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.

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 all people who will handle the most noobish noobs here

I get this error using wi-fi and SD


I also tried installing waninkoko's custom MIOS and I get an -1017 error[/quote]

If you have Wii Lan Adapter then you dont need those files. Just installing MIOS that came with this loader folder. Those files are for people who do not have internet.

No, I am saying I tried both methods...and both give the same "hash BAD" error
[/quote]

are you using a modified cIOS? you HAVE to use the one that came with wiigators gamma wii launcher. i tried installing the cMIOS when i had the modified rockband cIOS and i got the same error. i uninstalled it, installed wiigators, and problem was solved! (idk if that will be the case for you...)

Yes, yes.
I was wondering if this might be the problem, but didn't want to go through the hassle of uninstalling and reinstalling.
Beisdes I'll take Rockband over gamecube compatibility
Thanks much

:yayds: 1st off Thanks to everyone that had a part in this and the gamma loader,which I do have and works perfect.

Hey guys, it looks like this thread/blog is more active than the one in Wii Hacking section. I posted my question 3 days ago and nobody responded to that.

I am not demanding anything, just asking a question... Maybe somebody knows/heard something.
Does anyone know if there is something in the works to fix "an error has occured..." problem? Maybe there is fix for that already but I missed it.

Trying to play Midway Arcade Treasure 3, doesn't matter what button I press, it gives me that message, but if I press Start button at the gamecube loader screen, it actually goes one step further and takes me to the game selection menu and then after I pick a game and press (A) to start a game it gives me the same message.

Thanks!

I see that no-one has answered if this works with rockband loader or not...
Maybe I'll get brave and give it a try it won't be today however,so if you know if this works alongside the rockband loader please let us know...I'd really hate to mess something up just for the gcloader...
Again thanks to all of you for the work that you do...you guys rock!!! :P

Hey all.

For some reason the Gamecube Backup Launcher 0.2 isn't working for me. I installed the MIOS needed to run the launcher, inserted a GC backup I burned onto a Sony DVD-R disc, and it seemed to be working fine until it prompted me to pick what region I wanted; the screen that says "Press X for PAL, press Y for NTSC", etc.

Somehow it's not detecting my GC controller or something, because the launcher is just sitting there doing nothing no matter what button I press. Is this a MIOS problem, or a controller problem? I've reinstalled the MIOS several times (one time using the Wii Backup Launcher support and one time without it), and I've even tried switching out controllers but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I dont like multi game disc on a DVD-R. I am using mini DVD-R just like real Game Cube mini DVD and they works GREAT!!!

...okay, so now I'm getting a "Failed to read DVD 263" error if I wait until the GCBL loads to and THEN put my game in. After that it crashes.

If I try to load it from its own channel, I get various errors involving the launcher freezing and displaying weird colors and the screen gets corrupted before I get prompted to do anything.

Anyone have any ideas on what this could be? Help would be greatly appreciated.

I recorded everything properly and without using the shrink, using DVD5 and DVD9 I missed "3 DVD5 Sony" and "a Ridata DVD9.
My Wii is unlocked with d2ckey, USA and firm 4:02 Homebrew Chanel installed, finally got everything USB Loader and Backup Loader Wii and Game Cube.

The DVD MultiGame boot but does not show the games list, I used "ISO Creator MultiGame v3.4.4F +".
I press "A" on Boot after "A" again and nothing.


Sorry for google english.
