Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows of a good, concise, tutorial for installing Waninkoko's loader on a wii. Thanks.
Where it was originally leaked from: http://www.gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=105670

I havent looked into it but i think you need a pal wiii first off. Check nintendo-scene.com ?
And I don't see why we need a Pal Wii....

thanks for link. from the tutorial it looks like you can use an ntsc wii, but you have to use component cables for some reason.
You're welcome. And the reason for the component cables is to reduce problems. Such as black&white game play and blue/green screens.

Don't hold your breath. The developper abandonned that project the day the beta version was leaked. There's still a chance he'd change his mind and picks it up again but if I were you I'd use the beta version or just move on...

2008/09/19 - Congratulations! I don't care about who leaked Backup-Loader but now it's OFFICIALLY an abandoned project. Enjoy it.
It has been stated this program can ruin your Wii. It was not meant to be released yet, and can brick your machine.

That's too bad if it's really abandoned, it looks like it has promise. Do you think anyone else would continue the project? It'd be nice to have a stable version that wouldn't brick anyone's console haha.

I am very confident someone will come along and reuse his ideas/implementations to further advance the app. This is how the scene works. If you are patient enough to wait something will come along. If you want immediate results, grab the beta version and read up on it.
And I wouldn't be too paranoid about it bricking the Wii. There has only been isolated reports. You see, 9 people out of 10 would take a hammer to hit the nail on the head. The last one will take the hammer and pound his fingers and blame it on the hammer. If you read about it before jumping in and installing it and have a good understanding of what you're doing, things whould go fine.
Agreed, there may be some lack of functionality or buggy ones. But I have yet to see solid reports of it bricking any Wii consistenly.

So, not only would the Wii need to be continued to be reverse engineered, but his code as well.

It has no color issues on NTSC anymore and the source code has been released.

I hear the load times are very bad using these hacks. If thats true any games with fast motion video must stutter really bad. Mod chips are still a much better solution for someone interested in running backups.
... for now.
