Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta

[snarfoogle]

When installing the MIOS from the internet, it says "failed to allocate buffer for encrypted content, size was 408". Can I fix this from my Wii, or will I have to manually download the files? Hopefully I can fix this without having to get to a computer with SD card support.
Also, I'm reinstalling the MIOS because the GC backup launcher was kicking me back to the Health & Safety warning screen. That was a MIOS problem, right?

Just get the files and use FTPii, or whatever it is.

mattsslug: try using the B button (use patched mios) at the selection screen to load your game. Hold down B button again as game loads to get 480P, if its compatible. I had the same issue when using the R button at the selection screen to get 480P - just a blank screen.

Wiigator, I would suggest trying to add GBA - GC cable support to the backup launcher support whenever you can.


(awesome work man, you guys made my Wii amazing. I probably would have sold mine a long time ago if it wasn't for your stuff. keep up the awesome work)


Edit: Also, i've seemed to notice that using the backup channel creates a second save file entirely for the same type of game.

Windwaker without the backup channel created one, and Windwaker with the backup channel created it's own entire save file.

I was wondering if that was an issue you couldn't work around, or if you intended to do that.

darkSlayerEX: To convert an original save file to work you will need gcmm 1.0 to copy the save file and any hex editor (google) then just zero out the first 6 characters by putting 12 "0" (without the ") on the hex side (THIS WORKS WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY GAME). Hopefully, there will be a fix for this in a later version ...maybe Iota.

Buzbee: Do you know anything about the GBA to GC support? apparently it doesn't work right now.

I've got a problem..... I can't seem to install the ios patch.... It comes up with an error. It says bad hash at the bottom when i try to install the patch. Also when i try to start the GC backup launcher it will restart the wii before i can select the game region. This is most likely due to not being able to install the patch properly. Thanks in advance!

DarkSlayerEX: I don't know about GBA to GC support and I doubt it will be a priority anytime soon. I am hoping for Action Replay support for backups. I already created a program for support for original GC games using patched dols and Mega Man's GC homebrew loader. The actual discs themselves are blocked by firmware but the dols still work. I am hoping they can incoporate this soon so it can work with backups. We just have to learn to wait, something I and most of the other posters hate to do :0. Apparently, they have "lives" and just don't drop everything to cater to our needs. GO FIGURE.

I've tested the above with the newer Custom MIOS Installer (rev 03) by Waninkoko/WiiGator which uses RVL-mios-v8.wad using network install and it still works. No need to install RVL-mios-v5.wad.out.wad.

I didn't say I was in a hurry. I was making a suggestion =P

The mIos installer doesnt work.
It says:

restarting -1017?

Is there any other mios installer?

 

[Buzbee]

reinstall cios 249 and then try, it will work



Ok now my problem

I have Curious George GC (of course I had to have problem with my son's favorite game) use to save no problem with original before custom MIOS, made a copy tried it and it hangs on the checking memory card, so I tried without works fine but no save. Since I have the original I thought it didn't matter but it does the same thing with the original, I tried deleting the savegame but it just hangs on the checking memory card. All other games work fine. Will try getting a new card to see if it works. Now my question is: did the custom MIOS or backups of game did something to my memory card that makes that game not recognise it anymore?

Thanx all, and big thanx to WiiGator

cerebus: I think I just answered that. Go to previous page and look at my response to DarkSlayerEX. Maybe that will help.

 

[cerebus]

I tried gcmm but it saw no save game on my memorycard (gave me a no card --3 message), so that's when I deleted my save game to see if it could make a new one

 

[Buzbee]

GCMM currently only works with 3rd party memory cards - No Nintendo ones.

I've been toying around with this and was curious about something..

Was trying to load Paper Mario Thousand Year Door (Super Paper Mario 2 La Puerta Milenaria), of course this was the PAL version. (Spanish one?) I'm assuming PAL covers the region and language change. Though I get a black screen even though I can hear the audio in the background. I checked the compatibility list and see that it works.

Aside from that I don't know much else and I gave a few searches to no avail.
I have yet to try any other GCN backups I have yet, need to back them up still. >_>;

Am I doing something wrong or is this due to the region?

How many times did you try ? The first time i tried to launch MP 2 Echoes on a multi game disc, the loader crashed, and right after i installed de cMIOS, the Gamma Loader also crashed, but the both worked after that, Wiig@tor said sometimes for unknown reasons, the loader crashes...

Though I get a black screen even though I can hear the audio in the background.

PAL and NTSC games have different video settings, so only some TVs can properly display both. However you can force the video mode except I can't for the life of me remember how right now.

I believe you hold B on the Gamecube controller as you start the program.

I'm using the Custom MIOS as well, v3. Couldn't find the proper WAD file so I made my own out of the DOL file.

Have selected the auto detect feature, tried forceloading NTSC and the various other options. Going to try them a few more times, it either randomly crashes which is to be expected by the earlier post. Reboots to the Wii Menu, which it seems to have stopped doing and just the no video feed once more. Green screen of nothingness too. Will play around with it a little more. *Rather determined to get this working.*

 

[DarkSlayerEX]

Wario World crashes for me constantly, even when the compatibility says that version works

I've tried launching it with all the different region launches, and no luck....
