Try actually UNINSTALLING the latest DM 2.0 WAD with a WAD Manager using IOS 249 and then try re-installing DML v1.x again. There's a small issue with later updates of DM that they don't use the same content numbers as DML and the MIOS v10 so they don't always correctly overwrite eachother when switching from DM to DML or from DML to DM.

It could just be an incompatible USB device on the hard drive you're using but just to make sure for future reference, the minimum versions to work with DM are
WiiFlow r505
CFG-mod r35 beta2
USB Loader GX r1191
DM Booter r14

Uninstalled/reinstalled. DM still not working, but as long as CFG plays its little song, I can get DML 1.5 to work again.
I don't know why I can't get DM to work. I guess it's the hard drive, since I've done most everything I can to check everything else (and yes, my different loaders are all very up to date). I guess I just thought that if I was able to load Wii games off my hard drive, it'd suffice for GC games as well? I guess not. Probably why UNEEK never worked for me either.

PS: Thank you for the quick reply.
If i look at the bolded part, my guesss is that your hard drive is not formatted with the correct clustersize, it has to be 32 KB (or lower) for DM and UNEEK to work.
Also the FAT32 partition needs to be primary (and active, although mine works also without it being active).

Hm, didn't know that about UNEEK. I did reformat my hard drive for DM, though (I know I didn't quite word that right above). I thought I put 32kb cluster sizes, but I'll redo it to make sure. Also, just to be sure, since space isn't an issue, 32 KB clusters will be the best for game performance, right?

Hello Guys i have a problem, every since i swapped my old white wii's dvd drive (it broke) with a new black wii dvd drive, dios mios lite doesnt function the same. What i mean is that when i used to play super mario sunshine on my old wii with its original drive, the game worked perfectly. But as soon as i swapped the 2 drives, the gc controller would lock up. Can this problem be because of the new dvd drive in an old wii? or what?

so basically
White(Original Wii)(06') with new DVD Wii Drive that doesnt boot gamecube games, has started having problems with dios mios. can it be the drive i swapped thats causing all the problems or what?

What loader are you using?
if there's an option to change the boot method to "new" or "1.2+" or "52+" then I would suggest using it and see if that helps.

Did you check the compatibility list for DIOS MIOS Lite?
Did you try DIOS MIOS (over USB instead of SD Card)?

"Black screen" means that the game freeze at launch after the DML logo, or that you don't see any pictures but the game is working (blind playing)?

I've installed Dios Mios Lite 1.4 and DIOS MIOS v5, but I don't even get to the DIOS MIOS logo.
I've tried DIOS MIOS Booter, USB Loader GX, CFG, but whenever I select the Gamecube .iso the screen goes black for 1 second and the Wii turns off.

The same even happens for retail Gamecube discs when I try to load them from Disc Channel, and yes, I installed the newest version of DIOS MIOS update 5.

This is really frustrating, any tips would be highly appreciated!

This thread is for Dios Mios Lite v1.5 only.
If you need help with Dios Mios v2, try asking in the sticked topic named "DIOS MIOS (Lite)"

Also, you can't install both DM and DML, you have to choose one as they overwrite the previously installed version.


Sometime, the wii just switch off.
Try few times (3 or 4 times).
If it doesn't help, trying a different settings can help (different video mode for example).

All music for Gotcha Force sutters when it starts (and I crashed when returning to the menu when compressed, didn't bother to try to reproduce). Anyone else have the problem? Solution?

Tried the game both compressed and uncompressed.

Edit: I can can confirm MMBNT works fine on no-disc... except it can't save half the time.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it. I have DML 1.4 installed, and I can play GC games from the SD card without issue. It appears that I have lost my ability to play retail Wii discs. Is there anyway to retain both? I keep seeing comments that retail game support was re-added back to DML, but I don't know how to re-enable the ability to play them. Can anyone point me in the direction?

It SHOULD just work. What is happening when you try to load the retail disk? If it's just loading the last game you tried from SD, it's because your loader is set to use the "old" boot method. How that's changed, though, would depend on which loader you use. Which one is it? You would need to both switch to the "new" method and delete the file SD:/games/boot.bin for it to know it's supposed to boot a retail disk in that case.

    An underrated opinion: While Bluesky as a platform is better than Twitter, Bluesky's userbase won't be better than Twitter as people are saying because everyone from the non-bootleg site are moving to the bootleg one expecting for themselves to change with their attitude, but that never works like that.

    I will say though: Bluesky as a micro-blogging site? Needs a bit more oomph and I would officially like it better than Twiter. Can't even post gifs on that site, like what the fuck?
