Hacking Gamecube Bootloader

[houseonfire]

The last days I was working on a loader for GC backups. This is only a preview. The release will be within the next week.

A tester made a video showing it in action. Sorry for the bad quality.

Here are some notes:

I tested it with the games I have. All games seem to be fully working. There may be games which are not working.

IOS249 with backup support need to be installed (e.g. my cIOS r7 from backuplauncher 0.3 gamma).

DVD speed is still limited to 3x.

There are sometimes problems with the DVD read speed. So there is sometimes a very short delay in a few games. The game play is only barely influenced. This was only the case for one of my games.

If you eject the disc, no disc can be detected after it. For 2 disc games use the second disc to boot, if you need to change the disc.

You will need to copy the following files to a SD card, if you don't have a internet connection (either Version 5 or Version 6, both is working). There are problems with the nintendo servers in the last time. You may not be able to download it.

Hmm. Why did this need a new topic? It is in his blog, plus it hasn't actually been released yet.

 

[Scolor]

Well, great Wiigator.

Your works always impressed me.

 

[Jran Sakarra]

You rock man!
Now I don't have to buy the $100 game..

 

[Nautilart]

Nice

 

[goku1980]

has any one tried with softmii pack yet?

 

[Vague Rant]

Tried what exactly? WiiGator's unreleased tool? Or just tried disc channel booting for no reason, since nothing in the SoftMii pack enabled GameCube backups?

 

[KirovAir]

Awesome. I adore this even more than Wii backup loading. Since most of the gamecube games aren't sold anymore. What about multi-disks btw?

 

[Unholy360]

Cool, I've been waiting for this.

 

[Darkkenfox]

OMG, thank you so much wiigator!!
That's what I've been waiting for since the begining of the backup loader project :S

Will it support multidisc games?

 

[herculean1982]

OMFG sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!! Epic news

There is no need for a second thread, especially when it hasn't been released. Please keep all discussion here:
