Wiibrew developer WiiGator has released a new version of Backup Launcher, a combination of GeckoOS and a backup ISO Launcher.

This is a major update too. The program now has faster load time, and now supports non-patched as well as patched (or decrypted) games.

The initial release of this program made some waves in the Wiibrew community in more ways than one. Remember that Nuke made it clear that he had nothing to do with this program, though his code was used for it, so don’t ask him for support.

Right now the program is still in its beta version, so not all games are supported. Here’s the changelog from WiiGator:

• Cinematic now working properly
• Wi-Fi Enabled
• Faster Load time
• Drive speed is still 3x. It is so fast that some testers believed it is running at 6x.
• Supports non-patched and patched Wii games (The correct term for “patched” is “decrypted”)
• Not all games will work, but as of now most do.

Note that WiiGator advises against updating official firmware from Nintendo, as this might render the Backup Launcher unusable. Please go through the download’s readme, or follow the source link for more information on this.
