Another Wii Backup Loader Surfaces
Open Source As Well
Wii Backup Launcher
Yes, that's right folks, it seems another developer has released a backup loader for the Wii.
The author (Wiigator) says it works and is fashioned just like Waninkoko's loader
Note that it is an unofficial, unsupported version that is available for download.
Also note that you must compile your own binaries (precomplied versions don't exist)

Hello,

after Waninkoko abandoned his backup loader, I started my own backup launcher project.
The source code is attached. There is only official released source code used. There is no leaked source code used.
The remaining code was newly written. The cIOS installer will download from Nintendo servers.
I added support for backups in GeckoOS. PAL and NTSC is supported. There is no binary included, you need to compile it using devkitpro (PPC + ARM).
In the spoiler below is a tutorial on how to use this software (written by the author, Wiigator.
PATCHMII custom IOS DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS
Sorry everyone. I couldn't remember that I had used Waninkokos original Custom IOS and not patchme. Please forgive me for misleading you

Category wrote up the steps to get it working so I added them to this post -
1) UNINSTALL any cIOS on your system
2) Install cIOS rev 5 (the one that was included in the first leaked loader) - CIOS36_rev5-64-v1042.wad
3) Install DVDX with advanced install, and choose IOS249
4) Copy loader to your homebrew channel folder or install the Channel WAD
5) Decrypt ISO with extractpartition/backup-creator (if using dvd+r set the book type to dvd-rom)
6) Launch the game

    Makes it easy for incompetent restaurant staff that don't know how to hear an order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.

    Most people that haul big tvs have empty trucks or know enough not to set it face down
