Backup Launcher v0.1: Nuke's GeckoOS with backup ISO launcher

Wii Back-Up ISO loader 0.1 Released, Gecko OS dev - Image 1

Wiibrew developer WiiGator has released Backup Launcher v0.1, a perfect marriage of two great programs: Nuke's GeckoOS, and a backup ISO launcher.

This program is basically an unofficial update to GeckoOS 1.07. Nuke says in his blog that he wants it "perfectly clear" that he had nothing to do with this release, so don't ask him for support for it. According to Backup Launcher's readme, waninkoko doesn't have anything to do with the program as well, either.

A note for everyone interested in this Wiibrew: this is a source code release, you'll need to compile it yourself using devkitpro. Here is the readme from the author (this was not included with the download, so pay attention):

Compiling Order

Run "make" to compile:

extractpartition
dip_module
copy dip_module/bin/dip_module.elf to cios_installer/data/dip_module.elf
cios_installer
geckoos

Create DVD

To create DVDs you need extractpartition. Don't call this patching. It only decrypts the DVD. Patching is done within GeckoOS.

Run extractpartition
Burn output file to DVD-R (raw iso)

Installing

cios_installer - if you get an error message like "-1017" then you need first to uninstall IOS249.
dvdx, choose IOS249
geckoos

Note: cios_installer will install a custom IOS v6 which is same as Waninkoko's cIOS v5. You don't need to install it, if you already installed cIOS v5.

Thanks to SpongeFreak52, bam and jantunes for the heads up!

This is really old news...But I have tested it and it DOES Work. I tried to convert the extractpartitio n to windows, but since I am on a 32 bit OS...I don't think it can handle it since it doesn't support 64-bit processing...I could have done something wrong, but it WAS working until it reached a certain part.

It worked weird with mario kart, I think I need to burn the ISO slower, but I don't know.

Something must have gunked up our news tips email, sorry about the late credits. Thanks!

Is it loading the disc slowly?

If so... that's because of the limits intentionally put into DVDX by wiibrew.

# Teehee. — SpongeFreak52 2008-09-29 13:30

Why thank ya. ^_^

# ... — Stinky_1 2008-09-29 13:52

so, you dont need to run this through the image creator of wani's first? i can run this off a regular backup? if so, then this is great news!!

# ... — Venom228 2008-09-29 13:54

can someone help me with devkitpro i dont know how to get the make file or know how to get it ready for this

# no... — happygg 2008-09-29 14:54

you still need to patch the image with that app...

its basically the same but with video mode changer and oricana? it fixes the gittering in mp3 and the black and white with some pal games on ntsc tv?

also.. mario kart doesnt crash on first race for me anymore, crashes on 4th... so maybe some improvement in the basic code also

# yo — Venom228 2008-09-29 15:06

yo happygg can u give me step by step intructions on how to do this from the start

# Yes and no — natalic 2008-09-29 15:20

Yes, it is slow, but sometimes it just locks up completely.

# This is still in beta — natalic 2008-09-29 15:24

This is really in beta form, I don't recommend using it yet. To those who asked how to compile it:

extractpartitio n is a unix application. It will only build under Unix...I have a copy running in Windows based on a recompile I did myself...Still working on it

The rest, I have no worked with yet, you are better off getting http://rapidshare.com/files/149227804/wii_backup_launcher.rar because it has everything in there...I used it myself, so hope that helps.

As I stated, BETA, very BETA. Use with caution. but WiiGator did a good job getting it working. Enjoy!

# thx — Venom228 2008-09-29 15:28

THANKS U ROCK

# worked well for me — jspliff 2008-09-29 16:31

I came along this earlier today and figured I'd give it a shot. It has worked for me with no trouble for both SWTFU and Guitar Hero 3. Only in GH3 the songs play off sync but if you hit pause and then unpause at the beginning they are fine. Noth games were NTSC and Im in ohio so I figure my TV and console are as well. Worth a shot if your bored.

BTW the dvds were burned at 16x. Not sure if it makes a difference really.

And I got this already compiled from

# wow — Venom228 2008-09-29 16:53

Endless Ocean [NTSC]

Working: Semi

Problem:Crashes when loading a level/ocean. Force NTSC

# Predator — Venom228 2008-10-01 15:11

yo did u try Wario Land: Shake it yet it wont even load up lol ive been trying alot of things to help it load but it wont

# WL — jspliff 2008-10-01 18:41

Wario Land Shake it loaded for me but the opening story goes so slow and you cant skip it. i let it run for 15 minutes and the story was still going so i said forget about it.

De Blob and Madden 09 are also working for me.

I have noticed that a couple games wont load then I reset the wii and try again and they load the 2nd time.

# Venom228 — Predator04 2008-10-01 22:47

Wario Land: Shake It! [NTSC]

Working: Yes

Problem: Cutscenes lag (unable to skip). Remove batteries before load screen to get past freeze.

# stupid endless ocean — Venom228 2008-10-02 08:33
