I was talking to friends and they were saying there's a wii backup loader that's been released.

has anyone tried it yet, and what do you need for it?

apparenty load times are so slow as to make it almost useless.
Modchip is still the way to go at the moment.

The new beta loads games pretty fast,almost as fast as a retail game.

For more info I who suggest this site.

Just a note,this beta will only get better and Im so glad I didn't get a modchip.

I've been doing a bit more reading up on it and the guys that are actually using it seem to say its pretty good.

it plays some things and not others and a lot of games don't play properley, freezing issues etc
i'm with syntaxerror329 on this one, stick to modchips

Its still in beta form so of couse it can't play everything.Most of the games I have tried work great and are pretty fast on loading.

Here is a compatibility chart.

somebody mentioned tha you need the game Zelda Twilight Princess, but I was reading the tutorial and didn't see it mentioned anywhere that you needed that game to use the backup loader.

got a link to the tutorial? theres a few ways to launch homebrew in gamecube mode via the memory card slot, but AFAIK the only way to get wii-mode homebrew is with the twilight hack

ok, my mistake it actually does say its needed , I re-read it again when I looked up the tut.


Backup Launcher 0.3 beta

the advantage is you dont always need twilight princess, you just need it to install the homebrew channel, then you can run the hack (or just about anything else) from there, so you can just rent or borrow the game
