Hacking Gamecube Homebrew Launcher

[Maikel Steneker]

i did all right...

Tried to install with MIOSPatchingWADInstaller, RVL-mios-v5.wad.out in root of SDcard
And tried to install with WADManager, RVL-mios-v5.wad.out in WAD folder of SDcard

Few people got errors with MIOSPatchingWADInstaller, so they try with WADManager, then re-try with MIOSPatchingWADInstaller and it works for dem, but not for me...

It doesn't work for me either

 

[noobwarrior7]

use wad manager 1.21, not 1.1 to install the MIOS
if it wont let you, it must be because you have no cIOS installed
but I dont know, its never happened to me
then try to patch

also,
make sure the end of the file is ".wad.out.wad"

Updating WAD Manager and first installing the wad made it work, thanks.

Damn, I feel stupid now... Oh well, off to dump a GC-game

I'm confused. Why can't the gamecube homebrew launcher be used to launch GCOS to run a backup off of a disc? Why is an sdgecko required?

it can't simply because it has not been made to do so, you're welcome to try and make it happen, and sd gecko is NOT required in v2, it can run from front sd slot.

So what your saying is I can put Gamecube iso's onto my sd card and load them from there without an sdgecko? I thought the from sd slot wasn't available in gamecube mode.

yes, you are right, sorry I jumped the gun and didnt read all of your question, I thought u just wanted to load homebrew without sd gecko...
you do still need it once you boot GCOS to load backups, sorry to get your hopes up.

yes!!!!
it works now, i installed cIOS v5 for backup loader then install/uninstall MIOS v5 with wadmanager, then MIOSinstaller works!

thanks for tips!

When using the newest version GameCube discs still work from the disc channel. If you still want to uninstall the patched MIOS, you can do so via the installation program, which gives you the option to remove the patched MIOS and replace it by the original one.

The original is on the Super mario galaxy or SSBB ?
Can I continue to use Wii Disc ?

 

[danielou]

would that like to say that the disc wii would not function any more?

The original file is on the Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart Wii-disc. I haven't tried with SSBB.

Running Wii discs also still works; nothing is changed on the Wii-side at all.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Wii discs still work, if that's what you're trying to ask.

Sorry I'm a noobie, but if I get all of this I can play Gamecibe backs up on my Wii?

yes. u need an sd gecko definitely though.

once you can run gamecube homebrew you can run sd-boot, which lets you boot gamecube isos from SD card.

compatability is so-so but mostly unknown.

personally i havent been able to get any games to run, but others claim they have.

THere is one game of Gamecube I been dying to play. SD Gundam Gashapon , but it's out of print. I found a ISO download. Now I just hope to find a way to play it.

 

[OSW]

The problem is, SD-boot was designed to run on gamecube.

even still, various gamecube models had compatability problems.

now we hit wii, not much testing has been done. some people who got it working on a few games posted on tehskeen.

I don't know if i'm doing it wrong but it always tells me to please insert the disk, or black screens the wii when i try to boot a game.

I'm just hoping that future versions of SD-boot work out for me

 

[Methos3]

I tried runnimg MIOSPatchingWADInstaller through the HBC but everytime I do It tells me "This is not a valdi wii application" can someone help me?

 

[shortz1994]

no cause this is dead, wii can't launch original gc games like cfg or any usb loader.. when it tries it kills the usb an every thing wii related.. so as of now you can use swiss, or buy retail games.. or a wode.. that it.
