Well did some testing, and the games that i have work with Update2.
Games that stoped working.
Rogue Leader works with update2 but none of the updates3 work.
Terminator 3 works with update2 till update 3a, update3c and 3d dont work.
I not tested 3b becouse i dont have it :/
 
Ntsc games are great if you have component cables.Most games have progressive scan natively.
Best way to enjoy Gamecube I think.

Seems that some PAL games work and some NTSC versions of the same game don't and vice versa.
I still prefer ntsc. It's a pity my own games ( a lot! ) are PAL....
Hopefully the force pal 2 480p hack can be implemented better for all games.
 
Alright, I've got an issue,
I've updated to the most recent Dios Mios Wad (Uninstalled the old and reinstalled the new just fine) I'm running through the Dios Mios Loader and using No-Disk, Everything else in the options is still default. I must use the No-Disk patch or games will not load at all because my drive is damaged. I've tested everything I can from both SD and USB. The only game I can get to load and play is Luigi's Mansion. All of the games I have will load, but almost all of them have the locked controller issue. Luigi's Mansion works perfectly, Pokemon Colosseum crashes upon hitting start on the start screen (and occasionally before reaching the start screen) Pokemon XD, LoZ WindWaker, and Super Mario Sunshine all have locked controllers no matter what settings I change. All iso's are compressed, I haven't tried the decompressed iso's yet. (I hadn't tried because the compatibility list claims these games work with compressed iso's) assuming the decompressed iso's also fail, what would you suggest I do to fix the issue of the controller not working?

Sorry that was so long winded, I wanted to be sure I didn't leave out any important details. Any suggestions would be great.
 
In version 3d, Luigi's Mansion crashes as the Nintendo logo at the very start is fading out. It worked in 3c. Anyone else experiencing this?

When I upgraded, I uninstalled DM 3c, and installed BC v6 and MIOS v10 wads from NUS Downloader, before finally installing DM 3d from the DM page. Is there anything wrong with that upgrade path?

Other games are working, though I've not tried too many yet.

Edit: Luigi's Mansion is in FST (gcreex -x). I'll try the DiscEx later and report back.

Just install it over the top of the old one.

I'll give that a go and see if it clears up the Luigi's Mansion problem. Presumably since some games work my BC install is okay?

I would try another controller if that's possible. Are you using an official nintendo gamecube controller or is it a 3rd party controller? I've heard of a few people having issues with the controllers locking up and not working but no one ever said if they were official or 3rd party controllers. Maybe that makes a difference or maybe not just a thought i had really.

I haven't tried update 3d yet but for update 3c all the games you mentioned work fine for me except Pokemon Xd because i do not have that one. All mine are in discEx format compressed.

I plan on trying out the DM 3d update tonight i will let you know if luigis mansion works for me or not.


 
Just tried PAL version of Luigis Mansion with 3d and works fine in Wiiflow with no disc and NMM enabled.




Forgot how much I like this game....must put it down things to do....must resist...

I just tested Luigi's Mansion, and I have this error on my USBGecko when it's freezing on the Nintendo logo, just after the "Nintendo" voice:

Code:
DVDConvertEntrynumToPath(possibly DVDOpen or DVDChangeDir or DVDOpenDir): specified directory or file (/AudioRes/Banks/LuiSec0_0.aw) doesn't match standard 8.3 format. 
This is a temporary restriction and will be removed soon in "dvdfs.c" on line 373.

I'm on 3D and most games are working fine:
Melee, Double Dash, RE4 1&2 (Crash on new game for disc 2 though), Zelda Collectors Edition, Sunshine, and Simpsons Hit and Run
As far as options though I haven't changed anything from the defaults, all games are uncompressed, no save routing, etc. However I've run into a problem with Need for Speed Underground and Gun, both load to the Nintendo screen, try to access the disk and then black screen. Ive tried to disable disc in settings but it trys to read regardless (with or w.o a disc in the drive), this is in both the DM Booter and USB Loader Gx. Anyone else having problems with either game?

Thanks to both of you for your feedback. So it sounds like maybe just a few simple filename differences make the PAL version work and the NTSC version crash.

I also tried Luigi's Mansion in DiscEX format. It crashes the same.
 
Does anyone know the button combo for soft reset/power off on Dios Mios or was it removed?

Reset = R+Z+Start
Shutdown = R+Z+B+dpad down

Thank you very much, also Naruto GNT4 in Disc Ex format has no music but works with me using Cgf loader. I wish it had music though :(
 
Sorry that was hard reset, soft reset = Start+B+X

I believe Naruto GNT4 uses audio streaming so you won't get music unless you use the original disc or devolution (when it's released).

Hopefully the force pal 2 480p hack can be implemented better for all games.

using DML2.0-3d
Rogue leader PAL works with usb loader gx, forced interlace.
Rebel strike PAL works with cfg loader, standard settings but not with usb loader gx ( green screen )
Prince of persia Warior within PAL works with force interlace usbl gx. ntsc version does not work.
luigi's mansion ntsc hangs on nintendo logo
Gun PAL and ntsc hangs on licenced by nintendo
def jam fight for new york hangs on loading logo.

I would be great if all loaders would behave the same....
