GameCube Backup Launcher 0.2

[live2play]

The "The loader will change the screen format in Wii mode to the screen format of the disc inserted at startup (this solves NTSC problems)." feature of the WGCBL seems to be the reason that many people are having the scrolling and black/white problems. Seems that the WGCBL is incorrectly detecting NTSC discs as PAL.

i havent had any issues with any of the GC backup launchers with my Pal 3.2 wii, full color even if its a nstc game

hmm I tested my retail AR disc with the loader and I get a read error 263. I then burned a backup disc of AR, the loader detects it and I use auto detect to boot. The screen starts scrolling crazy and when I swap discs for the codes I get a pure black screen. You can boot with Y to stop the scrolling, but still fails to load backups. Anybody find a method to get them to work?

It seems that the problem is happening in NTSC wii. I have a NTSC wii and the loader change the video to PAL (and really... my discs are NTSC)

Since I own the original discs for every gc game I ever wanted, the only backup disc I have for Gamecube Backup Launcher is Donkey Konga Collection (multi iso with PAL and JAP). But it seems that I only get audio when I play PAL on my NTSC Wii (also, cannot save with JAP but I believe that is an issue with those particular games).

I'm kind of a n00b with the whole video patch thing, but is this one of those scenarios where the video needs to be patched to the game before burning? If so, I guess there's no method for that yet.. I also heard there might be a way to do it with starfall, but I don't know much about that.

Any help is always appreciated

I hope somebody figures this one out soon, I just got a new GC memory card on ebay

So I was playing Soul Calibur 2 earlier with no problems, and that was great. Much love to WiiGator.

However, I tried playing the GCN Twilight Princess today and I ran into some problems. When I launch the Backup Loader, it goes through the standard splash screen, then the screen flashes once, then goes green, after which the Wii simply restarts. I'm not sure where exactly the problem here lies. I've tried different write speeds, that didn't work, and I can't really think of anything else.
Going to go buy a different brand of DVD tomorrow and try again. I've been using Verbatim. NTSC system and game.

Any news about Baten Kaitos?

Baten Kaitos works fine now for me, but it's in black and white sadly.

i think for you u.s user, you should try tinkering with the video output settings like 50hz etc

I got pretty far in a couple games via Theta, and I just now updated to .2.

Is there a way to fix the broken save files? I've heard of it being possible, but I've never been able to find a guide.

 

[nitrostemp]

yea fixing saves are pretty simple you've just gotta use a memory manager application to strip the files to the sd card then edit the title name on the pc

 

[Mr Slayer]

for the black and white problem,

1. start up the backup launcher with a working disc inserted
2. remove the disc
3. put in the black and white disc
4. press A or whatever button you need to press
5. game should be in color

note: i have only tried this once with pokemon xd but i think it works
note: may work for other video problems with backups (havent tested)

 

[Astalon]

Ahhh why does it keep resetting after the green screen!

The problem is that i can't find something that lets me extract from the gcn memory card.

What do you mean working disc? Do you mean a legal copy of a game?
And do I have to do this every time I want to use the launcher?
Does anyone know of a permanent fix?
