Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta

[Cxprt]

Isn't there a tool to make ISOs the right size?

I'll go find it, I can't remember what it's called...

Edit: fstfix ---> http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=631

On a Mac. .exe's aren't going to do much for me.

Could try running it in wine... it might work... could screw things up too. xD

On a Yahoo Answers page I found this

"You could try bochs
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/
or vmware
http://www.vmware.com/products/server/index.html
or WINE
http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX

Whether these would work, I don't know

vmware would be most stable option as your running windows literally from with in mac.. You just need a copy of windows to install under it and enough space to mess with ISOs... maybe 10-20gb.

Anyone know about the... "Failed to read DVD 345" error? Am I getting it because something is not setup right or is it because I'm using +R dvds when I see people here using -R dvds?

Yes!! It will absolutely NOT load DVD+R - you can use DVD+R, just change the booktype to DVD-R -
you can do this in Imgburn IF your burner supports bitsetting...if it does, click the book on the bottom right hand corner of the Imgburn screen, select your DVDBurner type...then change the current setting. ENJOY.

Not sure if it supports it or not... Suppose I'll find out... If not ill go pickup some -R's tomorrow.
Edit: I set it to DVD-ROM is that correct?

i'm still getting that error 345 and i'm using a dvd-r. its a samsung.sometimes i see the gamecube symbol in the wii menu but it just rests my wii when i choose it.then i go to the launcher i get the error.

the only possible reason i can think of is the dvd i'm using has cheap media or its just a bad burn.

maybe its something else right now i can't figure it out.

EDIT

i'm trying see if dragonball z budokai 2 works i posted that before anyone tried it yet themselves

Majora's Mask Crashed on me right when I got to play the ocarina. Said something like "An error occurred, check Gamecube for information".

Anyone get past that part in the game without it crashing?

I'll try tomorrow as I need to study right now.

EDIT: Also, for the N64 rom question, on one multigame disc I have, Mario Kart 64 loads up fine. Though I haven't actually played, just got to the menu, it also replaces the Master Quest rom.

I know something funny i remember it doing the same exact thing, on Sd-Boot through the Zelda Emu Disc in the same exact place, When you get the Ocarina Back and have to play a Song, Can't remember the name of the song, It would say Error Occurred after playing the Song, and just Crash

Anyways

Metroid prime 1 and 2 NSTC is playing Great with MIOS8

Yeah I'm posting about it on support thread. I used a -R as well as +R set to DVD-ROM booktype and same stuff still. I even tried waninkoko's cMIOS to no avail.

I haven't heard anyone getting this working. Sounds like it has something to do with the fact that there's two different games on there.

Leads into another question...anyone tried GCOS? Seems like this would probably run into the same issue...

I'd try one myself except for the whole being at work thing.

I have a problem with the loader. When I go to play Luigi's Mansion, the game doesn't recognize my save file. I can clearly go to the system menu and see the save but when I pop in Luigi's Mansion from the loader, the three files are empty

Any clues on what may be going on? I know it's not my Memory card because I was able to save and load with that card using my backup of "WWE Day of Reckoning 2". On another note it's soooo sad that "WWE Day of Reckoning 2" A years old GameCube game looks WAY better than "WWE SmackDown Vs. RAW 2009". Shame on you THQ! Shame!

The song is "The Song of Time"


I would try a bunch of other games, but I already own most the good GC games.

I'll try a multigame disc of the Mario Partys (4-6) and Thousand Year Door

Count me in the mix for memory card woes - i Have an official Nintendo GC Memory card. I am unable to save/load from Mega Man X Collection (haven't tried others yet)

Anxiously awaiting news from the hard working devs :-)

 

[DPyro]

Hey, is it possible to use a SD gecko to save games to. I don't have a GC memory card.

Also in that game, have some loading glitches and problems to load any game from the Collection.

yes i just got to the ocarina part and it crashed on me, damn, i guess its trying to read something new from the dvd and crashes, or it could be something to do with it running on the wii, as it was ment for gc (as in something to do with wii-gamecube-mode doesnt like this disc) (i wonder if a legit disc works normally on a wii)

hopefully ther will be a good update that will fix this problem.

Nah, the legit disc works on Wii. But I heard Majora's emulation was buggy even with a legit disc on gamecube.

Yep

 

[gumbo]

thanks for the info, yeah it was surprisingly laggy

maybe ill wait for wii64 and run it emulated that way

 

[airpirate545]

So how do games that support 2 games like TOS run on this?

 

[NeoNight]

Not sure what caused it but the laucher seemed to crash when I tried to load spider man 2 NTSC. Every other game I tried either worked or gave a DRE. Great release overall! (I used wanikokos custom mios, I'am going to try and uninstall it and use wiigators to see if there is a difference)
