Hacking SoftChip Backup Loader

[Midna]

r19 doesn't include anything other than a failed attempt at a bugfix. As a rule the SVN trunk is unstable.

Up until now there have been no plans of an official compiled dol, but once we hit alpha status, that may change. It doesn't make very much sense to have a .dol for every minor change floating around.

If anyone wants to test the latest svn, you're always welcome -- just don't expect much. Anyone's welcome to compile a .dol, but having 50 different pre-alphas floating around will only lead to confusion.

Basically, you can do with it what you want, but if you want something useful, wait.

The pre alpha I have right now is r13. are the versions ahead of that showing any significant benefit?

Edit: Never mind. as of r20 we've reverted back to r14. but on that note, is r14 better than r13?

I hate to be the noob who asks stupid questions, but I'm having trouble finding the source for the revision 14. His google page doesn't have it (unless I'm missing something).

r14 is functionally identical to r13.

This project seems promising...
Hope you can somehow enhance the compatibility.
It gives me the same errors as I get with wiigators loader, at this state.

The Simpsons PAL and COD3 PAL give "eject and rtfm"-error...

I can't help coding, but what I can is provide you with a better icon.

Keep up the endurance and the good work.

LOL I was about 20 seconds from asking you if you'd be willing to contribute official graphics design to the project! Thanks.

 

[WiiShizzza]

No problem.
Just tell me what you need, and I see what I can do.

When I asked for the download link, I meant the source files for SoftChip, not something to compile it.

Anyone have a compiled version of r19?

Also, I think it would be good if requiem or someone else could regularily release a .dol for all the peop[le that don't know how to compile a wii executable, or use a mac like me.

I compile all my Wii homebrew on my old MacBook. Even including libogc and libfat from CVS to include SDHC support. No problems there, just install the devkit and set the proper environmental variables and you're set to go using make.

maybe you should see what subversion does.

edit: also i havent looked at anything besides the makefile, but how do we tell what revision is on the svn?

I use TortoiseSVN here, it tells what revision you have for each file, the new one... etc...

 

[luccax]

Is r22 working with everyone?

 

[nicksasa]

yes only de f*cking blob doesnt work

NTSC console -> NTSC game, PAL console -> PAL game.

 

[nicksasa]

Ohh I get it now! Like I said, I'm a noob!

Now I just need to compile it...

Great work requiem4d and co!

Do you have any ambitions to add support for usb2 HDD iso loading? (after the primary goals are achieved offcourse)

Tell me how long are you going to keep your wii? lol be a very very long time.

small point, but the makefile refers to "wiiupload" instead of the standard "wiiload" ....
(netbeans kept barking that it couldn't find "wiiupload" and you'd be surprised how long it took me to figure out the error.)

wiiupload is another software, it was made by requiem, and he uses it.
