The cMIOS is basically identical with WiiGator's cMIOS, but without the DVD-R patch and i always use MIOSv4. The cMIOS should allow all retail gamecube games to be played from the disc channel, and it allows to boot gamecube homebrew.

This cMIOS is only for use with retail discs. Backup gamecube games do boot with this cMIOS, but only if the loader doesn't allow the game to reset the drive.(=not compatible with any current GC backup launcher) If the game can't reset the drive, a disc change is impossible. So if you want to run gamecube backups, get WiiGator's cMIOS which allows everything this cMIOS does, plus running of gamecube backups.

My intension was a legal cMIOS! And v4 because i think everything nintendo was updated was protection against backups and Action Replay.

Awesome to see you coming out with more sweet shit WiiPower. Keep up the good work.

Cool

The original purpose of this was a legal cMIOS for my (not finished yet) loader that allows to use Wiird on retail gamecube games. But since it's still possible to launch gamecube backups with this (using NeoGamma with GC mode internal for example), i can't release it on WiiBrew.

Umm, not to set off some huge philosophical stint, but by that same logic, isn't HBC, LoadMii, etc. ineligible for upload to WiiBrew? They can be used to launch gamecube backups (using GC Backup Launcher, or NeoGamma for that matter) in the same indirect sense. I wonder if Marcan pitched a fit...after successfully trying one of his backups.

This is one of the reasons why I largely avoid wiibrew except for wiki research, sites like wii-homebrew don't waste so goddamn much time pretending to dance the fine moral line. Refusing to upload clearly copyrighted material is fine and wholly understandable. Refusing to show this, however, is just silly.

+1!!!!
Its a shame that ppl like wiipower spend time doing this stuff then have to figure out if it makes marcans little piggly wiggly tingle.
back on topic,

with wanins mios my retail tony hawk UG2 would randomly DRE, will this possibly help any?

Does it show the logo from his backup launcher when booting the game from disc channel?

I can't get Eternal Darkness, Starfox Adventures and Zelda Ocarina of Time/Master Quest(all retail discs) to work with my loader, they all get a disc read error on the 1st screen. With this cMIOS, i successfully booted Eternal Darkness from disc channel.

So it may fix your problem, maybe not. Random issues are always problematic, i guess it won't help.

nice job wiipower. you are the man. not much use to me, but great to see you contributing. thanks for a possible future use on this.

 

[Slimmmmmm]

Great stuff, you had been kinda quite for a while and this explains it

I've got over 80 retail GC games and a couple of retail Action Replays but I think this will be better than AR for a few reasons, so I think I'm gonna be following this.

I don't know why it would be allowe don wiibrew myself if you removed the DVD-R patch, hmm. I mean I can for example use the homebrew channel to launch a USB loader or cIOS installer so they facilitate piracy in a way too. Then it's their site and their rules I suppose.

Anyway again great stuff

Once the loader is finished and released on:

I will ask in #wiidev if i can link it on WiiBrew, but i don't expect i will be allowed to do it. Oh and the most work on the cMIOS was actually to change my TBR code to say MIOS and to figure out that i need to round up the size of the modified module.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Good work WiiPower, looking forward to this

 

[Kyno]

Good Job ! Thank's.

Some feedback from people who actually use this would be nice, for now i'm the only one i know of who is using it.
