Hacking SoftChip Backup Loader

[Sportsmaniac1322]

Can someone give me a comparison of Wiigator's backup launcher .3b and this? I know this doesn't let you play games from other regions yet, but that's not that important to me. Which version has better compatibility with its own region and which one plays games at faster speeds?

Does it contain some NTSC locking? I only get a black screen on my tv with AV1 in the upper left(AV1 signal is form my tv), maybe i do not get any screen at all? sum182 seems to be able to play PAL games with a NTSC wii, shouldn't this impossible at this moment?

Does anybody get a game working with a PAL Wii?

Many MANY thanks for your work, Requiem! What ever happened to knowitall's "amazing bug fix" that was floating around? Looks like you squashed that, huh?

The code with the "amazing bug fix" is never executed if you don't have a usbgecko. There are lots of lines of code you CAN delete without any change to all non-gecko-users.

[sum182]

Try ejecting and re-inserting the game.

Which ios do you use? SoftChip should only work with Waninkoko's cIOS36 rev 6(not 5!) and the cios which is installed by Wiigator's cios_installer which came with the 0.3b loader.

sum182: Is it possible your backups are region patched? The loader does zero patching at the moment.

 

[nicksasa]

i have tryd all the 2 cios'es and no luck ... i just get after pressing A a no input signal from my tv

and reinsering the game doesnt work also...

 

[agimann]

so, does QoS Pal work on this? if not, does any of the other failure-backups that did not function on other loaders work with this? requim4d you might very well know it the best? good luck with this anyway

I dunno, would it be possible for you to supply the link? My brain isnt working properly right now

i have the same problem and i have the right games for my wii its a pal wii and thye games are pal and they are 1:1

If my games were region patched wouldnt they have loaded in WiiGators without having to force NTSC? cause when i did that they appeared in Black and white flickering screens.

Strange problems. I can't start a game, but when i press A "something" happens, the game is identified correctly, a lot of stuff is written on the screen and after Loading........... i get a black screen.

 

[nicksasa]

i have that too only i just get no input signal... are you also pal wii's ?

If nothing else, Paper Mario my 1:1 copy, I wasn't able to get past 2-3, it crashed at the end with the patched copy, and wouldn't load my save with my 1:1 copy, softchip loader not only loaded it perfectly with the 1:1 copy but let me finish that stage, bravo.

Not much for a test result but, anything positive that differs is a good thing I guess.

Okami comes up with the same error as wiigators loader does.

50% of the time the loader loads to a black screen (this is before it would display Press A to continue)

 

[ebdynasty]

Yep, it loads up according to the launcher but decides to go to a blue screen

pfff that really sucks ... the first release of this loader had the null pointer error and now it will not start the game however it shows the correct title and evrythingh this loader seems promising but there is still alot to do ... just beat this bug

Which game? I've actually managed to get at least one game to work on this loader.

ya . software is still early in development so we should expect some good from the community of developers to take a hand with the project.
