Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[MrKill]

I'm having compatibility issues with 2.1 and 2.2 as well.
Out of my collection, the following games are no longer working:

• Luigi's Mansion (freezes on the Nintendo logo sound)
• Mega Man Anniversary Collection (freezes after Bink Video logo)
• Shadow the Hedgehog (black screen)
• Star Wars Bounty Hunter (black screen)

They work fine with DM 2.0.5
(Used CFG USB Loader mod r37 beta8; I may try with DM Booter to see if it makes any difference.)

I would add 007 Agent Under fire, but on DM 2.0.5 it crashed at the end of level 2, (black screen) and on 2.1 it was stuck on dios mios.

windwaker is widescreen without any option enabled for me no black bars if i enable it it does nothing and stays the same? im so confused.

Is your TV perhaps stretching it? I don't know about anyone else, but my TV stretches 4:3 stuff to 16:9 widescreen when it comes to whatever the Wii is outputting (this isn't the case for everything other than the Wii, so this has always annoyed me a bit...no idea if it's the TV or the Wii). Windwaker has no 'native' widescreen support, though the hack works pretty well.

well if that was true then woudlnt the games i mentioned before be full screen as well if my tv does to that. i dunno man im lost

I think your TV "guesses" that all 480p is widescreen and stretches it. Almost no gamecube game natively supports widescreen. Mario Sunshine doesn't, Wind Waker doesn't.

Currently at 2.0.5, anyone see a reason for me to update? I'm not using any hacks right now.

Quite a lot of games have a widescreen option if you look for it.

I do own a few, it's true that some have it (Robotech and Eternal Darkness, for example). It's too bad that Nintendo themselves seemed to not be too keen on having it as an option.

If its currently working with your setup and the games you play i wouldn't bother.
I'm still using an older one as well since it plays all the games my kids use and it still compatible with CFG loader.

I could update CFG to work with the latest DM 2.2 but i dont like the way the unofficial mod one looks with all the green icons ext.. and if i update DM to 2.2 without updating CFG then no games will load through CFG and my kids wouldn't know what to do.Although they work fine with dios mios booter but my kids have never used that and i dont plan on showing them how to either. I use it mainly just to test games out when DM gets updated to make sure the ones they play still work.

It's understandable given it reduces the overall image quality - the amount of individual pixels in the framebuffer is constant so when the field of view increases details are lost. It's like putting a wide-angle lens on a 1MP digital camera.

Yeah, I understand (it's not like that widescreen image isn't still 480i or 480p)...I still wish it was an option at least.

However, ED is an audio streaming game so I just keep that one in the drive all the time rather than loading it via SD/USB.

Suberb work from Crediar... More and More Games are now working in 480p on my HD-TV since 2.1 . Whats missing now is the button option to leave the games to the wiimenu (worked with 2.0). Hope Crediar fix this one soon

-Install Dios Mios 2.2
-Usb Loader Gx R 1197 with
Ocarina disabled
progressive patch disabled
nmm disabled
led enabled
pad hook disabled
no-disc disabled
widescreen disabled
debug disabled
And memory card in slot B and gamecube controller in slot 2 !

Anyone still having problems getting Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II to work? I've tried an assortment of USB loaders (USB Loader GX, Wiiflow, and DIOS-MIOS Booter) and none seem to want to properly load the game. The last couple of revisions were apparently supposed to fix the problem, namely DIOS MIOS r18 and r20. I've tried with and without no disc patch, both either give me a black screen with no DIO MIOS splash, or a black screen after the DIOS MIOS splash. I also have NMM, debugger, and pad hook disabled (looking at the compatibility list, those don't work for the game). I'm quite sure it's not the rip, and I can confirm that every other game I've tried appears to be working.

When you don't see the splash screen, it's usually because your HDD is not correctly initialized (at least, for me, with USB GX, when HBC didn't switch the HDD correctly). try reconnecting it while DIOS MIOS is waiting on the black screen.

can someone clear up some confusion for me. The option to force widescreen i dont understand the need for it or what it does exactly. Even without that option enabled games like super mario sunshine are full screen no black bars yet other games like star fox assault have a black bar on both sides with or without force widescreen enabled? i dont get it. Thanks in advance

Like it's visually explained few posts above, it's not the size of the displayed picture on your TV which changes (it doesn't affect the black bar), but it's the content of elements displayed on the picture which are increased. It's like if the game was shot from a farer distance by the camera to show you more game's content. It's like a wide angle, on the same amount of pixel. Like Tueidj said, it affects the picture quality and reduce the details, but prevent the distorted pictures. Another solution to prevent distorted picture is to change your TV display back to 4:3

Does anyone have DM 2.2 or any version at all working with neek2o rev 88? I just get the following error when I try to run it:
DIOS-MIOS v2.0a
Built: Jun 30 2012 00:40:30

Alloc:Failed to clear memory!:FFFFFFFF

Then the Wii just powers off. DM 2.2 works fine for me on real NAND, but it'd be nice if it worked in DM so I can run other MIOSes..

I also have this error (but not the same value) on real NAND with DM2.0
Though, newer DM versions don't display these logs anymore.
I posted these logs on previous page (before page100)

My solution : try again few times. after 2 or 3 retries it finally boot.

new update from Crediar
2.2 (2012-07-20)

• Added a new DVDLowRead pattern (fixes Luigi's Mansion USA and maybe other games)
• Made the DVDGetDriveStatus patch optional via a config since it broke some games (DML_CFG_NODISC) (fixes Prince of Persia:Sands of Time, Goblin Commander, King Kong, ... )

for me it fixed Luigi's Mansion, Midway Arcade Treasures 3,DDR mario, Metroid Prime 2 all working great again.

I'd also like to add Tales of Symphonia to that list. It seems to be working just fine for me again.

 

[KiiWii]

BMXXX (USA) / Mario Golf (pal) and crazy taxi (pal) all fail for me using wiiflowmod r605 and DM 2.2 update 2 (NMM = disabled / no dvd = default)

Anyone got these working?

 

[daxtsu]

I can confirm PSO 1&2 to work now with 2.2 update 2.

Edit: PSO episode 3 hangs with "An error has occurred. Turn the power off and refer to the Nintendo Gamecube Instruction Booklet for more information."

[intermet]

It was working with 2.2 rev1, see previous post =D

 

[daxtsu]

It wasn't for me.

PSO3 will not work without another hack, intermet is just faster in posting than reading ...

Thanks for the info.
