You know, if the loaders were to detect the config version of DM and then half-blindly always just report that same number back to it when sending the configuration there would never be a "apploader size is zero" error.

(You would never know what to expect it to do when the version is changed to something the loader doesn't know what to do with but it could always give the user a "update needed" or "incompatible DM version" prompt and just send all zero's or something like that as the config to be safe.)

Here you go

I added Wifi log for Devolution and DML2.2+ support, and a Force Widescreen setting for DM.

Now you need to set the installed DM version manually in the Global Loader settings.
If the selected version doesn't match, DM will not use any settings and boot from Disc.
By default it's using the latest known DM version, so if you didn't update DM yet don't forget to change the setting.

USB Loader GX r1197

Added DML 2.2+ new NoDisc support.

USB Loader GX r1198

You just choose one of them (probably the DOL file in the 249 folder) and make sure named or renamed boot.dol and put it in the folder in the /apps/ folder where your previous version was. It should end up being something like this /apps/usbloadergx/boot.dol

Does Dios Mios still break wii games?

It shouldn't have ever broken Wii games, actually.

I just had a little bit of luck with getting PSO to load, but not much. Trying it with 'no disc' disabled didn't really get me anywhere (still the black screen after the DIOS MIOS splash), but with it enabled, I was finally able to get it to load... somewhat. PSO gave me a "The Disc Cover is open, if you want to continue the game, please close the disc cover" error, but seeing as how the Wii has no disc cover... Inserting a disc didn't really make a difference either. I see people have been getting it to work with the latest revision of both DIOS MIOS and their preferred USB loader, so some help would be appreciated.

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

The problem I was actually having was Showmiiwads wasn't extracting the .app file from dios mios into the proper place, so I had to go in and manually update it.


Now DM 2.2 is booting on neek2o for me.

You didnt use the DM neek version on the diosmios google code page?
And why not?

I prefer neek2o.

I thought it would be the same version for both neek and neek2o.
I also thought the neek version was installed as a BC and not a MIOS ... while this would explain why ShowMiiWads wasn't extracting it into the right place, it's interesting to me that it still works for you just moving it to the MIOS folder. (assuming that's what you actually did)
Since it's calling the MIOS without running BC code, does it go faster for you that way by any chance (BC not dropping the clock speed down)
a normal, original Nintendo BC in neek would actually run the MIOS from real NAND and so not touch the MIOS from the emuNAND ... what do you have installed on your real NAND?

I'm just kinda intrigued what's actually happening here.

 

[cirjeffrey]

im still having the same issue. what else could be the problem? do i load the game through dios mios bootloader or through usb loader gx? before i run the game through the GCReEx application am i supposed to leave it as a .gcm file or convert it to iso? are there any changes in settings im supposed to make? sorry for all the questions but i just want to get this to work

 

[d.d.d.]

I'll change the setting name in GX to prevent confusion.
In fact I'll add a second NoDisc option called NoDisc+ (I hope it's fine with Crediar).

The NoDisc setting will alert the user that the option is not used anymore and that he needs to put a disc in the drive instead.
The NoDisc+ will be shown in the game settings only when using Config v2

edit:
Also, Sorry, I don't have any Japanese game to help with the compatibility list.

So what's the difference between the first NoDisc & NoDisc+??

And with the 2.2 7/20/2012 edition, are all games being forced to widescreen now? Because if so that would be nice to turn off in some games.

I have some Japanese games; are there any in specific that needed to be tested?

Spoiler: Most of my JP games I can remember right now

Adventure Island
DK's Jungle Beat
Donkey Konga
Donkey Konga 3
Doubutsu Banchou (AKA Cubivore)
F-Zero GX
Kururin Squash
Luigi's Mansion
Odama
P.N.03
PC Genjin (AKA Bonk's Adventure remake)
Soul Calibur II
Star Soldier
The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords
Wario World

(edit - how do you do a spoiler list so that it doesn't take up so much room?)

Put (spoiler) (/spoiler) around it... but use square brackets instead.

EDIT: in GCReEX, i need use -x in the cmd o -C? i dont understand :S

-x is for extract an iso
-c is to rebuild an extracted iso

GCReEx.exe -x GWRE01.iso creates a folder named GWRE01 (Wave Race Blue Storm iso for example)

GCReEx.exe -c GWRE01 rebuilds the extracted iso as out.iso (GWRE01 or whatever the GAME ID is the name folder to be specified when rebuilding an iso)

Hope this helps

Can you explain to me how t use gcrexe, I just don't get how to use it .=.

 

[AngryGreek766]

is it just me or does beyond good and evil not display properly its in like a letterbox widescreen or not.

Sure, I got it from here: http://gbatemp.net/i...tion=boardrules
You're not allowed to ask for help with where to get pirated stuff, mate.

Regarding the "new" NODISC option (DML_CFG_NODISC) in DM v2.2,
is there anyone know which game has to "turn on" this new option
(EX: through GX r1198) then it can work correctly ?

Its easy. Download gcreex and extract the archive to your desktop. Drop your iso in the same folder as the gcreex.exe. Open a command prompt (winkey+r, then type cmd),

Then type

cd desktop/

this will change the directory to your gcreex executable.

then type

gcreex.exe  -x

at least i think its that. I don't have access to a windows computer to test atm

Brilliant stuff.
