Wii GameCube Homebrew Launcher is a homebrew originally created by Mega Man to launch GameCube homebrews. It allows in particular to use an ISO loader for GC games and works from the Homebrew Channel.
The last version was modified by Hell Hibou to make it easier to use with Wii Homebrew Launcher. To use it, you will need to use a version >= 0.9 of Wii Homebrew Launcher.
Note: This program modifies the MIOS and therefore can be dangerous. Ensure that you read the documentation and understand what you are doing before using.
Installation
Background information
DOL loader is patched into MIOS. If Wii switches to GameCube mode, the DOL loader is always started. The loader will start GameCube homebrew if loaded by GCBooterHomebrew.
The loader launches the normal GC loader if no homebrew is detected. This behaviour can be disabled by reinstalling a normal MIOS via DOP-Mii.
Requirements
- Wii (with the ability to boot some Wii homebrew).
- GameCube Controller.
How to setup
Copy RVL-mios-v5.wad.out.wad to root of SD card (this file is not included in the archive but is located on the Super Mario Galaxy (EU) disc, Mario Kart (EU), Super Smash Bros. Brawl (EU) and possibly other discs. It can also be downloaded using NUSD. Use a different version at your own risk. The MIOS patching wad installer will only allow to install MIOS. This can only break the GC mode. Loader should not patch any starlet code.)
Patch MIOS using MIOSPatchingWADInstaller.
Copy your GameCube Homebrew DOL into SD root as start.dol. Use Wii front SD slot.
Launch GCBooterHomebrew. This will start the DOL on the SD card. If screen looks strange, you need to try it again. It is sometimes not working.
If you want to use Wii Homebrew Launcher to load GameCube homebrew: copy the EMULATOR directory at the root of the SD card and GC homebrew in /EMULATOR/GCUBE/ROMS.
Screenshots
Known issues
Tested with some GameCube homebrew on a EU/PAL console. The graphic mode is sometimes incorrect.
It is not tested whether GameCube disc still works after installing this.
