Dios Mios only allows USB loading. DML only allows SD.
I'm pretty sure that I've run games from SD using DIOS MIOS (not DML). AFAIK, DIOS MIOS supports both SD and USB.

Wy wii has no disk drive (It can no-longer read any games of any kind)

Would there be any way to continue playing my gamecube games on it? I have attempted DML but it required having a wii game or a GC game in the drive. Since my wii can't read disks anymore it failed.

Hi, before old loaders required the disc to be read, now they dont need to be read, they just need to be present. Also, there's the no-disc patch that may work too

And which is it ? do you have NO disc drive or does it just not work lol


My disk drive still functions but it doesnt read games anymore. And there's a no-disk patch? I'll have to look for that tomorrow when I have more time to do so. Thanks!
The no-disc patch isn't something you need to find or download. You just start DM without a game disc in the slot. And as long as your drive spins discs, you can enjoy DM(L) since the game discs are not actually read from during playing off USB.

Is the motor broken on the drive? What happens when you put in a disc? Like i said it doesn't actually need to read the disc. and yes, the no-disc patch is set by the loader but doesn't work with all games

anyone started a compatibility list for hardware?

That won't help anything. It's not the hdd that's unsupported, but the USB Controller.

Form example I got a CN-Memory branded drive, but a Samsung hdd is inside.

The Controller from cn-Memory is compatible, but if I use my other case it wont work, as theres another Controller inside.

Also there might bei different Controllers in different charges (oder and newer revisions) of the same modell.

I doubt that manufacturers are throwing random controllers into every usb drive, unless people are retarded and just say I USE WESTERN DIGITAL instead of specifying a model, then a compa t list would be fine.

Hmmm... I seem to recall loading from both USB and SD with one of the earlier versions of DM (are we on the third one now?), but just now I found that the most recent version will only load USB.

I tried Metroid Prime and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and they load fine. You'll have to try it yourself.

I just ripped MKDD + SMS using clean rip to SD, used discEX to make the correct iso on my PC, transferred the descEX image to /games/ on my FAT partition on my HDD (which is partitioned 3 ways (usb1=Fat/2=WBFS/3=NTFS).

Installed wiiflow mod 506 + DM v2.0 wad (all real nand never used sneek/uneek/neek etc)

Every thing works fine but the light on the disc slot goes ape shit while I'm playing games off the usb? Is that right?

Seems i've run into a roadblock here. Every time i boot the game my Wii restarts on me. Here are some settings:

Running Dios Mios Lite
Configurable USB Loader v70r35
Sandisk 2GB SD Card formatted to FAT32 64k
Luigi's Mansion iso format scrubbed (all files are in the proper areas, it just refuses to boot)
DML Version: DM
Real Nand

What i've installed based on the information in this thread:
DIOS MIOS Lite v1.5.wad
RVL-mios-v10.wad
RVL-bc-v6.wad

What am i doing wrong? Do i need something else? I've also tried Inserting a retail copy gamecube game and the same result happens.

Cfg usb loader mod detects converted games on hdd, but before loading it takes several minutes and does something. 'Booting Wii game' Sometimes it goes to 99,99% and freezes but after that i can play the game normally without any delays. Anybody knows what it is doing before first launch of the game? I played those games previously on dml 1.5

Maybe it's converting the game somehow? If so how game should be converted by discex in the first place?

btw... why is this not front paged?
I tried to make one, but I didn't have any idea what to write except a very short sentense "Crediar has released DIOS MIOS. You can know play your Gamecube backup from USB". That's not too short? I'm not a good news redactor :(
I'll ask other staff to write one :P

Edit:
I posted it. Thanks to VatoLoco.

Has anyone else problems with Super Mario Sunshine?The game seems to start as normal,after the title screen I select to start the game but when the game loads Delphino Plaza,it freezes.

I am sure that I have not a bad rip because I ripped my original GC disc and the game was running perfectly from SD all this time...

32k cluster size is the max. Can't be any higher then that.
