I was trying out the gamma backup loader and it gave me a error about a cIOS (not too sure). I have a cIOS something also in my homebrew channel. What should I do?

for any version of backup loader it comes with the cIOS that is needed to run it, I am not an expert on
what the cIOS does exactly but I know you need the bundled cIOS that comes with the backup loader in
order to run the program. I think in order for some of the smart people to help you, you are going to need
to give a little more info, like what version you are running, 3.1u, 3.2, 3.3 ect ect. and what cIOS you are
currently running. I wish I could be more help but I am noobish as well. Good luck!

it is the same for the Gamma loader but this was created by Waninkoko, who happens to be the creator of the first backup launcher ("ISO loader" back then)

cIOS are basically "custom" IOS.
They are copies of the original ones, with some small changes to make something possible. Running a backup game I.E.

IOS are fragments of the Nintendo Wii operating system. Your games need to load some of them to run.

It's not EXACTLY that, but I hope it was easy to understand.


If you want to install one, so you can use your backup loader, try searching the forums. I'm sure you're gonna find it.
*EDIT* ether2802 just posted how to install them =)

A simple example is something on a PC .... for the program Limewire to run on a PC you need Java installed - for some other applications you need .NET installed.

cIOS is a custom IOS that you need installed on your wii in order for the Gamma loader to be able tin interperate and run the commands on the wii.

Usually you need to download the cIOS and it has been known to error while downloading quite a bit - the files in my signature have a predownloaded cIOS files so they install directly saving download times and errors and it makes life a little bit easier for your cIOS install.

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
