I know that DIOS MIOS is set to work on drives with a low-level 512 byte formatting. My 4TB drives (that has my Wii games) is one of the advanced format drives with a low-level 4096 byte formatting.

Does anyone have a version that works on advanced format drives?

TIA

I think someone tried to update the sources to allow 4k drives (it was either 512 or 4096, not both).
But I don't remember if it worked.
if it did, it's buried in the DIOS MIOS (Lite) thread, but there's maybe only his comment and no sources or patches.

I believe using a higher sector size was impossible in DIOS MIOS due to low amount of space in CPU cache or something like that (it has to do with the way the thing boots), but that shouldn't be a problem in NINTENDONT which works as a native Wii app.

    best buy is questionable... I can't get thru a line
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon what do you plan on doing with the 2nd unit? family member? resale?
