Hacking Waninkoko's Backup Loader FAQ

[Brian117]

Please add to your list that:

Super Mario Galaxy (NTSC): NTSC Wii, NTSC TV

Does work...But it appears in black and white. No issues with gameplay as far as I know.


EDIT: Also add that, "Scarface: The World Is Yours (NTSC): NTSC Wii, NTSC TV", does not work at all. After booting the game, I get a grey background with black lines. Won't load.

Has anyone tried Tales of Symphonia Knight of Ratatosk yet? If it works I may want to download this thing if it doesn't work then screw it it's not worth my time.

 

[Brian117]

UPDATE:

Endless Ocean (NTSC): NTSC Wii, NTSC TV STANDARD

Does not work...if you plan on testing/using it, have tons of headache medicine by you.

The following occurr:

Black and white.
EXTREMEEEEEE Screen shaking, I almost threw up from the exreme shaking.


I will test Wii Sports (NTSC) in the morning.

Please note I`m using a NTSC-U system with standard AV cables.

Price is right NTSC - freezes after chartacter select
NHL 2K9 NTSC - fail (if iso is region changed to PAL works fine)

 

[HaloBenish]

NTSC Wii Games Tested So Far:

Wii Chess (Pal) - works
Excite Truck (Pal) - worls

I have two SD TVs and SD cables. I am thinking sbout buying component cables to fix the black and white issues people are talking about. I have not experienced any yet though. If I use component cables in 480i (using a Y Cb Cr port of course) would it even help?

on PAL wii/3.2E/composite cables

Super Mario Galaxy PAL/DVD-R Memorex, hangs on a black screen on the beginning, when a cutscene should play and bowser's airships appears and start to bombard the village. Tested 3 times, hangs at same moment, a neverending black screen.

 

[TrainerAbu]

Could someone check out One Piece: Unlimited Adventure?

zidane_genome was always against softmod and he's written the newbie guide for a backup loader?

[UltraDogg]

Excite Truck PAL - Works

When you check games, make sure to play for example for 30 minutes, because 'works' != 'playable'. Many games loads to the menu (Okami for example) but crashes after.

Bully PAL : works but crappy movie in the begining and very very slow loading times.

I completely agree, if you watch linkinworm's SMG youtube video, you can't say for sure the game works, he doesn't even play with mario around :/
A shame cause ( i'm repeating myself ), SMG crashes on the first ingame cutscene where airships bomb the city, which is not even 2 minutes of gameplay...



I'm certainly not complaining and I just hope those patched burned backup won't be useless in the long term.

When you test games, after you get in the menu, you should play a while, and test basic stuff like:
- saving
- loading save
- switching chapter
- going back to main menu

I think that issue has been posted numerous times.. if you load an existing save game the game apparently works fine (who knows until what point though)

You can of course, keep in mind that waninkoko's dev are done on a PAL machine...
Afaik it's as safe as installing a channel... does not replace anything, just adds.
