Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[CheatFreak47]

All I know is Crediar is persistent as hell when it comes to his hacking efforts. It shouldn't be too long before he gets back to it based on what we've seen. He is just taking a break, and in my opinion-- a well deserved one.

has anyone gotten any of the resident evil games to switch iso's? like from disc 1 to disc 2?

Edit by Cyan:
He meant Resident Evil Zero (other are reported as working)

Dios Mios may not be perfect, but it sounds like the games it has trouble loading aren't that great in the first place.

I agree fully with you. Crediars work is absolutely amazing. Just two years ago, I remember being laughed at when I mentioned USB-loading for GC-games. And I was told that the mechanics made it totally impossible. Crediar proved them all wrong, and he´s taking a well deserved good break. Although, I truly hope that DM will be continued and tweaked in 2013.

^This.

That's your opinion, I myself would love to be able to play Kao The Kangaroo Round 2!

I reported earlier I tested Resident Evil Code Veronica, the only RE game I need on GC that has 2disc support and it switched fine from disc1 to disc2 and vice versa!

Neogamma isn't needed, you can use the codes on any loader you prefer.

Dolphin is emulating everything, the CPU AND the SPU
DIOS MIOS is only a MIOS and doesn't replace/emulate any SPU functions (which is a hardware chipset, not a software you can replace like MIOS). The hardware part is still done by the Wii itself.


Not all games have a progressive setting.
The Progressive Patch force the game to stay in 480p, even if it was designed for 576i
The games that already support 480p can have problems if you use the "Force Progressive" atop of it.

For the widescreen hack, I think you mixed the two screenshot/videos origin. There were two different hack, the old one included in dolphin which DM has, and the new one in Dolphin only.
The widescreen hack in DM is stretching the menus/HUD (link's head is at the edge of the picture)
The new widescreen hack (not in DM yet) is not stretching them (it's on Dolphin not DM)
I used your own links.

When I play using DIOS MIOS, it is NOT stretching the HUD though! Thanks for the description on the progressive patch!

I've tested Baten Kaitos (PAL), I loaded disc2 and started a new game, it switched to disc1 correctly.

I updated to 2.6 to get disc2 (Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings - NTSC) working but now nmm does not work.

My loader is cfg v70r50
EDIT: Also tried r37

 

[lonewolf89]

ALL the 2 disc games i have (metal gear solid,both baiten kaitos) work fine but when it comes to certain games like kirby's air ride and all "ported" resident evil games...well lets just say there kinda iffy..in usb loader gx i gotta start em like 3 times for them 2 work(the 1st and 2nd time I launch i either get app loader is zero or my wii shuts off) VERY STRANGE...this happen to anyone else?

 

[sonictopfan]

Never happened to me!

 

[luke9511]

i was having issues with the rips i made of re4 so i got the iso's from a online source and now the game works perfectly and now im getting re zero to se if my rips are the reason why they are not switching

I usually get a black screen or the game doesn't load first time on 2.6. I was using 2.2.2 before hand and it was working fine.

 

[luke9511]

i have not had any issues with the games i have loading they always load on the first try, also i ave tried resident evil zero and it will not switch discs but if anyone else has it and can firm for me if it does not work with them please let me know thanks!

EDIT forgot to add star wars rebel strike and rogue leader do not work with NMM

 

[elconejotres]

Yeah same here black screens, shut offs, several tries to boot one disc games, etc. changed to 2.3 and all worked fine again what a shame the disc change broke other things.

With DM 2.6 I have only had problem with running Final Fantasy Chronicles wich supposedly runs with the older revisions.
Otherwise I´ve had no problems running Dios Mios 2.6 with the Gamecube-partition FAT 32 formatted with 32 kb clusters, and the partition set to active/primary (IMPORTANT).

Although, I think that these recent reports is a signal that more development is needed for Dios Mios, and that this information reaches the developer. More testing is needed, and it´s up to us users to report the issues we run into.

I don't have my DM partition set as active/primary and it works fine. I am wondering why this myth keeps getting perpetuated here. The active flag is not used by DM at all, and has absolutely no use on anything other than PCs.

What might be important is having the DM partition as the first partition in the table. The FAT32 library is supposed to check for multiple partitions, but it seems it gets hung up if the first partition isn't FAT32.

tales of symphonia (EUR) is broken in 2.6 as well. (instant black screen) strangely the force 480p mode makes it work, but the game is seriously muddied with this as it results in some weird artifacts on the screen over the top of the gameplay (these artifacts were present with the last DML release)

tbh if its got to the point where Crediar wants donations for updates (which is perfectly within his right to do), someone else needs to step up as maintainer for the project, and its kind of a hint from him that he no longer derives enjoyment from working on DML.

from what i can see, there are several major bugs present in 2.6:
- Official 480p gamecube games no longer display natively in 480p (ie. you have to use the force 480p patch)
- enabling pad hook causes instant black screen for every GC game. (i guess this is because the screenshot function added in 2.6)
- the problem with tales mentioned above

i am tempted to think all these are purely down to the screenshot function, as that would have tampered with the video stuff. if crediar submitted separate commits for the multiple new features added in 2.6, then the commit that introduced screenshot (and if i am right the massive bugs) could be unapplied from the source, and 2.6 could be recompiled without screenshot feature hopefully solving the main problems. if video stuff was tampered with outside that commit, it could be a problem however

tbh the screenshot function is totally useless to me and most users and seems like something added to compete with Devolution
