Great news for people using Wiigator’s backup launcher. He has just release a new version which is easier to install, runs more games, and loads them much faster than the initial version.

Check out Wiigator’s blog for the full story.

Please note that this is all done with version 3.3 of the Wii system version. Doing the recent update to 3.3E will cause you problems.

The big news is that the backup loader no longer needs dvdx. The installation is much simpiler. If you already are using the homebrew channel you’re 90% done. Next on the news list is that you no longer need to decrypt Wii images. This new version will play both 1:1 backups in addition to discs made from the backup-creator from the inital release. The last thing I want to mention is that it loads fast and a lot of bugs have been fixed. Mario Kart Wii ran perfectly for me and I no longer noticed slow load times.

If you followed my tutorial for setting up the initial release of the wii backup loader then all you need to do is download the new backup launcher and add the two apps, Backup_Launcher and cIOS_Installer, to /apps on your sd card. After that, run the cIOS_Installer and then launch a game with the Backup_Launcher. I was able to use cIOS_Installer without uninstalling anything and it worked perfectly the first time.
