Hacking Having a hard time with Game Cube backups.

[Kurono.]

Hello, all, and thanks for taking the time to read this. I am fairly new to hacking Wii's, so I may ask a lot of questions, and I apologize for that in advanced.

Recently, I soft modded my 4.2 Wii, and all works well. I have the Homebrew Channel, as well as NeoGamma and GC Backup Launcher.

I have multiple games for both Wii and Game Cube, all of which have worked until now.

Recently, I burnt 3 backups for Game Cube. Tales of Symphonia, Pokemon Colosseum, and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. Now, normally I burn games onto a DVD+R, and they have worked, however, once the 2 Pokemon games didn't work, I switched to DVD-R, and unfortunately, they still don't work. The strange thing is, Tales of Symphonia DOES.

I don't know what could possibly be the problem, but that's why I'm here. I have tried multiple downloads of both Pokemon game, and still no luck, so I am most likely doing something wrong.

Thanks to any and all who help.

looks like maybe those games have some issues, depending on the versions, if they're on multidisc etc etc etc

See, that's the thing - they're NOT on a multidisk. To be honest, I don't even know HOW to make a multi-disk.

However, when downloading the games, it said "NTSC" and not "NTSC-U" Is there a difference, or is the U just left off sometimes?

Like I said earlier, I have burnt all my games the same way, and all but the Pokemon games work. Granted, it might be because of some settings. I really don't know haha.

Okay, so I tried the different options that GC Backup Launcher has (press Y for NTCS, X for PAL, A for Auto-Detect, etc) and none of them are working. They all send me to a green screen, then a black screen and I have to manually restart the Wii.

Any advise?

I found an NTSC-U version of Gale of Darkness, and it is downloading as we speak. I will try it when it finishes and let you guys know if it works.

Do you have a cMIOS installed?

 

[Kurono.]

I have IOS249 (Rev 14) installed.

 

[Mr_Boo_Berry]

That's a cIOS, not a cMIOS. Gamecube games use a MIOS for games, not IOS. I'd suggest either Waninkoko's cMIOS Installer or WiiGator's MIOS Patcher - whichever one you want.

 

[Kurono.]

My bad. Yes, I used the MIOS PatcherV10 that you linked in the other thread, and I loaded GC Backup Launcher, pressed B to load with Patched MIOS, and Pokemon Colosseum works. I'm about to try XD Gale of Darkness now.

 

[Kurono.]

I tried XD Gale of Darkness. When using GC Backup Launcher, it went to a green screen, stayed there for a while, then went to a black screen. When using NeoGamma, it stayed at a black screen.

Any advise?

U is for US, Japanese games are also NTSC, but would probably be labeled NTSC-J or something else noting they were Japanese.

From the Gamecube backup launcher compatibility list

Pokemon XD - Works - NTSC-U -Push B to see safety warning followed by disc read error in xi. Works fine in 0.2.

so you should give the 0.2 gc launcher a spin and see if that works for ya
