I have a somewhat unique problem, I think.
DIOS MIOS works. Sometimes. I want it to work all the time.
I use Wiiflow and problems such as a black screen, APPLOADER, or a reboot can all occur without any changes to anything.
It's not unique, and the problem is your HDD initialization.
black screen before the splash screen means DM couldn't find/mount your partition.
black screen after the splash screen means wrong video mode (if you forced one, don't, and let DML Autodetect best mode, disable Progressive Patch)
Apploader error means few things, but most of the time it's because it couldn't find the ISO, or the ISO is bad. check your settings, your partition, filename, md5, etc.
Wii Shutdown means DM encountered a problem and crashed. (often when the HDD didn't mount properly)
Wii reboots ... that one usually doesn't happen. it reboots on game launching or while playing?

The reboot occurs without the splash. When hitting play, the Wii goes back to the initial health and safety page, without a splash or the game loading.
I've switched to USB Loader GX and DIOS MIOS 2.6, and I can say that you may be right. A game will load one time, then turn the Wii off a second time, then load the third time, so my USB must be spotty.
 
I've been going back and forth between DM 2.10 and MIOSv10 (certain game kept hanging) and now it keeps booting to the disc in the drive with DM 2.10. I've had it working before, with no other changes made, so I'm totally confused.

Edit: Never mind, seems that the renaming of the folders to "whatever [GAMEID]" only worked the one time. Strange...

you might try rebuilding your mbr if your still having problems
 
yup, looks like it's only me and kazoWAR having problems here.
There was also a mirror that tuedij had for these. Anyone know if that's still maintained and what it is?

and KazoWAR could always use a proxy to get the uploaded.to address and then download it that way. :)
 
I am having a problem. I had Dios Mios installed and working great in USB loader GX. I decided to make my Wii auto boot into the loader as it is for my kids and I needed it to be as easy as possible for them to access games. The problem is when it auto boots into USB loader gx the loader does not see dios mios, it just keeps saying I need to install dios mios, I also do not see it in credits. But when I load usb loader gx from HB Channel or Wii Dash forwarder channel it works and sees dios mios fine in credits as well.

Anyone here know how I can get this working. I have been messing with this for a long time now and my son wants his Wii back.
 
Sounds like the version of USB Loader GX that you're autobooting isn't the same as the one you're launching from the Homebrew Channel.
 
So i downloaded this pal game and i get this when i extract the rar "gamename.file" its sonic riders multi 6 and i dont know how to make it a iso so i can compress it

That's an odd file extension to end up with, and it might just be a misnamed ISO. I kinda doubt this is the right discussion for image conversion issues though.
 
you need to rename the file to "Game.iso" (if it's really a game ISO), it could have been a fake file.

For USBLoaderGX which can't detect DIOS MIOS, it's because you boot directly into the the loader from priiloader. Priiloader doesn't have AHB access so it can't provide access to NAND to USBGX.
What you need to do is boot the forwarder not the loader.
Look into the "all-in-one package" on googlecode, inside the /wad/ folder there's a "forwarder.dol".
This is the file you need to install in your priiloader, or if priiloader let you launch an installed channel select UNEO (the loader's forwarder channel, this one has AHB PROTection disabled).

I could be wrong but it seems to me you have two versions of USB Loader GX, probably one as .dol and the other as a standalone channel and the one that auto loads when the Wii starts up is the channel which if I'm not mistaken still doesn't recognize Dios Mios (Lite) for some odd reason, Cyan is better to clarify your problem though but it won't hurt to check for that.
