Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta

Purpose: Run GameCube backups on the Wii.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N6946KPF
Mirror: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4757

In the source archive there are the binaries as archive included. You will need to first to extract gcbackup0.1_v7.tgz and then gcbackup0.1_theta.tgz.

Not all games are working and it still contains bugs. If you have a problem don't send me a message. Just post in the forum. You will get a faster answer.
Check first: http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/index.php/Gam...patibility_List

Don't start complaining that a game is not working. You have the source code and can fix the bug. I do this in my free time and I don't get paid for it.

There is a video showing it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xak8qdMKbU&fmt=18

It is prohibited to use any of the software to illegally copy games, they are intended only to create and play legal backups of games that you own. In some countries or regions it is still illegal to make copies of games that you own, check with your local authorities if you are unsure. I cannot be held responsible for any misuse of these programs. The use of any of the above software is done so at your own risk. If you mess something up or anything undesirable (ie: loss of warranty, brick, lawsuits, jailtime) happens because of any of these programs, it is your own fault. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Short Instructions:
1. Run miospatcher
2. Press X (only one time!), if you want to use Wii Backup Launcher or Wii disc channel to start.
3. Press A
4. Run rungcbackup
5. Press A and play your game

This application theoretical can brick your Wii and make it unusable. It was written to be safe as possible. If something fails it should only have effect on the GameCube mode. You should still be able to use Wii mode and repair it by installing a MIOS with a WAD installer.

Why even bother? It doesn't work and has been verified enough times....it does work on an original disc though.

because, I also have a zelda collectors backup that works entirely, though i seem to be the only one, so maybe this will work too.

Is there a download to fix this or do we just have to wait for the fix to be implemented into a new version of the backup loader?

Here is the audiofix patcher, it works with modchips which dont have audiofix support, I'm not sure if it will work the Gamecube Launcher though.

In my experience , this is what I have done so far, NTSC-U 3.2U, MIOS V5 patched. I burned Paper Mario NTSC-U standalone, worked flawlessly even with progressive mode. Then I did a GCOS V4F multidisk, soul calibur 2 PAL, Burnout PAL and Paper mario NTSC-U in one disk. Soul calibur works but I have to press B to make it work. If I hold B to activate "60 hz" mode, it freezes. Paper mario worked with autodetect, but no progressive mode. Finally Burnout...oh wow...everytime I tried this little bugger either it locks up with a green screen or nothing. What's worse: when I turn off and on, sometimes it would not read the dvd or freeze up! But if I eject the disk and turn off the WII and put it back then I could play the other two games. needless to say that's scary....

Edit: I did have the BURN proof kick in because after you run the gcos multidisk utlity it thrashes your I/O...so maybe it could be a bad burn?

[quote name='Trune' post='1761789' date='Feb 8 2009, 11:27 PM']I can confirm that Skies of Arcadia PAL now saves properly if using the B (Patch with MIOS) at start-up function. The user must also delete the old 'corrupted' save games that you originally saved using a different version (such as the NTSC/480P/PAL60/PAL type of boots).[/quote]

Thank you, you are my savior! I'll check it later. Great game!

Nice, I've just finished downloading Skies of Arcadia :) Thanks for the heads-up!

Has anyone tried Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 NTSC on a PAL Wii yet?

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Or a good contition 40" Sony Trini that weighs 300 lbs. lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Dont know anyone wants those smaller ones. Most are after larger sizes and the kinda top of the line models
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Motion handling and input lag on those things destroy plasmas, led, oled

    the Sonys and stuff I don't care about
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    and used LCD are hard to sell I can imagine.. not worth much
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
