Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[donovan6000]

Can someone verify that Star Wars: The Clone Wars freezes at the loading screen with dios mios? It's the only game I've tested so far that works fine with dml but not with dm.

try with your loader on default settings and with a disc in the drive .

New GCReEx-v0.3

Changelog:

3.0:
- fixed a "bug" which would crash systems that didn't have 1GB RAM free (beyond good and evil)
GCReEX now uses a 2MB copy buffer for files over 32MB in size
- GCReEX now extracts all files in order of the FST which might decrease seek time when extracted to an unfragmented drive
- added two disc support, both games are now extracted into the same folder

So now multi-disk games work on DIOS MIOS?!

I don´t think so.

They only work if the game prompts you to save before the disc swap. Otherwise, no.

I think it's saying it supports extracting two disc games into one folder, maybe for future updates from loaders / DM.

On that note, I've seen cases with other systems (PS2 Xenosaga for example) where someone had managed to convert a two disc DVD5 game into a one disc DVD9 game. obviously the GC doesnt use the same filesystem, but it might be worth looking into doing with two disc games

Anyone have a save of Resident Evil Zero at the very end of disc 1? In other words to the point that I can start disc 2. Thanks. Googled and can't seem to find one.

Your SM shouldn't matter, nor the IOS's that you have.

Then why isn't DIOS MIOS working properly? Dios Mios Lite worked just fine. Even using Update 5 my discs still can't launch.

I read something about using 2 SD cards to run multi-disk games, is it true?

I don't know, but it doesn't have anything to do with your SM or IOS's. They aren't accessed.

Neither NMM nor cheats are supported with retail discs.

They should work if you launch the disc from a loader. From the disc channel they will default to off.

I can verify this. I'm almost certain that it worked on update 3. I hadn't tested it since cause I just assumed that it was fixed, but on update 5 it will not pass the loading screen. So it is broken in updates 1,2, and 5, and worked in 3. (Never tried it on 4).

no, and thats preposterous


Can anyone confirm getting anything other than a black screen with Custom Robo? I'm re ripping to a 1:1, but currently it wont get to the DM boot screen shrunken.

I still can't get Dios Mios 2.0 to load from my Seagate Free Agent Go 320gb. I've reformatted in fat32 with 32kb cluster size. I was able to get this to load from a 16gb flash drive. Does anyone know how to get this to work or am I just going to have to wait for an update? Yes the fat32 is primary and active.

I tried out a 1Tb segate freeagent usb 3.0 drive yesterday with DM and it fails to even load the DM screen and i know everything was properly setup because one i transferred everything off the seagate to another drive(toshiba 1TB) it worked just fine.

Looks like DM does not like seagate drives.

Dm works fine on my Seagate - FreeAgent GoFlex 500GB External USB 2.0/3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black
Model: STAA500105

What program did you use to format it to 32k ?

I actually didn't use any programs, it was already formatted to fat32 32k when I took it out of the package.
But for my friends I used wii back up manager to format from wbfs to fat32 32k.

Did your drive have the 2.0 or 3.0 adapter piece?

I'll try out the drive formatting it with wii backup manager and see what it does. Doubt it does anything different but we shall see.


Also i've never seen or heard of any drive being formatted to fat32 out of the box. That's a first for me i guess.

Yeah it's the 2.0/3.0 Adapter that comes in the box its worth a shot, I know I was checking the clusters and I was quite happy that I didn't have to format it or change anything.
I hope it works for you

Well after giving up and then trying again I managed to get my 320gb seagate drive to work. I was able to get my 16gb flash drive to work and I couldn't figure out how I was able to do that, so i remember how I formatted it. I was originally using the 16gb for loading ps2 games with free mcboot and opl 8. I remember the website for opl 8 had a step by step formatting process because that flash drive also needed to be in fat32. So I went back to that website and followed the steps on the site.

The program wouldn't let me format my seagate. So then I put both my flash drive and my seagate drive in my computer and compared them with each other EasUS partition manager. The flash drive was MBR and the seagate was GPT. So I changed the seagate to MBR and then put a game on it and I nearly crapped myself when i saw the DIOS MIOS logo.

Works no problem for me .(1:1 dump+DM v2.0+CFG mod r37 beta3 or GX r1193 mod2)

I also confirm that it works.. I shrunk the iso and yeah.. just started grand battle mode

So now multi-disk games work on DIOS MIOS?!

I don´t think so.

They only work if the game prompts you to save before the disc swap. Otherwise, no.

I can confirm both TMNT 2 and TMNT 3 work fine and they're both multi disk games, only problem is if you try to load a level that is on another disk the game freezes and gives you the "error cannot read disk" message but if that happens know this means you need to load this level from the other disk, otherwise both games work fine and I managed to beat them!

I'll point out to a flow in USB Loader GX which I hope gets fixed, if you have both disk 1 and disk 2 of a game and boot disk 2 it will always boot disk 1, apparently the loader only reads the first 6 letters of a game code instead of the irst 7, causing the loader to always load the first one it detects, DML loader seems to surpass that and run the particular file you choose but in USB Loader GX you always need to have EITHER one of the disks not both in order to work, dunno if changing the Game ID can get it to work or not and quite frankly I'm not gonna try it but if anyone did and can confirm it working fine then I will!

Another issue, can anyone get Spider-Man The Movie to work? I still get a black screen everytime I run this game and I have tried many copies, same goes for both Phantasy Star games but that's obvious!

Finally I will list the games I have tested and can confirm that they only work if not compressed, those are Virtua Striker 2002, Batman Dark Tomorrow, and Mario Golf!

Got the same problem, but it was solved, then when an update came. Not sure which one was... Later I will try with the latest update...

It works for me, on DM2.0.4 but you need a disk in the drive.

Oh I believe I tried having a disk inside but I'm not sure, I'll try again!
