Nintendo Wii Backup Loader Leaked to the Masses!!

[sphinx1267]

what would you say the compatability rate is for this loader? I was thinking about selling my modded wii (with drive chip) and getting another and running only a soft mod. Has it given you atleast 90% positive runs?

I almost want to wait until an actual iso loader is released, everyone calling there apps iso loaders is misleading as they are only backup loaders of physical media.

Does any of these new stuff work for Super Smash Bros Brawl?

I've tested Trauma Center New Blood NTSC US, i only made it to the loading screen and it freezes from there

It's still in an experimental phase. And most errors come from the converter (which is not always able to convert the wanted IOS on the image.)

Give it a little time... it will become a succesful loader

I've compiled extractpartition for Linux systems.

To get it working, change to the directory where you downloaded it and do these in the terminal:

sudo cp extractpartition /usr/bin
mkdir ~/.wii
dd if=/dev/zero of=~/.wii/root-key count=1 bs=516
cp common-key ~/.wii

Then the usage is:

extractpartition <input ISO> <output ISO>

The tool will say there is a error at the ending but it still worked fine.
I compared the MD5s of a Battalion Wars ISO made with Waninkoko's Backup-Creator and WiiGator's extractpartition and they matched.

you know if there was a solid softmod i wouldent mind paying for it as im sure others would as well... but im more interested in using the wii as a multiplayer game for company... real gaming is on the ps3 or 360 or even the pc for a little crysis action now and then.

i applaud the efforts of so many on this front as opening up my wii is not something i really want or care to do..nor the ps3 for that matter! homebrew allows for so many venues.. like media streaming and integration of my portable and electronic devices around the home! now if i could only figure out how to take over the world... lol.

i've tested the gecko loader with several games also.. other than slow load times they seem to work flawlessly. great job guys i cant wait for an update.

Edit: hi all, i don't suppose anyone knows if there is a list of games anywhere that are tested working or not?

I merged your posts... regarding your question, I believe there is such a list at GBATemp.net, but I took a quick peek and couldn't find it so if anyone does feel free to post/link to it below.
