Hacking Dios Mios Lite

[icebrg5]

Do the cables the wii is using have any effect on DML?

Im using the HD cables on the wii.

With r59 and cfg 27 or the new 28 gamecube games boot instantly and give me no issues at all.Only setting i change is i turn NO DISC to "ON" in the individual game settings menu.

If i try DML 1.3 i get to the loader screen and it just hangs there. Even with a disc in the drive.I've tried it with NO DISC set to "ON" and also tried it with NO DISC set to "OFF"
I havent touched any other settings.

Occasionally the games will boot but usually within 30 seconds i get the " please turn off the gamecube and refer to the owners manual message"


Could it be the sd card im using? Its a 8GB micro sd card with an adapter of course formatted to fat32 with 64kb clusters.It works fine with r59 though.

Okay , got past the GCloader screen , now guess what ? i got a black screen

Game : Shadow the hedgehog

Loader : CFG v70r28

Dont know why i updated , thought it would give some improvments (even though nothing was wrong)

I guess that's progress
Is it a black screen with or without sound?
For other people with the GCLoader freeze problem, how did you get past it?

Just in case you have the drive light option turned on, does the light keep blinking after the black screen or not?

Edit : I don't know much about CFG, what settings do you have set?

 

[WarchiefKhalid]

Without sounds , i keep pressing on my gc controller and nothing :s and no , no lights

The lights where blinking on old revs (58)

 

[Maxternal]

That's really weird. I'm sure it's just something small we're overlooking.
try the FIX94's DML Booter and change around the options in there.
If someone could just figure out what it is and fix it then all those who have these same problems could be benefited.

 

[WarchiefKhalid]

Rolled back to r58 , things working again

Ill be waiting for a fix !

i had the same problem with the loaders.(gx-cfg-wiiflow.) i'm using 1.3. try the dml booter. there are several on the thread. the one i made earlier was a tester for me, but i'm almost finished cleaning up the splash screen. the one i have bypasses the dml splash screen an goes right to choosing *60hz or 50hz. loades super fast.

PS: Now, if only I could get rid of that new loading screen

So, it IS optional then.

i feel ignored :/, i just updated to 1.3 (Was r58) and now it just shows a screen which says on the top "GCloader 0.3 (Apr 26 2012)

Thats it , it freezes on that , tried 2 games (shadow the hedgehog and sa2b) which were working on r58 but wont work on 1.3 :/

Are you by any chance using a Sony SD card? cause I'm having this very same problem with this particular SD while the SanDisk ones work fine!

So I did some more testing, I picked up my old 500MB SD and tried it with Crazy Taxi with DML 1.3 and USB Loader GX, worked like a charm, however I tried formatting my Sony SD yet again and it still freezes with the GCLoader screen, I guess this confirms it, DML most likely hates Sony products, hopefully this'll be fixed in later revisions but until then I'm glad my SanDisk 32GB SD works just fine!

Also I will report back that Sonic Gems Collection still requires a disk to work, other than that all of my GC games work like a charm!

What particular 32GB sd card works best?

Links would be appreciated.

Nintendo must have it hardwired into the Wii. It see's "Sony" and throws a fit, even if all Nintendo code was removed.

It's thinking something like this:

GCReEx problem:

When extracting Lara Croft Tomb Raider - Legend, I get a folder totaling 3.6MB. This is clearly in error. There is a file inside the ISO that is 1+ GB but GCExRx creates it a 0 bytes and ignores some of the other files in the ISO. I think it sort of crashes on that files and does not go on to the others.

Something similar happens with Beyond Good & Evil: the resulting folder is ~48MB, whereas the DiscEx compressed version is ~249MB.

Can anybody confirm the Tomb Raider extraction? It will be very quick since the output file is ~3MB.

Syntax:
gcreex -x gamename.iso

Thanks.

? what do you mean by optional, the loading screen or the the 50hz-60hz? the channel i made is off of lwarez an mod mii's usb loader aphorot? (can never spell that damn word..). but i haven't seen the splash screen once dml is launched form the channel i made.( i know what it looks like, i have seen it). but after i launch this channel it takes me right to the choosing screens, for tv output, an games..

Everybody advised me to get SanDisk, I did and ever since I never had any problems!

Where did you get it?

 

[sonictopfan]

take the leap, its nothing major, you can always roll back. 1.3 is working great for most people, myself included.

my only issue is with tony hawk 3 and 4. can anyone else try it and see if it works? i know it worked on a really old rev, im talking like rev 12 or so, but now it just freezes after accessing the memory card. i deleted my old THPS saves thinking maybe they got corrupted, but it locks with no memory card in.

tony hawk underground 1 and 2 work fine. just 3 and 4 freeze.

Sounds like the issue I had with Virtua Striker 2002, I got it working after I tried it not compressed, try it and see if it works!

I bought it off the mall actually!

It seems that the DML source repository is missing something. Compiling the code results in the ELF executable like before, but there's no sign of GCLoader or any sort of build script to generate the WAD file. Am I missing something here, or was this left out of the SVN repository for a reason?

Other than that, I haven't tried the new version of DML yet. I'll probably test it out sometime next weekend.

I just tested the same game (Shadow the hedgehog, GUPE8P) by using CFGv70r28+DML v1.3
and everything is fine. I don't have any problem to load/start this game.

Note: I use GCReEx to convert the ISO (GCReEx -x then -c) and put them in a FAT16/64k clusters 2GB
SD card.
Also I put a Wii game disc (Wii Sports Resort) in the drive in order to start this game.

Spoiler

here is my dml launcher, nothing aginst the other ones. i just didn't like them. didn't match up to my disc channel. an were to bland. so i used Lwarze channel, an mixed it with the mod mii, backup launcher channel.( used the icon from it.). so now it looks more like a regular disc channel.i'll fix the main splash screen so it looks cleaner.

Thank for doing this, it looks better than it did before. I look forward to seeing the finished channel.

Oh and for your information...
it's "LWares87", it's not either "LWarez87" or "LWarze87". If you can't even spell it properly, then don't even bother mentioning me at all.

Thanks, anyway...
