Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[player594]

I have a question. what does a pink screen mean after DM logo?

 

[SanGor]

Format to 32k cluster size, the math above is BS

Callling BS is easy but can you supply the "correct" math?

 

[tueidj]

Only FAT16 is limited to 65536 clusters, FAT32 supports up to 268,435,455 clusters.

I'm using a 1TB drive formatted to fat32 with 32 cluster size and DM 2.2 works just fine with it.

It's a seagate portable but i have also used a toshiba portable 1tb drive as well with the same configuration and its worked just fine as well.

im using a western digital do i just format the whole thing? does any of you people have a copy of 2.1?
my hard drive is an external harddrive not portable

- The max cluster count is ~2^28 not ~2^16, thats fat16
- The your calculations result would have the unit 1/B, clearly bogus when no unit is expected
- The max size is cluster count * cluster size, sector size has nothing to do with it
- for 32KiB clusters its ~2^28 * 2^15B = ~2^43 or around 8 TiB
- he would have around 2^40B/2^15B = 2^25 clusters, which is well below the 2^28 cluster limit

if i make uneek+dl would it work on the emulated nand?

I formatted my whole drive to fat32 since its the easiest for me since the hard drive is only used for the wii.

Check your PM for your other ?

 

[marck]

thx alot ill see if it works

 

[icebrg5]

What was wrong with 2.2 for you?

Also the current 2.2 thats on the google code page is the third version of 2.2

 

[marck]

yea i downloaded it but im not sure its probably my loaders i updated wiiflow,usb loader gx, and cfg usb loader


what happen when u uninstall dios mios 2.2 ?

 

[icebrg5]

Nothing i would suppose the spot would just be empty.

 

[marck]

can i get the dios mios 2.0 2.1 isnt working

 

[icebrg5]

What's not working about it?

Black screen? Green Screen?

Explain your setup in detail

Like what loader your using ext.. hard drive ext...

It might just be a setting that is off

 

[marck]

all of them are in default

1.usb loader gx not updated to 1193 or somethin cant run it
2.wiiflow mod 615 black screen then turn off
3.dios mios booter black screen that turn off

 

[icebrg5]

What kind of hard drive? Are you sure its formatted to 32K cluster size?


Have you only tried one game or multiple games with same result?

forgive me if this has been asked, as I'm sure it has, but I have a question.

How do I rip all the games off of a multigame disc to my hd? Now, before you ask, yes, I no longer have all the original isos, I made these multigames over a year ago when I had a different computer which was wiped and ultimately became useless about 6 months ago. All my original retail games I traded in not long after verifying that all the games worked. So what can I do?

I tried to rip one of the disc images with imgbrn, but about 30% through it failed, and I assumed this was because of the strange format of a multidisc, but perhaps the disc was too dirty/scratched? (I'll try another one after posting this, and report back on that). And I know that if I were able to get a disc image iso, I could extract each individual game with the MultiGame ISO creator.

A tedious process, but doable, so long as I can actually rip a disc image.

I guess what I'm asking is, I see that the latest cfg usb loader allows for the ripping of the first game on a multidisc to the sd card, but doesn't allow to be ripped to the USB drive. Is there any work being done (For this or any other loader) so you can rip all games on a multigame disc, and then for them to be ripped directly to the usb hard drive?

Thanks for any and all responses. And again, sorry if this has already been asked many times, this is a very big topic.

I know WiiFlow will rip the disk for you and automatically save all the games separately in different folders in DiscEX format BUT I've also been able to do it your way with ImgBrn and separate the ISO's out again and it worked fine for me. I'd say you're probably right about it just being too scratched or dirty. WiiFlow can be set to skip bad reads which may help you get more out of the damaged disk but you still might end up with damaged disk images (better damaged than nothing perhaps?) and depending on where that damage is, it may or may not still play the games. You'd just have to see.

icebrg5 i used kirby air ride only one i use and it doesnt work

 

[duffmmann]

Thanks for the above response, I also just found an unofficial build on the cfg usb loader google code page that resolved the issue of not ripping to the hd, and I'm ripping my first multigame disc to my hd as we speak. Nearly done with first game, will let you know if it moves to the next game or only stops after the first, I've got a good feeling it will take care of it, but if not, I'll just move to wiiflow (for the ripping, probably stick with cfg for the loading).
