GameCube Backup Launcher 0.2

[quote name='wolf-snake' post='1845025' date='Mar 23 2009, 03:03 PM']you´re lucky i can´t start a game in colectors eddition the wii restart when i select a game well i´ll keep test it[/quote]

Ive gotten Zelda Collection and OoT+MQ to work. Press start when booting the game. If you choose to exit and play a different game on the disc, you have to turn the system off completly and restart the game. If you exit thru the menu, you'll get an error code. Same goes for Sonic Gem Collection (All US games). Hope this helps.

Sadly, Ikaruga is still not compatable yet.

i heard all this talk of action replay 1.14b not working but does 1.14c work?

1.14c is the same as RARE's 1.14b. I compared the two dols with a hex editor. Exactly the same. I have never had a problem using AR pal versions on my NTSC gamecube or Wii using softmod. There is a version of 1.14 that is labelled USA. I can confirm this version is different ( I used a hex editor). They look exactly the same and with same codes when run though.

Sonic Gems Collection NTSC-U now doesn't work. I get a DVD error pressing A or Start.
With Xi it was working (pressing A, pressing start a was getting a green screen). It's on a Multi Game disc and the other games works (All of them are NTSC-U)

Star wars rogue leader is now working kewllll

Thanks for the update Wiigator !

whenever it reads my backup I get a black and white screen collor scrolling mess, as though it is a pal game, but my wii is region free....idk ill wait for an update intil there is a fix i guess

Thanks for the update Wiigator. I am not really sure if this was something i did, or a bug, but figured since it happened you'd wanna know, in case it is bug or, i really have no idea. Ok so, I have pre-loader installed with cioscorp, softmii n all that junk on a 3.2 NTSC wii, I uninstalled the old MIOS and installed the new one, then turned the wii back on, pre-loader came up, I hit to go to system menu, black screen, waited a few seconds, reseted and BANG system menu loaded fine that time, with none of my channels that were there before..... everything except the bare-bones mii and shop channels was GONE lol, so anyways I am smart and had all that shit backed up onto an sd card in the private folder or whatnot, so as to be able to copy what i want back and forth fairly easily.. just figured it was worth mentioning, so no one FREAKS if it happens to them, I used MIOS 8 for the patching and used the allow wii backup launcher and disc channel thing when i patched and the cios i have installed is Wanin's latest.

Thanks again for the awesome releases, regards

Edit: I havent' seen that many blocks free on my Wii for AGES

Here are some answers to the questions:

NTSC and PAL selection:
To get around the TV mode selection problems (if 0.1 Xi was working), you have 3 possibilties:
1. Boot using Wii Backup Launcher
2. Use disc channel
3. Insert a different working disc. Start rungcbackup. Change disc at startup screen (when you see the name of the game).

Action Replay (Select button at startup screen):
Press A to boot copy
Press B to boot original

Phantasy Star I&II - I don't know if you can play this without a network adapter.

Alien Hominid should work (not tested).

Zelda Collection, Gems Collections
In general you need to press START to get games running which reloads itself. The japanese version of Zelda Collection is auto detected, so you can use button A to start.

The GC Backup Launcher is not prepared for Action Replay with reloading games. I need to know the disk id to add auto detection.

Q: What does "Allow to select to start disc itself when using a multi game disc" mean?
A: You can select GCOS on a GCOS multi game disk. Starting GCOS makes no sense, but selecting it for the second disc (press Z).
- So you can start a game from a multi game disk and later change to the second disc, which is not burned on a multi game disc.
- Or you can start Action Replay from a multi game disc and use it with a single game disc.

Ikaruga and XIII is not working, because the audio streaming is immediately reported to stop after start. The game stops when the audio streaming is stopped. Most games ignore this. Someone with the original disc or a working modchip needs to run a test program for me, so I can get the correct return value (I think any game with audio streaming will do it).

James Bond 007: NightFire and Phantasy Star I&II seems to be more than reloading. They are also self extracting. This is not supported by GC Backup Launcher.

I think that the missing sound in games like "1080 Avalanche" and "Star Fox Adventures" will never be fixed, because the hardware doesn't support it. You need to change the drive firmware or need to rewrite to much code of a game. I don't know how the hardware handles the audio stream.

In regards to using the Wii Backup Launcher, is there a way to have it load 0.2 instead of xi when it opens?

I've had no luck in trying to run via disk channel.

All my burns are switching to PAL on my NTSC console.

Hey there. I'm having trouble getting the miospatcher's network installation to patch this for Disc Channel use. I had it working last night, and decided to use AnyRegionChanger to re-install 3.2, for a fresh start. Anyways, when I tried to install the patch again, I received an error: falied to allocate buffer for encrypted content, size was 808.

Edit: did an offline installation of v8, working fine. Thanks, WiiGator!

The loader will change the screen format in Wii mode to the screen format of the disc inserted at startup (this solves NTSC problems).

the loader starts fine but when I press any button to start a game..... the screen resolution change and the loader freeze.

this happens with any games.

Run the new version of MIOS Patcher (making sure to press X before installing).

Why do my NTSC games not have any colour when I launch it, they worked with colour on Xi. Do I have to install a new MIOS or something?

Yeah, I don't get any color either. Although, the game that previously did not work, Baten Kaitos, works fine now.....without color though =\. I also might add it has really wavy lines at the start up for some reason.

Awesome work!

Could anyone confirm if the problem with the map freeze in Wind Waker got fixed?

EDIT: ok.. I checked it and it still gets stuck

is there any way at all to make this run in color? i dont see what the point of updating was just to make it black and white?

Phantasy Star I&II - I don't know if you can play this without a network adapter.

On the gamecube is PSO I&II working without any network adapter, there is an offline mode.

to Wiigator: I have an original copy of Ikaruga (PAL). tell me if I can help you with some test. Thanks for your hard work

In the Zelda collector's edition, when playing the Song of time in Majora's is a problem again!
