NES Hacks

Many people were ecstatic to here of the release of Waninkoko’s Backup Launcher. His partner in crime, WiiGator, has taken a step forward, and is developing a Backup Launcher that supports GameCube backups. Here is a preview video of it in action:

Obviously, with a pending release like this, WiiGator was kind enough to clear up some information about the final product:

The last days I was working on a loader for GC backups. This is only a preview. The release will be within the next week.

A tester made a video showing it in action. Sorry for the bad quality.

Here are some notes:

I tested it with the games I have. All games seem to be fully working. There may be games which are not working.

IOS249 with backup support need to be installed (e.g. my cIOS r7 from backuplauncher 0.3 gamma).

DVD speed is still limited to 3x.

There are sometimes problems with the DVD read speed. So there is sometimes a very short delay in a few games. The game play is only barely influenced. This was only the case for one of my games.

If you eject the disc, no disc can be detected after it. For 2 disc games use the second disc to boot, if you need to change the disc.

You will need to copy MIOS files to a SD card if you don’t have a internet connection (either Version 5 or Version 6, both is working). There are problems with the Nintendo servers in the last time. You may not be able to download it.
