube game using your laoder, and you held x or something it would just load gcars from the system or something (the dol is only like 68k). Thanks for any help.

Not from the Wii's SD slot or USB ports. Yet. -I doubt it will happen because once the Wii goes into GC mode those slots shut down.

Bah That goes for scousethief not Supercool

Yes, you can load dols off sd card with this program: use sdload for GC (requires sd gecko) with original/backup copy of AR. You will need to put in an long AR code. This will allow you to load dols off sd card.

You can also load dols from your max drive memory card with this program and an original max drive CD. I don't think a backup copy exists. Use patched Mios v4 so it will recognize datel discs.

Yes, you can play GC isos off of sd card: You don't need this program but the GC homebrew loader by Mega Man/ Hell Hibou. Just make sdboot 4.0 final your "start.dol" on your root. You can also load any other dol naming it as start .dol. You can choose which dol to load using later versions by Hell hibou.

Supercool330: gcars won't work on the Wii for the same reason gcos does not. It can't start the disc drive.

In that case someone should get in contact with fuzziqer and see if he will give us the source for his code handler.

I cant load my old saves,whats up with that?

 

[Buzbee]

Saves work correctly now. If the save was created with theta it may be incorrect. This is probably your problem.

 

[earthworm]

I realize that the main point of the new loader appears to be multi disk support and some other fixes (eg. game saves); however, there is a noticible increase in compatibility, for instance, wave race now works

Good Work!

 

[Unholy360]

Old saves not working, going back to theta.

 

[magic12]

Hey is it possible for me to play a pal gamecube iso on a USA wii or do I have to do somethign with that iso to make it work on the wii?

 

[Buzbee]

earthworm: yes there was an increase in compatibility mainly with the games that use streaming audio, but usually they play without BGM.

Tested Multi-Game Iso with MGS Twin Snakes US (both disks and Monkey ball PAL) and Disk Switching works fine. Game continues just like normal. So far no issues at all with the game. Maybe bit longer initial loading screen from Konami Logo but beyond that works great.

Monkey Ball PAL has no background as above poster mentions but works fine on my 3.3U Wii without using the patched MIOS.

I was wondering that too.

Since my two pal backups don't have video just audio.

Hey, WiiGator, it seems that the 30 read retries you said the loader would do on a DRE never happen. I keep getting a DRE in POP2 during one of the cutscenes, and I don't see any sign of the re-reading anywhere. Wii doesn't make any noise, and re-inserting the disc just gives a blackscreen.

 

[YellowYoYos]

Thank you so much WiiGator, I love your work.

 

[shado blackstar]

Great stuff. Even if Ika isn't working fully, it's working better than before. Resets instead of giving an error, so if you get a random lockup, you can go back and try it again.

Star fox Adventures still doesn't work for me at all. I can hear sound and music but i can't see any video. I've tried forcing NTSC, PAL60.

I got the same problem, I can hear audio but can't see the video, I have NTSC starfox + NTSC tv, I tried all the boot method, nothing work.

I can't get Waverace blue storm to work either.

I'm using mios v8 and the game is shrunk on a multigame disc (not sure if it change anything).

Any solutions?
