Hacking Dios Mios Lite

[stfour]

No, I've tryed both... thank you

I need to make more test, but actually I can't use 480p.

What do you mean, does the 60hz games no longer have black bars? (all games in PAL has Black bars, or atleast very many)

i just used disc-ex 8 and i am playing gc games perfectly

I know GCMUtility's shrink function messes stuff up, which is why you have to fstfix afterward

Qwerty, I have always used GCMUtility's shrink function and I haven't experienced anything wrong. What kind of things are supposed to be messed up?

I don't remember where, but I read that it misaligned the files. Which, come to think of it, probably isn't anything *wrong* per se, but I had read that some loaders didn't work if you shrunk the games without fstfixing them. For now, I'm just going to keep using discex with compression and alignment until I have an issue.

What is the advantage of shrinking games? Is it just to save space on the sd card or do you gain anything during gameplay?

Shrinking just saves card space. Aligning the files to 32k boundaries does increase performance due to way DML does block reads.

In the how to thread I wrote how to use the loaders too, see 'On your wii'.

@[member='FIX94'], is it possible for you to modify CFG USB Loader to be able to use
DML to load GC from SD just like you did for Wiiflow (R417 mod) ?
(maybe you need to check with oggzee first ??)

Well I'm now working on wiiflow, maybe I'll add it to cfg-loader too someday...

That sounds logical and right in theory but sadly the games don't read like that, so that's a waste of time and space to realign all files to 32kB.

If you are trying a game which isn't on the compatibility list first you should always use a perfect 1:1 dump and once you can confirm it works you should try "discEX -c", since there ARE games that break after compressing (Geist, Metroid 1, Metroid 2, and maybe others).
There is NO need to run the through other tools like fstFIX or GCMUtility.

Aligning all files to 32KB makes only sense if you have an ISO that was previously incorrectly shrinked/compressed.

Uh ...
Hello community, I'm wiiphilic, like you. (?)
Luigi's Mansion works for me. PAL game on NTSC Wii, without forcing video (with color, anyway) and without using a memory card (I have one, but i didn't use it this time). The game works with a bit of lag, but the gameplay is perfect, for now.
Tested in Class 4 Kingston 4GB MicroSD.

Edit: Shit. In the first attempt, it works, but then freezes after meeting the professor. After that, in subsequent attempts, the game freezes when Luigi is entering the mansion, or when you press a button in the intro.

What causes these problems? D8

@stfour My Wii is running in 480p (60hz mode) also, can later try 50hz but at the moment I have other things to do^^ will report back when I find the time

So in my case, i don't need to compress them since i have a 32Gb class 10 SD card.

Shrink it to save space, if a game does not work align them, and if it does not work try using a 1:1 dump.

I'm not sure i understand what you're saying there since you're negating twice.

Why do i need to save space if i have plenty of space?

Do what you want if you have so much space, saving space is not needed then.

Sorry for my bad english. I try tell you is good shrink the games and if any one does not work you try aligning them and if no work whit that try a 1:1 dump.
In any case shrink games is the best way for have a lot in a SD card... and if you really don't play various games and only need few then do what it says FIX94.

@DML team, I noticed that there are currently not any DML downloads marked as "Featured". Can you mark one of the DML downloads as "Featured" to see if LinkFan16's problem from here goes away? Or if you prefer I can remove the check for which downloads are featured, whatever you want

Thank you. Let me know if i can help in any way or donate to your project. I work in IT and one of my specialities is software packaging, so if you need my involvement in any way with batch files or VBS scripts let me know.

I have to add that the ModMii Batch file package was very well done (whoever made it).

Modmii was created by THE GREEEEAAAAAAT XFLAAAKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

 

[stfour]

For me the version that works better seems to be the r12. Also on my wii, only the r21 debug works. r21 standard just black screen... this is strange as I've seen a lot of ppl using r21...

Tested again and all works fine... sorry for the bad information... I have no idea of what was wrong...
