I'm running Dios Mios on my wii (not sure if it's lite, I don't think so). When I insert a game into my drive and try to launch it I get a flashing black screen, not even a splash screen. How can I fix this?


Also with wad manager I keep getting error ret = -1 when trying to select my USB drive.

Well, your using it completely wrong!
DM = runs games that are ON YOUR USB DRIVE, not wii drive....
DML = runs games that are ON YOUR SD CARD, not wii drive....
And why on earth are you running wad manager to select your usb drive?
If your trying to install a wad, put that wad in a folder called wad ON YOUR SD CARD.

DM and DML bypass the regular boot when you're trying to launch a game from a disc. I am trying to launch a gamecube disc from the wii menu.

Also, I was trying to install a wad from my USB drive as I do not have an SD card reader on my PC. I am capable of launching wad manager from my drive, but when selecting my usb drive for the wad file I get that error.

You need to re-install the MIOS that gamecube games run with.
By installing DM or DML, you've overwritten it.
Please read the "read me" when installing anything.
Either update dios Mios to 2.2 which supports retail as well or reinstall mios v10

That is what I am trying to do, and that's where the ret = -1 error comes in.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
