Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[FIX94]

When using NMM option it's saving to USB too?
I guess only one device is available at a time.

Yea it saves to USB too, for me the NMM compatility is shit btw, only got one game to work yet

Could DM and DML fuse together in the future? for example switching from DM or DML code internally depending on the game's location.
or is there also a limitation of the MIOS size?

Well theres no reachable limit of the MIOS I suppose, just look how much size just that bg pic takes.

So, I installed the Wad file, loaded CFG USB Loader and loaded a game, but it locked up. The funny thing is that the program "saw" the gamecube ISOs on my FAT32 USB HDD. Tried USB Loader GX and that didn't list the gamecube games on USB:\games\GameID\.game.iso. WTF?

Do I need to uninstall the DML 1.4 once I install the DM2.0 wad, or are there updated USB loader apps I need to use?

Where have you put your iso files?

fat32 partition root/games/
And inside that is the title folder and its contents.

Yeah thats right. Just hit the plus button and it should show them. Try USB Loader GX http://www.mediafire...b545893im623q25 that can see and run the games I have. The ones on my drive I ran through DiscEx. Perhaps try dumping from a loader

Yea, nothing shows up, besides the boot from disc option. And I ran mine through DiscEx. So I guess I'll download USB Loader GX 3.0?

That shouldnt happen, the chance something corrupts is the same as with every other program. Oh and the iso files need to have the name game.iso, the folder name doesnt matter.

Yeah, i know about the iso files.
But srsly., i'm f*cking scared, i really don't want to loose my data. Is totally sure to play? Give me a definitive answer.

I'll be waiting a bit to try this out, but great to see everything in order --- thanks!

Also... I think the thread should be renamed --- at current it simply looks like a DML thread, so I was a bit confused when one of Fix's posts said to take a look at the stickies. 'Dios Mios & Lite' or anything else that notes a distinction would be less confusing, IMO.

The one in the link I posted has support for DM. It may just be your drive is not compatible...

Yes goddamnit

BTW I just made some loading speed test video, and its awesome fast:

Looks like people are too busy to answer my questions. Why doesn't USB Loader or CFG USB Loader recognize, much less load the games via DM2.0? My USB HDD is formatted as FAT32....

HELP!

 

[Excelsiior]

CFG is not yet updated (remember DM is just release a few hours ago!).

USB Loader GX needs the GC Games Path set to USB hdd.

Yea, tried that and cfg usb laoder. what a damn shame, guess it isn't compatible.

Could DM and DML fuse together in the future? for example switching from DM or DML code internally depending on the game's location.
or is there also a limitation of the MIOS size?

didn't tuedji mention something about this in one of Devolution threads?

 

[the_randomizer]

Can't find the USB directory settings (or where to tell the program to look). I probably need the updated version, which would explain why it's not working, right?

The main issue with DM+DML isn't the size allocated in MIOS. It's the fact that DM has to run exclusively within the ARM CPU's 96 KB RAM. Usually, IOS has part of MEM2 reserved, but that isn't possible in GameCube mode.

The 96 KB RAM is allocated as follows in DIOS MIOS:
- 0xFFFE0000: stack (16 KB)
- 0xFFFE4000: heap (16 KB)
- 0xFFFF0000: program, data, static variables (64 KB)

The 32 KB area at 0xFFFE8000 is a "hole"; that is, it isn't mapped to anything.

With only 64 KB of program code, integrating both SD and USB support is nearly impossible. One alternate option could be having a basic 'stub' loader in MIOS that loads the actual DIOS MIOS (Lite) program from SD, which would allow for switching at runtime.

 

[Excelsiior]

It's in loader settings. And of course you need the new version, why should a weeks old version work with something a few hours old?

 

[the_randomizer]

Well that explains a lot, but if my internet connection didn't suck balls, I would have the updated version by now (using the download feature via the program itself). I don't see why a Western Digital HDD wouldn't work with it.

Well I'm using WD too, and not having any luck.

Though I wonder if I migrate everything over and just have one FAT32 partition, would that help?

I was merely hoping that it will work once, I updated USB Loader GX.

 

[RiPPn]

Not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but

USB Loader GX r1191 is not showing any of my GameCube isos. I put them in usb1:/games/, installed dios mios 2.0, and set the "Main GameCube Path to usb1:/games/.

I'm using scene isos, do I need to have USB Loader GX rip to iso from my original disk?

I renamed the game.iso ie: Paper Mario.iso

Any help would be appreciated.

I finally got it working, but I just wish the detection was a lot quicker though.

You're not supposed to rename the ISO, as that's always going to be named "game.iso" under a folder with the Game ID. The need to be converted to the right format.
