1. I pointed that out on the page before that it was supposedly NTSC

I really want to believe this, and at first I did. Until you said that it was an NTSC copy of Wii Chess. Sad thing is, Wii Chess has only been released in Europe (PAL). If you can prove what you are saying (or show why the slip-up was made) I will trust you again, but these are the minor slip-ups that lead to the conclusion that it is fake.

I made a good few hoaxes a few years back in the GP2X communities... One forum I posted it on were congratulating me for my "coding ability" while another one discovered it was a hoax about a month after I posted the first "screenshots" because the glare on the screen didn't match the rest of the picture just right. Little cracks make big buildings crash down.

2. In the video he says it is NTSC and that is why it refreshes, yet an NTSC copy does not exist.

Are you using a USBGecko? Seems like you are... but not sure... just watched the sound video...

I don't wanna be a pain, but just wanna get the info before people start making assumptions...

can you answer these questions?

1) will you need to load the apploader every time (pre-homebrew channel TP hack)?
2) will you need a USBGecko, or will homebrew channel work?
3) Can this be make into a channel, and run right from the WiiMenu?

Since you've already said you need to modify the ISO, that won't be asked.

These are the questions people will want answered the most, but if you can't answer it now, that's fine... just say so.

I really hope I don't sound like I'm being bossy, but this will help people out and get them to stop asking so much...

thanks linkinworm!

Isn't there a way to make PAL games NTSC? Kinda like FreeTheWads, but FreeTheWiis?? I thought there was...

Looks good. Keep up the solid work

 

[Diablo1123]

Sounds nice so far
Have a chipped wii so doesnt matter to me, but in the event that it ever stops working, that'd be nice

My dreams are coming true...All this time seeing people with Wiikeys etc, I felt left out. But after ordering a Wiikey myself, Installation went bad, but it didn't mess up my system at all. But now I can finally look forward to not having a modded Wii after all, since this application has been made. Can't wait a release, Linkinworm, I love you o.o

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
Interesting.
If you did it, bravo!

You people... can't you get it? He's just a poor betatester... nothing more nothing less...

[skedone]

so how far off is a public release then

yes you will
homebrew channel needed(or your method of loading)
it may be able to, sometimes makeing things into a channel messed them up.

waninkoko said i can say HE made this now

he was all shy n stuff before, and im a poor betatester with the backuploader

considering previous post I've read from him, I seriously doubt Linkinworm has anything to do with the coding of such app ;()
much probably he is a beta-tester and (again) could not resist showing people what he get in advance (hehe, being put in the lights is good

)

anyway, could you at least provide technical informations how it works ? with the new DI libarry that came out, we knew something like that was posible but will took some much work, could you explain this , this is really what interests me much

edit: lol, masks have fallen, what a surpriiiiiiiise

 

[Jibib]

Great....

I just installed a Wii Key ¬_¬

xD oh well!

 

[Dack]

Have you tried any other small games e.g. Hamster Heroes

well i made the vid with wanin in mind 1st time, but he didnt want me to put his name on the vid for some reason. if he didnt like it i would have taken it down. and i cant say how it was made, because well someone else could make this and then release it before wanin,i didnt upload this with fame in mind, as i didnt even post it on any forum as soon as it was uploaded. i only know some bits anyway of how it works. there are many factors that went into this. not just some DI commands

 

[Jacobeian]

lol, is this really important ? I think all people smart enough to code it already know how to do it, it's just a matter of coding and overpassing some difficulties, which I don't really need to know

all I want to know is the concept, does it work little like as emukiddid's loader, that means, intercepting DVD reads and patching them to use another layer (in that case, DI functions) ? or is the IOS patched somehow to modify the original DVD read functions ?

 

[Rock Raiyu]

seeing as noone asked this question yet, I'm going to ask it.

Does the backup loader only load Wii Backups or can it boot GameCube Backups as well?
