Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[WiiUBricker]

Very noob question how do you force widescreen for gc games?

Not a noob question. The 16:9 patch was just recently added (from Dolphin I believe) to homebrew loaders. First was an unofficial version of Swiss, then the official Swiss and then I believe DML. I never tried the patch with DML, but with Swiss it works.

Are cheats supported because I tried using codes for super smash bros melee and it didnt work? The format is the same though right? Put the .gct files in the codes folder?

You put those in the same folder as the game.iso file but that folder AND the .gct file have to be named with just the GameID for the game. E.G. usb1:/games//.gct

My Wii hangs at a black screen when I try to boot the game. I have followed instructions very carefully, what could I be doing wrong?

Anyone had success running Dios Mios with a 1tb Western Digital Elements hdd? I'm considering buying one but want to know if people have gotten it to work with Dios Mios. Mine is too small and can't disable spindown. Any other drives that are working out there?

When I try to play Megaman anniversary collection with the usb loader, I get a white screen with this text on it.

"FATAL: Set your working directory correctly you muppet!!!!"


I'm guessing this is a fake/bad dump? I've downloaded this game twice now from different sites and got the same thing...

Also Megaman X collection is giving me no sound, I load my games through the Dios Mios booter.

I'll try formatting again. I hope the reason isn't because my HDD isn't supported It works for Wii games but I guess it's different for GC games.

DM 2 update 3a at 2 hours ago! Thanks.

I cannot use GameCubeISOcompress to compress Ultimate Muscle, no game folder generated! Anyone else have similar issue? Can share if you have the solution?? TIA

I'm using a WD Elements 1TB Portable USB 3 drive, model WDBPCK0010BBK. It's been working fine for me so far. It's pretty cheap at Staples, too.

Update from 'update 2' to 'update 3a'. Every time open my CG games from wiiflow mod r506 I got code dump! I didn't change anything other than updating/installing 'update 3a' wad thru wad manager in slot 249. What am I doing wrong? Trying to figure things out .....

Could be maybe the loaders need updating again to be compatible with DM.

After updating to 3a, all my games stop loading at the DM splash screen. (On both of my Wii's). Regardless of the loader I use.

Well no matter what I try, DM (update 2) will not work for me on a WD My Passport 1TB (usb2 version). DML worked fine for me and had to go back.
Either get "area! al error app_entry is not within apploader" with disc in, or "Fatal error apploader size is zero" without disc, over the top of the DM screen.
Wii is 4.2E using a Wiikey 1.
Have reloaded BC and clean MIOS then installed DM wad again to no avail.
Confirmed 32k FAT32 Active 1st partition (where games directory is), NTFS second partition. Running from Wiiflow r506.
All games tested are confirmed working games (with DML) converted with GCReEx 2b.
I assume there will be no suggestions as it seems drive compatibility has some way to go, from what I'm reading.
Will be great when it's a bit more stable (and working at all, for some of us!). Thanks for the efforts crediar.

I have this same problem with a WD Elements drive and I think it's cause it spinds down after a certain amount of time causing this issue and error messages at times.....researched and there is no way on this drive to disable the spindown or sleep timer, whatever you call it......my guess is Dios Mios needs some kind of pinger or watchdog to keep drives active for such drives that you can't disable the sleep timer......guess this has been done with wii game usb support just maybe not done with dios mios........think a watchdog has to be added in the cios or loader, or cmios to get this working......someone correct me if wrong....

With the My Passport versions I have (I've got a lot of them) there was a utility released by WD to rectify that because there were so many complaints.
I think this was the link I used...http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-Portable-Drives/WD-My-Passport-spinsdown-coolsdown-sleeps-after-10-seconds/td-p/110316
Hasn't been a problem with Wiiflow since I did that.

I have a WD My Passport as well and get the same errors (although the first error appears when there's no CD in the tray, and the "apploader size is zero" when a disc is inserted).
I am guessing Dios Mios can't properly load ISOs from WD HDD... I installed Melee with DiscEx -c, perhaps uncompressed it might work better.
What set-ups did you try for GC games?

Didn't do too much - just tried the ones which I knew were perfect in DML without tweaking. (Pal games on Pal machine)

DIOS MIOS is working here with WD Elements 1 TB.

WD Elements have a significantly different firmware structure to the WD My Passport series. The My Passports need to be massaged to get rid of the WD bloat and firmware stupidity.

Going to try the DML Booter Hielkenator suggested today along with the 3a version to see if that makes any difference.

I have been absent for three days, what are the updates? Any updates of DM after 2.0? Any updates for USBLoader GX needed after r1191

DM is up to v2.0 update 3
and then there's this

Here is the latest beta, so I don't have any more complain about "the message asking to copy to SD is still here"
USB Loader GX r1193 with DM(L) detection.

but r1191 should do the trick.

Crossposting this as this seems to be the official DML thread...



Has anyone encountered a non responsive gamecube controller problem? This is just in DML as it still works outside DML.


I've tried the controller outside of DML (both using

WiiSX and even through a system menu disc tray boot of the GC disc I'm using [megaman collection]) and it definitely works... but when booting the disc tray game through DML booter, it fails to respond in game.


the game I'm trying to run is Digimon World 4, but I'm not sure that's important considering even the disc tray game doesn't have a responsive controller. I've googled about this and I have only found ONE mention of this kind of problem but it was along with an audio problem and there was absolutely no detail like "audio glitching and no control response"...something like that.


Also when running Digimon, after it loads up the first few logo screens it gives a black screen that never changes, despite the compatability list saying it works (maybe it was someone who only let it run through the title logo's?)

Tried running the r58 version, but it just loads black screen after booting iso...going to retry a recompiled version in a bit, see how that goes....

 

[al5911]

Help needed... I re-install 'update 2' but I still got code dump every time I tried to start GC thru wiiflow mod r506. I feel regret updating to 3a!

How do I fix my DM2?

 

[kirbymaster101]

Are cheats supported because I tried using codes for super smash bros melee and it didnt work? The format is the same though right? Put the .gct files in the codes folder?

You put those in the same folder as the game.iso file but that folder AND the .gct file have to be named with just the GameID for the game. E.G. usb1:/games//.gct

Wow any reason why its in a diffferent location. Whatever as long as it is supported Thank you.

Just tried DM 2.0 3a. Still hasn't fixed the controller issue.

Just read somebody mention the idea of not putting int the controller until AFTER the game was booted. I'm not sure if it was this same problem or with a certain problematic game but I just thought I'd mention it to see if it works at a workaround.
