Preview GC Backup Launcher for Wii

[TeenTin]

The DVD-R must be burned with a minimum size. 600 MB games are not working. I assume the minimum is 1GB (DVD standard). So you will need fstfix to generate bigger images.

I have a trimmed size rom "Mario Kart Double Dash" (468MB). Will it work if I burn it using ImgBurn ?

No! Minimal size is 1GB as WiiGator said. You need something to expand the ISO or wait for multigame-support.

I suspect ImgBurn will do the job tacitly.

So this means I can play NTSC-U backups on my PAL memory card?

Yes.

Well, since the Wii's integrated savegame manager killed a lot of my gamecube saves, i would search first for a good homebrew savegame manager to backup your saves before doing anything else on the Wii. And if i understood correctly, all saves are deleted when your memory card changes its region.

Got a name for that?
So I need to find a sort of homebrew application that puts my GC saves of my memory card on my SD card?

i think it's called nugasa or something similar..

Yep i wrote NuGaSa time ago but it have´s a problem with some official Memory Cards
but use GCMM http://wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM i think it´s better (even if it´s have the same problem) and it´s opensource

Yesss!!! Now I will be able to play Skies of Arcadia Legends!!!! (I have the one for Dreamcast and I've finished it twice one summer... I love that game) Too bad I can't find an original one (well, at decent price... 60 euro for a GC game ported from Dreamcast is a little bit too much...)

How do I install this? Do I just put those files to the root of my SD card?

 

[Satangel]

SETUP & INSTALLATION

Unzip the archive. You will find the following folders inside:

apps Contains Homebrew Channel ready files (see Homebrew Channel instructions below)

gamecube Contains GameCube DOL file (not required for Wii)
Wii

On the Wii, the savegames will be read from and written to the front SD slot. Memory card should be in slot B.
Gamecube

On the GameCube you will need a Gecko SD adapter in the slot A and place the memory card on slot B.

Any beta tester have a multi game disk in order to test it

?

yes they work, GCOS can be used to make the multigame

Since it doesn't look like someone posted this before...

Hello all! Some questions...

1. In the MIOS links, the link for tmd.8 is a non working link for tmd.6 If you change it to tmd.8 in the URL, then you can get it. tmd.8 is the right file, correct?

2. If I'm reading the thread correctly... Once the MIOS patcher comes out, if I just patch the MIOS, I will be able to play backups through the disc channel (I have softmii v1 installed)? That is awesome!

 

[YellowYoYos]

Wow, I didnt see this coming. Just when I was getting bored with my nintendo I see this.

Thank you WiiGator and waninkoko for this great project, looking forward to testing the shit out of this.


Keep up the great work.

1. I have overseen that. I think I finally fixed the link.

2. This should work (not tested).

What's the difference between the versions of MIOS?

I know MIOSv5 and up blocked Action Replay.

But what's the changelog?

 

[Sstew]

question to WiiGator: (sorry if its been asked)

will both formats of GC games be accepted?

You can just rename .gcm to .iso. There is no different about it.
