Wii GameCube Backup Launcher 0.1 Theta

Purpose: Run GameCube backups on the Wii.

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.

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.

Thanks to WiiShizzza for the graphic

Thanks to all people who will handle the most noobish noobs here

Differences between my CMIOS and Wiigator's CMIOS.

- Mine is based on MIOS v8, Wiigator's is based on v5/v6 if I'm not wrong.
- My loader is a little more simple for newbies (insert disc and run, no need to choose for video mode).
- Includes support for my Multigame Loader (that I expect to release tomorrow).

That's all.

Read the readme included with the compiled loader, it has all the links for v4, v5 and v8, just pick one they all work.

[quote name='Golfman560' post='1759335' date='Feb 8 2009, 01:33 AM']Yeah, the file he provided is the source, but includes the compiled stuff inside another zip file. you use those files and put them on your SD card (It should only be 2 folders)[/quote]
Got it working. At first I had no idea where to put the MIOS, but that was resolved by paying attention to the error that came up when it failed to find it. Now to load up a game! :)

Why does this not read my current save files on the Memory Card?
Does it make a different save from the original?

Odd problem tho, the 1st time you start a game, it does not find your saves, after that it is fine.
Anyone else having this problem?

Here you guys go, pretty good quality video of the loader in action (It might still be processing, it should be up in a few minutes)

ppc_gba already detected that this is only working with his 3rd party nyko memory card, if I understood him correctly.
