Hacking Dios Mios Lite

[jefffisher]

Is their ever going to be a release where you don't have to have a wii or gc game inserted? Was just wondering (And also that I can't seem to find any of my games in my 100s of disc )

try one of your other discs i couldn't find a wii game either, been using it with a blank dvd-r till now but when you said that i just tested it with an xbox game and a movie both of those worked just fine as well.

Didn't know it could work that way o__0.

I'll try it out when I get home.

Why does DML do a disc check before loading a game and is it ever possible to fix this?

Apparently that's how GC mode on the Wii detects the "lid" of the GC being closed.

I was watching WiiGetItDone's video today and there is a step that I consider could be easier.(not very different in fact)

In the step of converting the iso to disc ex (at 2:35) he first convert the iso, then browse the created folder, rename the iso inside, open the iso, shrink it and then create a new iso and delete the previous one.

What I do is create the iso with cleanrip, then I shrink this iso(same way like in the video) and disc ex it. The created folder will be already shrinked. It not so much different than the procedure in the video but it might be a little easier I think for those people that don't want to browse the folder contents.

I did it in that order because (maybe I'm just making this up, though I'm pretty sure I tested it) I found if I compressed them first then ran them through DiscEx, DiscEx would make them 1.5GB again.

Anyway, if there are drastic changes in the coming days or weeks to DML, I'll consider making an updated tutorial. I'm surprised at the attention it's gotten, thanks for having me on the front page

nobody has answered me why does my wii reset itself each time??? even if i have disk in it??

 

[WiiPower]

It's still not a cMIOS!

my wii resets its self no matter what it does it with neogamma and postloader why is it??? i really wanna play some GC

Are you sure you insatlled DML correctly? Try it with ModMii, it's the easiest way. Just create the wad and install it with WAD Manager.

Because you totally install an official MIOS.

 

[CzeroXCI]

I don't know if someone reported that but : In "Zelda - The Wind Waker" (PAL version), it's impossible to see the map in the Forsaken Fortress, the game froze when i want to look it.

Thanks a lot for the Dios Mios Lite

I'm glad we understand each other.

Look at the compatlity list and patch the iso file, there is a link.

Yes i did it with neogamma and postloader first and then i tried with a nand and it does the same and i have no idea why

No, I tested it yesterday both ways yours and mine and the resulting folder after Discex shrink the same size. Your video it's great, very clear and informative! Let's hope there are some major changes for DML so you can upload another cool video

 

[FIX94]

You guys got some idea who added four swords adventures NTSC-U to the list? Because IIRC only NTSC-J had tetras tracker.

 

[SanGor]

iirc that feature reads the player name and that's only in the JAP version of the game.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

How can I patch Luigi Mansion from PAL > NTSC?

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks Fix94, is it possible to launch muligame-GC-discs with this last revision as well?

 

[FIX94]

The changelog says nothing new about it.

 

[Taleweaver]

Lol...the changelog for rev20:

* Allow booting gamecube retail discs without sd card inserted
* Allow MIOS to patch games on retail discs like Wind Waker
* Added launching gamecube homebrew like cMIOS do, but DML is still NOT a cMIOS!
* Allowing gamecube homebrew to read DVD-Rs like cMIOS do
* Commented out some functions to save some memory

Well, if it looks like a cMIOS, handles like a cMIOS...even tastes like cMIOS...then it must be...

SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!! YEEEEY!!!!


I'll give it a go. And let you guys know if the thing made my wii explode.


EDIT: so far, so good. I can't say I notice much difference in revisions speed-wise, but if a game like F-zero plays smoothly, I can't really think of games that don't.
