Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[demoniac]

Try Dios Mios Booter. Works with lots of Pal Games perfectly on 480p. Wiiflow is not as good to launch gamecube games. Dios Mios Booter works much better!

...both are coded by me, and both use the same code, so that post is not really correct

Yes but Dios Mios Booter works much better on my Pal Wii. More needed options, more Video Options (needed when playing in 480p or 720p (the patched 480p is missing and needed for Luigis Mansion f.e., Wiiflow makes Codedumps with new diosmios 2.2 Rev and ... For Wii Games Wiiflow is great but for GameCube Games its far beyond your own Dios Mios Booter. Thats my opinion. So more games work perfectly with dios mios booter in 480p and 720p upzoomed then with wiiflow.... Maybe the next wiiflow update has all the options from Dios Mios Booter but I don`t know . But I don`t know if there is already a new version out...

I have identical compatibility using wiiflow r615 against dm booter r30.

Ok tested NTSC version of Mario Golf = worked first time! PAL version will not boot on my PAL console no matter what. tested on DM 2.2 v3 wiiflowmod r615

I'll check when I get home from work but I'm sure the version I have is PAL.

Lol, thats not really true, the 480p mode of wiiflow is automatically patched, also in the wiiflow.ini you can control if you want the dm setting none, auto or force, so everything you need.

Its weird man, my PAL version would not boot for blood, sweat or tears or anything, but low and behold the NTSC rip I download works first time strange

I heard the pal rev only works with DM setting "None", therefore open up your wiiflow.ini and change the option "video_setting" in DML section to 0.

OK. Then there is a new version. Im on 590 so try the new version today at the evening...

Ok and also look at the Wii Flow ini then today evening if it has all the needed options of Dios Mios Booter...

 

[FIX94]

r590 havent got DIOS-MIOS 2.1+ compatility, maybe thats why

 

[KiiWii]

I heard the pal rev only works with DM setting "None", therefore open up your wiiflow.ini and change the option "video_setting" in DML section to 0.

I already checked that and it was set to 0.

The PAL version hung black screen just before the "select progressive scan" screen, whereas the NTSC version doesnt hang.

Try with DMbooter or GX r1200 then and see if it works.

Other users have this problem too?
Maybe it's another file access problem, like it was from Luigi's Mansion USA only.
A Gecko log would be great.

Well,I have to ask again...

I cannot boot Animal Crossing PAL using DM 2.2 (latest update)...The game always displays a green screen. The DM compatibility list says that the game is fully playable,so I guess I am doing something wrong. Has anyone managed to play PAL Animal Crossing without problems?

 

[FIX94]

The PAL version is quite funny, because it just contains several copies of the game, each in another language You either extract the game and then the tgc of your language or you play it from the original iso and a disc in drive. I would highly suggest you to just extract the tgc of your language

Ah! Here's the topic, I couldn't find it!

Well I have a problem I even made topic for it!

http://gbatemp.net/topic/331240-dios-mios-not-working-fatal-error/

My DIOS MIOS crashes(see pics in thread) when I want to launch any game which is compatible according to the list. Can anyone help me? The topic contains all the information I have at the moment.

I tried using GC-Tool but I cannot understand how to do it...Can you tell me step by step,please?

I'm 100% sure its working, try DM-booter an set video patching to NONE. And there is no progressive scan screen.
But its also working fine with GX r1200.

As you already did, use GC-Tool to open up the ISO file, you'll see a "tgc" folder, expand it and then right click on the tgc file of your language choice, click extract file and let it extract. Next get tgctogcm from here and drag and drop the tgc file into the tgctogcm.exe, you should get a gcm file with the same name, you can convert it then using the regular tools, you know, discex, gcreex, etc.

Thank you so much!!!!
I have one last question.I did everything you told me but when I drag and drop the tgc file into the tgtogcm.exe, the screen flashes just like it is about to open a DOS window and then nothing happens.Any idea why is this happening?

Hm, may open up a dos window then and enter "tgctogcm filename.tgc filename.gcm", where filename is of course the name of the tgc file.
