Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[sonictopfan]

Great!

Just tested the modified version, Need For Speed worked fine, Billy Hatcher worked fine, Mega Man X Command Mission seems to work fine, Super Smash Bros Melee, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart Double Dash, all worked fine, swap disk works too!

It's a shame we can't share these fixed builds in public instead of the buggy one in the official page, <snip>!

hmm still no luck

i did everything correctly so far though right? installing DM, formatting usb, putting the game in the correct folder with the right name.

i wonder why this isnt working

try installing a clean BC v6 and see if it helps

sAfter 2.6 version Need for speed most wanted crashes at the "press start" screen(right after all intros). 1.5 version does not has problems. Where do we report bugs officially?

Does anybody have acces to older builds of DM?

Here's a link to DM 2.3:

Could any body check if the games that are in my Winnertag sig are working?
They load fine but also hang upon starting the actual gameplay...

Problem games are: SRS, Xtreme G 3, XtremeG racing league, Driven. Also GUN

Here's an example of what you need to do.

games/folder name [game id]/game.iso

I will be very grateful if somebody can pm me with a link to this fixed version. Thanks!

OH really? That's cool. If I understood correctly we just replaced the patches.c or something like that from a previous version and recompile
... so anyone remember which version I have to take it from? v2.5? v2.4?

I'd kinda like to recompile a version like this and just post it WITH code included with a message saying something like "frankenbuild, use at your own risk" and hope that does the trick.

EDIT : okay, I found my answer again

now I have to find the time to try this out.

If this version mod works better, why don't do it?
Great!

because the user took it personally when we removed link because he didn't provide asked sources.
As a result he decided to not provide it on gbatemp anymore, instead of going legal.

 

[actar]

No no, that, man that wasn't a critics to you or someone else.
I things that's only a good thing that a program can be edited and make better: for that I say "If this version mod works better, why don't do it?"
But always with source-code obviously.

That is my general opinion about every program (not only DM).

 

[Doctor Qwerty]

With DM 2.8, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles will crash every time you attempt to touch magicite while editing your command list.
Is this a setting on my end I need to adjust or just a buggy interaction with the game in question? I can play several others just fine, so I know my HDD is supported.

^This.
It's a shame really, I don't know why he refuses to do it, it will give him the credit he deserves especially after Crediar abandoning the project (sort of) his mods are just amazing!

I too would like to know if games like GUN, EoN, XGRA work now.
Personally i'm still rocking DM v2.0u5 and i have 120 GC games (30 of those with Devolution) and those 3 (along with Ikaruga music) are the only significant ones not working yet.

SRS is supposed to be working, but I haven't bothered redumping this game yet.
As for the other games, No not working yet. If they do not work in older versions of DM, do not expect a fix anytime soon.

Because he's said so himself that all efforts go to Crediar. It's slight changes in patches.c AFAIK that are merged from older versions of DM. Not revolutionary, but fixes are always welcome and very much appreciated. And what the helk r u talkin' about? Crediar and team haven't abandoned this project. They're even working on enhancing the compatibility of NMM.

 

[Maxternal]

Quick question for those having problems with certain games on recent builds (including those issues FIXED by the mod versions)
What version broke it for you? (first version that didn't work) Was it v2.6 or v2.5 ????

 

[sonictopfan]

@Maxternal for me it was 2.6, it broke Billy Hatcher and Mega Man X Command Mission!

 

[nakata6790]

Street Racing Syndicate works for me but no music (DM 2.0u5)

It doesn't matter who wrote the original code, Crediar broke games that were working before and never cared to get them fixed again, wither he neglected them in purpose or they were broken in favor to fix other stuff is beyond me but this doesn't change the fact he didn't react on fixing them even though according to what you said is a very simple fix, which btw not all of us can do that stuff, I know I can't and I'm sure most DM(L) users can't compile and swap patches.

Crediar maybe a great programmer but his manners and personality aren't so great imho, I respect his work nonetheless, but he rarely responds to any comments, he never takes bug reports seriously and just assumes you're doing something wrong without even trying the reported games, I tried to report many times games like Looney Tunes Back in Action, Namco Museum, and Pac-Man World Rally for audio streaming issues, Virtua Striker 3 for not working while compressed (not sure if it's been fixed, last I checked was with DML 1.5 then stuck with the uncompressed version) but he never took them seriously or let anyone add to the compatibility list.

People have reported that SD compatibility broke with DML 1.0 while it worked fine in older versions, he totally neglected that and gave them the middle finger, they reported USB compatibility being broken, he didn't care, they reported sleep mode issues, took him a long time to fix and even then he didn't provide a proper fix, it only fixed SOME hard drives, then came airline38 and provided the proper fix for sleep mode, he tolerated me and asked me for testing one version after the other until it worked.

Crediar then made a mod of DML to run TriForce games, he totally kept it a secret and didn't share it with anyone, which is totally his right I'm not saying otherwise, then when it was leaked he punished those who did nothing wrong and released an early build and said (THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GETTING, BITCHES) a short time after he released a couple of videos showing progress of Quadforce running more games and having save feature and USB support, saying he's never to release them in public, what's the point of showing them off if you're not planning on sharing them? That was a d*ck move if you ask me!

airline38 cares for bug reports, he tries to help and support the project the way he can, Crediar doesn't, this makes me respect airline38's work more and respect him as a guy in general, if I'm to donate for one of them I'd choose airline38 because while Crediar may have wrote the original codes it doesn't help if he broke them later on or didn't care to share fixes!

And what the helk r u talkin' about? Crediar and team haven't abandoned this project. They're even working on enhancing the compatibility of NMM.

Well last I heard they said he backed his Wii again and said he's moved to a different project, I really hope they'd enhance NMM compatibility because I'm thinking to switch on using it with games with bigger save files that I don't intend to keep after I beat the game, well that and it maybe a good start for DM(U)!
