Hacking dios mios issue

[luke9511]

Yeah, this is really a mystery. Like you say it's probably something simple we're overlooking but I'm kinda stumped.
If nothing else, have you considered Devolution (I know it's not an option for everyone.)

yeah i tried it and it works but i just dont like having to use the disc im just going to have to keep trying, the syscheck says my wii is version 4.1 should i update to 4.3 and redo my softmod from scratch and see if that helps?

The system menu version really shouldn't have much effect on DiosMios. If you wan't to update, it wouldn't hurt to just download the WAD's for all the "active IOS's" with ModMii and then install them. You'd have all the benefits that way.

And as far as Devolution, the main disadvantage would be space. . . actually I noticed in your video you changed the 32k align and compression option from OFF to ON. It would be most compatible without those so are you sure you had those off when you ripped? Since 1 to 1 rip would be most compatible with DM(L) anyhow and that's what Devolution needs, if you have the loader.bin already in place where your custom path is set you could try switching the setting to "Devolution" and running it just to see if the disk verifies. If it doesn't, there's always the chance it's a bad rip ... just bad luck your first try.

yeah those were already off i read in different places where some had them on, i did turn devolution on in cfg loader and loaded resident evil 2 and it worked i have also used modmii to update the ios's and cios's

Okay, devolution works = good dump (and you shouldn't need the disk anymore for that game at least)
I don't have RE2, but RE1 loads up fine for me in DM as does Twilight Princess so not sure what to tell you ... gotta keep thinking ... have you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling DM? ...

how do i fully uninstall it? also when using wad manager what ios should i have loaded to install dm?

Use the WAD manager to uninstall. The one that lets me install AND lets me uninstall is 249.

Okay, important detail here, don't know if you've mentioned this:

What's your Hard Drive setup like? Number of Partitions? Format? Cluster size? Total size?

 

[ketosan]

Dude luke951,
i had the exact same issue that you're having! 2 days of nonstop researching now i figured out what was my failure.
Just look in my quote.

Damn it, it does not work. Just happens the same. When i start the game the DiosMios logo appears for 5 sec then it's getting blackscreen and stuck like forever... I'm getting mad damn it

You're not the only one.

I'll say to you what I said to the last guy we couldn't figure this out on ... Have you considered Devolution? (assuming it'll work for your circumstances.)

I have good news i got this fuckin shit finally work ahahha! Sorry for vulgarity, but i'm so happy that figured this shit out. The key was to make sure that SD Card and the USB HDD (Partition) is formatted in FAT32 (IMPORTANT: you have to format the HDD in 32kb clustersize).I also recommend to use CleanRip to dump GC games + optimizing with GCReEx. Use the latest DiosMios 2.2 and USB Loader GX 3.0 Beta mod in my case it was r1202 which you can find here.

Other details, now that I think of it, it has to be the first primary partition on the hard drive and it's preferable that it's plugged into the USB closest to the edge.
It also can't be a drive bigger than 2tb or set up as a dynamic disk.

Yup, that's it (thanks @[member='ketosan'] for pointing it out. We knew it had to be something simple) Your drive is formatted with 64k clusters and the MAXIMUM for DM is 32k. Other than that it looks like the partition is in the right place and everything but you'll need to reformat.

any certain software i should use to change the cluster size the software i have has a option for it but it needs the pro version

If you happen to already have WiiBackupManager, that will do it or there's this

Use, r1202. It should fix that problem.

ok did that and went to load re2 again and got a black screen before the dios mios logo im going to check my settings and make sure nothing got messed up

EDIT i decided to try cfg usb loader and it loaded re2 perfectly seems to be a issue with usb loader gx forgot to add that i dont mind using cfg loader as i already use it for my wii games so im just going to delete loader gx and stick with cfg loader

 

[luke9511]

Well out of all the games I tried only resident evil 2 and twilight princess works, re zero, re and re 4 are 2 disc games and star wars rebel strike won't load at all nor will super Mario sunshine or metroid prime don't know if it is the loader or dios mios
