Hacking DIOS MIOS (Lite)

[MassiveRican]

So once fix94 got Audo Streaming going then Crediar said fuck it I'm doo it lol. Anyways amazing either way, very happy to see DM still getting improved. It's near perfect compatibility once it's released.

Finally Dios Mios is complete!

Not really, but probably as complete as it will ever be. There are some games that are incompatible for various reasons, and some of the compatible ones have issues. For example, GBA connectivity isn't 100% supported - in one game, it works for one thing but doesn't work for another. BK:EW has memory card issues, which is rather annoying since I play from a real one...

And multi-dol games require a disc to be inserted, along with some less important but annoying things like: it always forces 480p on the splash screen, the disc drive always makes the disc init sucking sound, reset button doesn't work, power button doesn't work, etc.

Still glad to see another program that has audio streaming implemented I believe the release will be in the near future, I THINK.

I HATE that. So much.

As you mentioned all those things are minor annoyances compared to the compatibility and stability that DM has. A disc being required in the drive being one of the most minor ones. Never bothers me I usually have a disc in there anyway. Other than MC problems and the few games that need special patches everything else I can live with. I rather have no power button or reset button and have my games run without random crashes, crashes after videos play, graphical glitches and controller bugs like random desync and input problems.

These are things that DM does not suffer from since it's running natively in GC mode. I believe that NDont will eventually fix most if not all these issues, but for the time being DM remains my main GC Loader followed by Devo for PSO. Since NDont and DM now both support Audio Streaming games I no longer have to depend on Devo for those games.

And the cool thing is both Nintendont and DM can be used in tandem to compliment each other

Some games actually randomly crash in DM and work fine in Nintendont, a couple of good examples are Megaman X Command Mission and The Simpsons Road Rage!

So games like Wave Race Blue Storm will have music now? Any idea when this version will be released and will the compatibility list be updated with the games that now work perfectly?

Since it uses audio streaming, yes, it should work fine, no one knows when he will release this version however, but it should work fine. Failing that, Nintendont will work with the game just fine

Can I simply install Nintendont on the SD card on the Wii like any other app without affecting the Mios? I have Wiiflow, can I choose certain games to boot via DIOS MIOS and others via Nintendont (i.e. Wave Race Blue Storm)?

Nintendont doesn't replace the GameCube Mios like DM does, so you could easily use both. And I use USB Loader GX, so I don't know about Wiiflow, but USB Loader GX allows you to change settings per game if you'd like.

That I didn't know, because for some games, like Burnout 2 I can use Dios Mios to get music until it's fixed in Nintendont.

 

[Charco]

I guess I will just have to try it out.

Yes you can change what app to use for EACH game in Wiiflow. Being it Nintendont, DM or Devo.

 

[Charco]

Ok I installed Nintendont and Wave Race works with music! Cheers guys.

When I launch the game you have to choose SD or USB and scroll through your game list, isn't there a way of just making it boot automatically?

Does Splinter Cell Chaos Theory work with Nintendont? I hadn't added it as it was marked not working on the DM compatibility list.

 

[Etheboss]

You can set it to autoboot if you use a usbloader with nintendont, like wiiflow or usbloader GX.
Could be, you should look it up in the Nintendont compatibility list.
Any way, if you got more questions about nintendont, you should go ask this in the nintendont thread

 

[zerowalker]

How does StarFox Adventures fair?

As Nintendont have delayed subtitles (though i am pretty sure Dios Mios also had/has this?).
Would be nice if Dios Mios would solve this, but i guess it will simply add audio (obviously;P), and not affect anything else.

So what's the 411 on the 2.12?
