Hello guys
I need some help. I have a NTSC wii with 3.1U firmware
I have tried my best to follow the guide that is at the beginning of this thread to install the wiigator's gamma launcher on my wii but it has been really confusing.
I'm having problems installing the cIOS that is needed to run the gamma launcger. It gives me an error "failed to locate temp folder, size 214xxxx something" and it's driving me crazy!!!!.
According to everything I have read, I think I have to uninstall any previous cios I have installed through the wad manager and then use the cios downgrade. Will this work? or do you have any other idea how can I fix this?
Now, this is what I did:
1.- I installed the hombrew channel 1.0.1 using the thwilight hack, that part was easy
2.- I downloaded the apps that are in this link at the beginning of this thread: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AI4N77F0
Here I was confused with the boot.dol and boot.elf file. In the hombrew channel zip file, it has a .dol file. And in the rar file that is located in this link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AI4N77F0
there is a boot.elf file.
what's the difference with those? because I replaced the boot.elf with the boot.dol thinking that it could cause some errors.
3.- Anyway, I replaced the boot.elf with the boot.dol and copied all those folders to my SD card and put it in my wii. I loaded the hombrew channel and performed this step of the tutorial "4.)Go to the homebrew Channel..click on WAD MANAGER..install CIOS36_rev5-64-v1042 "
4.- I skiped step 5 because there is a parragraph at the beginning of the tutorial that says I could skip it.
5.- I did step 6 of the tutorial.
At that point I was lost. I found some videos at youtube that said that I have to install the cios (the one with the sonic picture) in order to run the gamma launcher. I tried but I started getting the error that I mentioned before.
Later, I realized that inside the rar file that you download here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AI4N77F0 is not the wiigators gamma launcher :S.
6.- I found it in another page and downloaded. I copied to my sd card and tried to install the cios with no success.
7.- I uninstalled the cios I previouslly installed with the wad manager to see if that helped but it was useless.
8.- Also I installed the dvdx using the advanced setting and chose ISO249 to see if it helps but I got the same error.
Any help will be really appreciate
And for God's sake, could you remake your tutorial and make it a little bit easier to understand for someone that is doing this for the first time. The tutorials in this thread and the ones in youtube are totally different.

Thanks evnflow for answering :D. But still, how do I fix the error that I get when I try to install the cios for the gamma launcher? should I downgrade my wii using the cios or ios downgrader?

Try using DVD-R instead of DVD+R.

Does anyone know if it is safe to do the updates which come with the games?

So i followed the guide to the letter. Everything installed fine.

I get myself a copy of Wii Music run it through the back up creator burn it with imgburn. Put the game in it loads then the screen goes black when the game comes up the it's in black and white and the screen is rolling from top to bottom.

My question now that you have read my boring story is...
Is it the copy of the game, the burn, or the software.

This is my first time using any of this software. The idea behind it all is amazing. Any help with this would be of great help and it would help me tame the inner demon of a otherwise very sweet and caring 5 year old......lol
