Hacking Waninkoko's Backup Loader FAQ

[Bitbyte]

Who cares tbh? With the drive speed limitations this was gonna suck anyway

sour grapes.
Also the load times aren't that bad.

Nah, at first I was really excited, but then I read about the loading times and glitches, so meh.

 

[genkiman]

[WII]Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords[PAL] works, load times are long but it works great.
It's said this had to happen, we can see with this leaked version the great work that waninkoko was doing and now we can only imagine what we could have in hands in october

 

[skedone]

anyone help me then??

what burning software you using under linux

'"Congratulations! I don't care about who leaked Backup-Loader but now it's OFFICIALLY an abandoned project. Enjoy it. ""

Now to be honest, I'm not surprised Wani has said that at all. But shocked in a way as he could of continued the project.

Me? I could of waited, and everyone could of waited for this, but the leaker shall die! (Unless its one of the official beta testers of wani, they should be deeply ashamed of themselves)

A thought came to me, could anyone do something with it? Or would they need all the source bits? As there could be a way for someone to recreate it, and start again.

But Waninkoko, if you are reading this, all I have to say is that it is such a shame this has happened, and why did you abandon it? Was it because of the leak? Or was it simply because of Nintendo, or the worry of Nintendo suing you? I don't blame either way

Thanks Wani for this release, and maybe you could come back to it (as you saved one game of mine, and works perfectly), as it would be great

Hey people,

I got everything installed but I'm running into a weird error, and looking around a lot of other people are having this problem too. Can anyone help determine the cause?

Error: Something about not being able to read the title, ret=-4100

Using Maxell DVD-RW (4.7GB), the ISO attempted was Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity (NTSC).

I have the Wii System Menu V3.3U if that changes anything as well.

 

[Trolly]

Well, this came out of nowhere. I don't think it's worth getting the internet excited over this though, hows about some hush hush?
And how can an ISO loader be in beta or only half-working :S? I assumed either it works, or it doesn't. Meh, gonna go try a game now.
It's probably best like this anyway. The fact games will have bugs will encourage people to buy the actual game if they liked it I reckon.

 

[Prime]

ugh well done who ever leaked it.

Now we are stuck with a buggy, beta app which has no support.

Who leaked it? Are they a member on here?

Some idiot on 4chan.

Update:

BoomBlox - NTSC everything still outputs to PAL... only runnable with VGA box
ManHunt 2 - freezes console on load... waited 15 minutes, and still froze at black screen. Not working

 

[xXFEARXx420]

Same goes for me.

Error Reading Title - Ret=-4100

Using TDK DVD+R's

Have burned & tried Star Wars Force Unleashed & Target Terror.

Followed all of the instructions to the "T"....Wondering if its because Im not using HD/VGA cables.




And I also agree with everybody here who is saying that the bastard that leaked this should be shot in the face & skull f*cked. If Wanin was planning on releasing this shortly...why be a douchebag & screw all of us??

(Yes I am kind of being a hypocrite with all of this,but it WAS leaked,I had it sent to me by a friend VIA MSN,so why not at least TRY IT??)

Not entirely sure if I installed the cIOS right but I assume that if the loader actually runs and tries to load a disc than its working.

I've tried World War 2 Aces (NTSC) and get nothing but a black screen.
So I assume this doesn't work.

Sure is a bummer that barely anything is working, but then again it is beta.
Can't wait to see the official release.
I do hope this leak doesn't affect anything too much.
Fun to see how it works first hand though.

Oh I did have trouble uninstalling the cIOS with wad manager 1.1
1.2 seemed to work fine though.
I currently have the cIOS installed however.

 

[NikoK]

Is this loading the ISO's off of a USB Drive? Or is it through network on the computer? Or is it just putting the ISO on a dvd?

If the disc starts to spin and it can get past reading the title it's working and installed right. Which is your case.
The game just doesn't work.

Also the ISO Loader was dropped. There is going to be no official release.

Just to add my experience

Mario Kart wii PAL worked but crashed the wii when it tried to load the second race of a Grand Prix

Super Smash Bros Brawl DVD5 rip creates a 7.odd gig partition.iso file so cannot be burned on a non dual layer disc

Oh and IMGBurn wouldn't open Partition.iso (Made it twice for Mario Kart) saying it was an invalid format but mounting it using Daemon Tools and burning with Alcohol 120% worked fine (Didn't expect it too)

 

[blazingwolf]

SW:TFU NTSC, NTSC Wii, Component Cables- Works fine, no graphic glitches at all.

Okami NTSC - Loads, but when starting a new game freezes when loading, does load fine though if you use a save that is already in the game.

Super Mario Sluggers NTSC - Freezes upon loading, TV gets stuck at green screen. Doesn't even boot. Loader recognizes name and region though, so its probably the loader is incompatible. But I'm not 100% on this one, I used a different type of DVD-R (Memorex, used Verbatim before). So it might be that, it also might be that I burned it one after another, someone let me know if they can get this one working.

Is this loading the ISO's off of a USB Drive? Or is it through network on the computer? Or is it just putting the ISO on a dvd?

It's explained on the front page.
the ISO has to be patched and burned to a disc.
It's still in the beta stages so SD and USB drives aren't supported yet.

 

[playallday]

3. Place the CIOS36_rev5-64-v1042.wad file in the wad directory of your SD card.

Where is that directory?

I don't have a Wii yet but with this I just may get one
