Hacking Dios Mios Lite

[WiiPower]

What I don't get is how crediar managed to get it running from USB in the original project.

I think he tried to switch the mem2 from aram mode to mem2 mode for reads and back to aram mode afterwards. Since this switching does not work with the current code, i think it only worked in those games that do not use aram. Well, something like that, let's just just this usb discussion, it's leading nowhere.

I think he forced the Wii to run the Gamecube games in Wii mode, but it had major issues, such as lag from the reading from the USB.

I don't think that's true. I'm pretty sure there would be no way to run Gamecube games in Wii mode.

Yes, it is possible. That is what the original DM did. The problem is that USB access requires using MEM2 which means you have to disable Gamecube ARAM support as MEM2 is also used as GC ARAM which is why only a handful of games worked.

A weird experiment to whom it may concern:
1. Create dmlr12 wad
2. use showmiiwads to change the IOS slot to 212 (just picked it up, can be any number) and install it with the wad manager
3. Convert any GC ISO to wbfs format using wit and place it in usb://wbfs folder
4. Run USB Loader GX and start the game you converted after changing ios slot to 212
tada...
DML runs the last game you played in DML menu using Neogamma or Postloader
Maybe someone can benefit from this to integrate DML in USB loader GX
n.b. syscheck might give problems when checking ios212 but who cares

From now on stuff like "DML runs the last game you played in DML menu using Neogamma or Postloader" will not work, except i get a good reason to change it.

This would work for ANY app that loads IOS212 by my understanding. Or any other app for that matter. You can just install DML to any IOS slot and write an app that consists of this as the source:

#include 

int main() {
IOS_ReloadIOS(###);
return(0);
}

Where ### is the IOS you installed it to.

And all you need to do to boot a different game is update some file on SD card I think. The rest is all handled by DML.

EDIT: Although apparently this won't work for booting last game in newer revisions. But if you added code to update the file on SD, it should work with DML installed as an IOS if you want to have regular MIOS installed as well.

Deleting the boot.bin after reading. And if there's no boot.bin, DML boots the inserted retail disc. This alows to boot retail GC discs from the disc channel again.
...

Nice But only retail games? So my old backups on dvd don't work anymore? Is kenobigc.bin supported for this booting as well?
By the way, how do DML handle the disc swapping rutine for multi disc games? (for example Baten Kaitos)

I wonder if you could have NeoGamma check a designated slot (234 for example) for DML, then MIOS if it isn't there. That way you could run backup discs and DML without having to switch between them.

Probably, I'm sure if that's something WiiPower sees as beneficial he'll add it.

 

[G0dLiKe]

Why does it matter what crediar (or anyone else for that matter) thinks/says, it was sold to G0dLiKe therefore he should get to call it whatever he damn well pleases.

That's damn right !

Thats right, yeah.

Anyways ATM I couldn´t care less how its called, the main interest is in getting this baby working and doing what it should and this is becoming better and better.

We can give the girl a name later

 

[WiiPower]

I answered to this in another thread. There's a reason why BC is used.

 

[G0dLiKe]

Who decided that "c" was property of Wiigator?
Custom firmware for PS3 are © Wiigator because it's called cFW?

cMIOS is not ONLY property of Wiigator, but ok I understand that some users may be confused with the name "cMIOS" (and can think it's the same project/continuation as Wiigator's) instead of "custom MIOS" or "User modified not official MIOS" umnoMIOS?.

I used the name c as a contraction of "custom" to explain to the end users what it was (a modified MIOS), but I never made the relation with a way of internal coding.
I never made the relation of "c" = loading disc, or enabling USB, or whatever user may think it implied. It's just a "custom" as "written not officially by Nintendo".
I never meant to be disrespectful to Crediar either.

Whatever, it's a project meant to replace the function of the original MIOS.
It doesn't need to be tagged.
So let's change the topic again to remove the "cMIOS" string to finally please everyone.

I'm sorry that the topic name made some people angry.


edit:
And to be super exact, should it be uppercased?

No bad feelings mate, I added a poll to this very thread to give ppl a choice for the name, lets see what the outcome is

Well OK, I would simply leave it this way because it fully explains what we are talking about here.

Ugh, I hate it when people say that. It means you DO care! I'd smack you upside the head right now if you weren't in charge of this project, lol.

Can the DML include a cMios (such as Wiigator v4 or wanin v10...) that runs all kind of discs and multidisk games when boot.bin is not present?
In this way SD games run with DML menu and All GC game discs run from disc channel.

Has anybody built/tried r18 or r19? Have they fixed the SD card self-destruction? I'd love to retain normal usage for retail discs, but I'm not keen on risking trashing my SD card like r15/16...

lol. r19 worked in my first test OK, but WiiPower said it's not completely stable.

 

[chaosdarkneo]

You should just wait for the public release instead :/

It makes more sense, as they'll be confirmed working as soon as they're put up.

If you really want to play multi-dol games, I suggest you compile the source yourself and backup your SD card.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Can anyone create a wad for DMLr12 with NMM enabled.

 

[SifJar]

Yes, there are plenty of people capable of following instructions.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I answered to this in another thread. There's a reason why BC is used.

Why not having a cBC that runs 2 different Mios (DML and cMios) depending on whether boot.bin is present or not.
As such DML or cMios can be installed to any IOS slot and they will not run at wii speed. right!
