Hacking Gamecube Backups not working at all!

Download this: *removed URL to illegal files* Unzip using PKUnzip for DOS, WinZIP, WinRAR, or any ZIP program for MacOS X onto your SD card in the folder sd://wad/. Place your SD into your Wii and start your most trusted WAD Manager. Install the WADS from this ZIP and enjoy.

I also included DIOS MIOS Lite v2.10 which only allows running Gamecube games from the SD card. If you need DIOS MIOS v 2.10 (Non-Lite Edition for both USB/SD game loading) let me know and I'll shoot it your way.

I already have v2.10 installed for USB loading, but can we start at the begining, my WII is not finding any GB on the usb drive yet it is seeing all the WII games without issues.

I shall start by installing the iOS's you sent now.

My findings.

CFG USB V70.r15 - Reads from USB ok but then copies game to SD card - Error on screen = Gamecube Backup Load V1.1 ERROR Could not read disk id ret =-1

Wiiflow - reads all games on USB drive - Error on screen = Gamecube Backup Load V1.1 ERROR Could not read disk id ret =-1

postloader - reads games from USB and SD - copys game from usb to sd then - Error on screen = Gamecube Backup Load V1.1 ERROR Could not read disk id ret =-1

Ok after some messing about i have it working now!

Heres what you need to do...

install CFG USB Loader then go here here and download cfg70MODr50.dol copy it into your CFG USB Loader folder remembering to delete the old boot.dol and rename this one.

You can also use USB Loader GX by downloading the DOL pack from here and over writing the DOL file (as above, i used r1213 for IOS 249)

install DIOSMIOS V2.10 wad (any version will work but this is newest)

get your GC iso and drop it on DiskEX to create the correct game folder with ID tag

copy GC games into usb:\\games\ then should be [GAMEID]\game.iso

load up your USB CFG Loader and it should be reading of the USB. (my drive was formatted with 32kb clusters, primary partition and made active.

hope that helps you out, please post back if it works so other newbies like myself know it works.

A7mag3ddon,

Is there a GUI of DiskEX? All I have is the command line version that is ran from a DOS Prompt window.

It does not need a Gui, simply extract DiskEX to wherever your ISO files are a drag and drop the ISO's onto executable, a dos window opens with basic info about the game and a percentage going up 1 minute later you have a folder called the Game ID and inside game.iso... simply copy that whole folder to the usb drive and place in Games folder as described in my post.

don't use discEx or GCReEx or even DMLToolbox.

Step1:
Take your ISO file, and rename it to "game.iso" (the 4 letters g+a+m+e, not the game's title).
put that "game.iso" into SD_or_USB:\games\Whatever you want\game.iso

THAT'S ALL.
DIOS MIOS (Lite) is setup :grog:

it's a matter of "renaming the filename" and "placing it into a sub-folder of your choice".
your game doesn't need anything else to be "set up correctly".

Step2:
install DIOS MIOS (lite) wad file.

DONE !
you successfully installed and setup DIOS MIOS (lite) in 2 steps ! isn't that wonderful?

Now use whatever loader you prefer (DMLBooter suggested to test your setup/harddrive compatibility/easiness to use)

If DIOS MIOS + ISO on USB doesn't work, try another hard drive or use DIOS MIOS Lite + ISO on SD.

Your HDD must be setup like this:
- games on the first partition on the drive
- FAT32
- 32k/cluster or less
- Primary (active or not, this has nothing to do with the Wii, it's a Windows setting)
- not more than 2TB
- Not using Advanced mode (4096byte/sector). This is a physical size, you need a different HDD if it's not 512byte/sector.

Your SD card must be setup like this:
- FAT16/32
- 64k/cluster or less

like you see, SD card is easier to "test" if you correctly installed everything.

My problem was the GameCube games on the USB HDD were not being read by the Wii even though Wii games on the same drive were. after i sorted that games booted just fine.
