Sorry to inform you buddy but looks like the problem is with the Toshiba HDD not being compatible with DM, I finally got it working using an LG HDD but I still need to do some testing after I'm finished transfering all the games to the other HDD which may take some time, if you haven't bought the Toshiba HDD yet then I recommend waiting and asking around because it seems to me Toshiba products may not be compatible with DM!
Alright! I'm glad you finally have a working setup.
Thanks for the warning. I might stay away from those drives.

No problem man, just made a bigass test now and USB support seems to work fine, I did have an "error" message while trying Crash The Wrath Of Cortex once but when I tried it again it worked fine, everything else just worked fine, I even found a solution on how to make two disk games on USB-Loader GX to work without loading one disk over the other!

In the features list on the DIOS MIOS Google Code page it is written that you can reset the game by holding Z+R+Start. I tried this in Twilight Princess, but nothing happens. Does this feature not work yet or do you have to enable it somehow? I am using DIOS MIOS with PostLoader by the way.

You have to enable pad hook to do it, however in some games pad hook just doesn't work like Batman Vengeance!

If anyone is interested I converted a F-Zero GX (NTSC-U) AR code to .gct to make the game save valid for use with DIOS MIOS 2.2, it works with both real memory card and NMM.

If using real MC restore the gci file to ANY memory card (I use ctr-gcs to export and import gci files), copy the GFZE01.gct (provided in the download link) file in the same folder GFZE01 where the game.iso was copied. Plug the MC in solt-A and start the game, no more corrupted file message from now on.

For NMM first extract the F-Zero GX gci file and use gci2nmm by crediar, after conversion a folder named GFZE8P is created, inside there are two files f_zero.dat and stats.bin, then ONLY rename the folder to GFZE01 and copy the renamed folder and its contents to the "saves" folder in your USB/HDD device ("saves" is the folder NMM creates to store gamesaves if the game has the compatibility to work with NMM).Copy the GFZE01.gct as the same instructions above. Start the game and as expected there's no corrupted file message.

A new code was posted in the last two days that is wiird compatible. That's the difference. Zerofalcon's gct file has it. Try it.

there goes anotherone
  1. format your partition to fat32 with 32kb
  2. mark that fat32 partition as active
  3. put your games folder on the fat32 partition
  4. download your game it has to be .iso or .gcm
  5. compress it with disc ex or gamecube compresser etc..
  6. make a folder for your game for example sonic
  7. then once you compress it youll see the game name sonic.iso or so if the game is called sonic.iso rename it to game.iso then put it on the folder sonic. like this c:games/sonic/games.iso
  8. some games dont need to be compressed

I am trying to get Twilight Princess to work. I got it working with PostLoader, but I would also like to get it to work with neek2o, loading the game from the disc channel from my virtual nand. Unfortunately it doesn't work, it just gives me a green screen after the DIOS MIOS logo. I have DIOS MIOS 2.2 installed to my real nand. I haven't installed it to my virtual nand, because I believe it picks the one on your real nand if you don't have it installed. I heard something about DIOS MIOS not working with neek2o at the moment. Is this true?

How is your hard drive currently set up? Do you have one or multiple partitions? What format is it in right now? In disk management, on the left does it say it's a "basic" disk or a "dynamic" disk?

WOW thanks guys ,
so afterward i just make a other partition or just Drag + drop?
Just drag and drop. Wii and GC, all on the same partition.
- Your Wii games will all now be in separate folders inside the /WBFS/ folder on that partition.
- Your GameCube games each go in a separate folder inside a folder called /games/ you'll make on that partition. You'll just have to rename the file itself to be game.iso , that's all.
