This is a brilliant and great relase!

Tried several PAL Games:
Wind Waker PAL-G -> working
FInal Fantasy Crystal Chronicles PAL-G -> working
1080 Avalanche PAL-G -> Black Screen after DIOS MIOS Logo
Mario Party 5 PAL-G -> working
Mario Kart Double Dash PAL-G -> working
F-Zero GX PAL-G -> After CUP Selection (e.g. Ruby) black screen occurs
Super Mario Sunshine PAL-G -> working

All games are not compressed.
I used cleanrip to get the files.
I will backup all my games (about 50) and will update concerning the compatiblity.

Smartware doesn't seem to work for me. I think my Passport drive is an older model so it's incompatible.

This worked for me http://support.wdc.c...sid=154&lang=en with a wdc drive in a generic caddy.

If that doesn't work, then this might. http://support.wdc.c...sid=113&lang=en Although you have to have the drive connected to an internal SATA connector and use a dos boot disk
"Drive update not applicable", it says. The 2nd option looks like a hassle so I won't bother :\

Just fyi It says 80h in CrystalDiscInfo under APM settings, which means my drive shouldn't have any idling issues.

Does crediar plan to eventually implement proper audio streaming?

i think he has stated that it can't happen due to hardware issues, think he stated something in the wii's would have to be soldered to actually make it work. then again looking at how he achieved the impossible actually getting a wii to run gc games from a usd hdd you never can tell what could happen, many said various things usb loaders on the wii would never do certain things and here we are today with almost pefect (i think anyway) compatibility

Hey guys i was able to find a fix for those of you who have problems mounting a 1TB HDD or higher or for those who get a black screen and no splash screen from dios mios 2.0.
It seems that Dios mios only works if your HDD is 1st primary partition, so for those people who had their HDD formatted in to 2 partitions or more and had their games on the second partition like me where out of luck with out reformatting the HDD and transferring back and forth which can be a Hassle and time consumption. The fix its simple.

Everything is done without loosing any DATA :D

1. Download This (Its a utility for managing HDD Partitions)
2. Install it and run it.

Now we have to make the second partition of our HDD which it has our games the 1st and primary cause otherwise Dios Mios doesn't work, and we have to make our 1st partion which for my case is a NTFS drive a Logical partition.

3. On the program you will see you HDD, rightclick on the FAT32 Partition where you have you games, go to Advance, click on convert to primary, click ok then click apply on the top lefthandside then ok.
4. Do the same as step 3 but this time click on set active partition.
5. Now right click on the 1st partition the NTFS on my case, go to advance, click on convert to logical, click ok then apply.

If you have more partions make sure to do the same asthe step 5. There should only be one active Primiray partition and that should be the Parttition where you have all of you games, the rest of the partitions should be all Logical.

Go on to DM Booter, Wiiflow or GX to try it out hope it helped, because for me it did

Will games with DOL's like Zelda: CE and Sonic Gems Collection ever work with NoDisc Patching? Every time I load a game, it just goes straight back to the Wii Menu.

Audio Streaming does not require soldering. It works on swiss with no soldering required. Just Swiss and an SD Gecko or IDE. I could understand if it was just kinda a pain in the ass to figure out how to get working perfect or at all, even swiss doesnt have it perfect, but still has it. But there is no soldering involved in getting audio streaming working.

Cheers mate,I'd nearly givin up getting this to work with my HDD,making the 1st partition primary has done the trick,btw I used configurable usb loader and super mario sunshine to test it and its working fine...now I just have to find where I put all those gamecube discs!

Tell me again how I'm using audio streaming with Swiss to play Star Fox Adventures, then... Seing as how for some reason the subtitles are tied into audio streaming, and audio streaming has to work for the subtitles to show up when they're supposed to

@Zero Aurion, i got audio (music and sounds) and subs too with DM, the only thing that is missing are voices...

Maybe that is the only thing that is audio streamed in Starfox adventures.

@greennw308, if you are implying DiosMios can read SD cards, you are wrong.

No problem it took me 2 days to figure it out

And lets not forget the fact that music and voices wont work at all on Star Fox Adventures without working audio streaming. I can hear music and voices perfect with Swiss. When I played SFA on DM/DML, all I got was silence, with mis-timed subtitles.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
