It has nothing to do with being old or new.
It all depends on the USB to IDE interface it uses.
Some Seagate HDD for example send different information when a host asks for the remote information.
One time it's "Seagate free agent Go" and next time it will be "USB OEM Mass Storage Plus", with different product/vendor ID.
DIOS MIOS works with one but not the other.
 
So I set my Main GC path in USB loder GX to the folder with all the gamecube ISOs and they're not showing. I'm thinking I've gotten the wrong stuff downloaded.

Can someone please get me a direct download to the exact dios mios wad to make HDD and retail games work as well as the USB loader GX version that has the support for it? I've tried this multiple times now and I'm just frustrated.

It shouldn't have much to do with the GX version or the version of DM(L) you have installed. if your version of GX has a main path and an SD path it should at least show up.

For it to show up I think it needs to something like this, for example :
If your path is set to /games/ then then ISO needs to be in
/games/blahblah/game.iso
where "blahblah" can be whatever you want and the file itself needs to be named exactly "game.iso" and each game is in it's own folder inside the /games folder. I'd check to see if it's actually organized right.

Well I also went back and tried a retail game and didn't get the DIOS MIOS logo, so I really think my google-fu failed me.

If you have DiosMios installed then you can't even play a retail game without the USB drive plugged in since it tries to connect to it BEFORE checking to see if it should run off of it or off of a retail disk.

you should be able to get the latest version of DM and DML here

just in case you don't have it correctly installed.

Which one EXACTLY do I take?

you would choose one of the ones that say REAL NAND. The Dios Mios one if for running the game off of USB and the Dios Mios Lite one is for running games off of the SD card. You choose one of those two.

Well great now USB Loader GX is asking me if I want to copy my gamecubes games on my HDD to the SD when I hit start, what's it take to run them from the USB?

I'm glad it actually shows up for you. That's progress.
You might only have the latest official release version ( v3.0 ) and not the latest beta version which you can get here.
http://www.mediafire.com/?qdyomo41biv4rei
replace your current boot.dol file with one of the boot.dol files in the download (probably the one in the 249 folder)
3.0 was released before USB loading for GameCube was even possible so it HAD to copy it to the SD card.
The latest version (from the download) will detect if you have DM or DML so as long as you actually installed the USB version it should fix that part of the problem.
 
The first time I tried it the Wii instantly shut itself down, on my second try it's been hanging on DIOS MIOS for a good minute, shutting down and trying again.

Update: More DM hanging. Yay.
 
I am trying to understand this Nand/emuNand/Virtual Console/gamesave/Wiiware stuff. I got my Wii and Gamecube stuff working fine.

I currently have an emunand on my hard drive and I can see all the channels from there in USB Loader GX, but I don't think everything works.

I have:
SuperMario 64
Ocarina of Time
SMB3
Ninja Gaiden
Castlevania 3
The Legend of Zelda
Super Smash Bros.
Castlevania Adventure Rebirth

With regular Nand I can move and launch from SD card but it takes awhile to launch (copying to NAND or what I am not sure)

I have heard things regarding Triiforce/Mighty Channels/SNEEK/UNEEK + Di/joyflow and I am trying to make sense of it all.

It seems my current setup lacks some compatibility and still has memory limitations on emuNand size. What are my options and what are the benefits and drawbacks?

What method is easiest to transfer newly purchased titles to the emunand? Do I have to redump the Nand to do this?

Oh, have you installed a clean BC v6 ? Not having that can cause all kinds of unexplainable problems. Try downloading it with ModMii and installing. See if it helps.

First off, I'm not clear with what you mean with "I don't think everything works" with GX and emuNAND. What kind of problems do you get when you try to run them?

Yes, running it from the SD the normal way copies it to NAND to run it (to a temp folder on NAND IIRC) and that's why right after running one that way you have so many fewer blocks available in data management.

to explain a few terms, mighty channels is like triiforce GX. It's Triiforce with pictures. Both are kinda old. They were apps to open the channels directly off of the emuNAND. USB Loader GX, like other USB Loaders that can use emuNAND use a D2X cIOS to to do basically the same thing. SNEEK and UNEEK basically run the system menu off of the emuNAND and then you can have the system menu run the channels. SNEEK has the emuNAND on SD and UNEEK has emuNAND on USB. When they have the +DI at the end it just means that they are loading Wii disk games off of USB instead of the real disk in the drive. Joyflow is a version of WiiFlow meant to run while SNEEK or UNEEK are running but now normal WiiFlow can do that, too, so they've kinda been joined into the same thing.

to transfer newly purchased stuff, what I do ...
1. If it's on SD, transfer it to real NAND
2. If you don't have it already, get WiiMod from ModMii
3. HBC -> WiiMod -> Advanced -> AnyTitle manager -> pack into WAD
4. USB Loader GX -> settings -> features -> install WAD to emuNAND

Now that I think of it, it may be possible to just run UNEEK, go to data management and transfer from the SD card to NAND but I've never tried that before.
 
Well I just was double checking to see, and it works better than I remember.

Most games run but it seemed to me they had some very minor stutter/lag in parts.

I have weird channels that have some four letter name and show nothing. If I launch them the wii reboots to safety/health screen.

Super Smash Bros. hangs at the You will need the Classic Controller. I have the pro version and only the home key responds by showing the icon of No Homekey. This game I got free from Club Nintendo and it actually was downloaded on a different wii so I wonder if that may be the cause of the issue.

I tried your method to transfer a game. USB Loader GX says the WAD is invalid. I tried Castlevania Adventure Rebirth.

My understanding is my emuNand in my current set up is limited but if I move to UNEEK that I will have unlimited..is that true? Will UNEEK actually completely replace my system menu? Right now I access my emuNand through my loader (which I have a channel forwarder on my system menu for), with UNEEK would I simply boot to the emuNand and never see my System Menu from my actual nand?

Thank you.

I've been out of this for so long, you're gonna have to dumb it down for me, is ModMii something I have on my Wii? Or was that a PC program? And the file will be called BC v6? After I do that, what's next? It just works?

it will either be called that or just BC. Modmii is a pc app. It will download a wad for you to install. It's on one of the download pages along with the IOS's and channels.

And sorry for taking so long to respond. It's a pain to repond from a telephone.
