Hacking Dios Mios Problem

[BlackWizzard17]

omg. i need help, i installed cios 222/223 v4 (222 cios installer) so i could watch dvds on my wii,then i installed 202 cios (38-0) wad v4.now when i install dios mios wad (always works) it says i needs to be installed when i already did,pls someone help me.

 

[d.d.d.]

That was a little unclear. But if I got your gist, it sounds perhaps like you installed the wrong Dios Mios for what you're trying to accomplish (DM vs DML for example).
If that's not the case, reply and be clear as to what your problem exactly is.

oh sorry.I installed Dios Mios cause i have a flashdrive, but every time i install (Dios Mios 2.4 wad) the gamecube game says 'you need to install Dios Mios to run this game'. And i think i messed up by either in stalling ios 222 v4 witch is to enable mic support for games like guitar hero i think or ios 202 v4 to watch movies.I just wanna know how to uninstall these new ios.

So far from your 7 posts, you've hit the ground running, dude.
the ios/cios you installed have nothing to do with playing GC games on the wii, they only effect wii games.
Dios Mios 2.6 is what you want to install if your loading GC games from usb ONLY. DM from SD card only.
Dont go uninstalling anything, or you'll surely end up with a bricked console.
Have you checked out ModMii? if not, use it.

ohhhhhh,ok. thanks for helping me.but lets just say i install dios mios 2.6 but it wont load, would that be a big problem.

Which loader are you using to launch the gamecube backup?
If it says that you need DIOS MIOS, it probably because it didn't detect the installed MIOS correctly, or you have a wrong/old version of the loader not compatible with recent MIOS.

 

[BlackWizzard17]

i use usbloader gx one that is compatible with it because the 3.0v didnt work.oh and not to borther anyone, but can i get a hint on how to use the 2 disc feature with dios mios 2.6, you can e-mail me at [email protected] no caps and no spam pls

 

[Cyan]

Is it still asking you to install DIOS MIOS to run the game?

Go into the settings > Last page > Credit
Look at the top of the page, if the loader detects DIOS MIOS then you will see the version number "DIOS MIOS 2.5+".
If you don't see that, then it means the loader didn't detect DIOS MIOS.
There are two different possibility why it's not detected:

1. You use the version "IOS222" and don't have the correct meta.xml file in apps/usbloader_gx/ folder.
2. You are still using an old USBLoaderGX (use revision 1203 or newer. Old version can't detect DIOS MIOS if you use IOS222)

 

[BlackWizzard17]

wait if installed a cios 222 than old usbloaders wont work

 

[Cyan]

not "install" but "using".

If you set IOS222 in the settings, then after launching it will reload to that IOS.
But that IOS has no access to NAND, and can't detect DIOS MIOS.

I fixed that problem in revision 1202, but you need the correct meta.xml file.

Best setup:

Setting > Loader setting : set the IOS to 249
Then ONLY for music games, go to the games > preferences > Game setting > Set the IOS for THAT game to 222 or 223.
Restart the loader, and go to the Credit page to see if DIOS MIOS is detected now.
Oh, and of course, don't use old revision, update to r1204.

pls i need help and thank you for helpng me whoerver posted, gosh im such a NoOb

 

[BlackWizzard17]

Would it be clear if i post whats wrong?

cIOS222 is not "for USB2".
ALL cIOS are for USB2.

cIOS are all doing something different, and you can have all cIOS installed at the same time on your Wii.
When you use a homebrew, it loads in memory the cIOS that you decide (or that the homebrew need). It can use only one cIOS at a time, choosing from all the list of cIOS that you have on your console.
So, having a cIOS is not a problem for another cIOS. you can have plenty of them (up to 255 IOS!).

The only thing that you can't have in multiple is the MIOS (the IOS for GameCube games).


Your Wii looks like this:
BC, MIOS, IOS1 to IOS255.
IOS1 to 255 are only "places" where data can be installed (we call it a slot).

When you launch a homebrew, it need a IOS (USBloader usually need the IOS located at the place number 249 or at the place number 222).
***

What you need on your Wii:
BC, MIOS, IOS58, IOS222, IOS223, IOS249

When you launch the homebrew channel, it need IOS58
When you launch the USBLoaderGX version249, it need IOS249 (this version will detected the current MIOS version that you have on your Wii, remember you can have only one MIOS)
when you launch the USBLoaderGX version222, it need IOS222 (this version will NOT detect the current MIOS version that you have on your wii)
if you don't have the needed IOS installed, the wii reboot.

After launching the USBLoaderGX, you can launch games.
All games also need a IOS (sometime a different IOS). so you tell USBLoaderGX that Game1 need IOS249, and Game2 need IOS249, and Game3 (a music game) need IOS222 or IOS223.
And when you launch Game3 it load the IOS that you decided in memory before launching the game.
You understand that you can tell to the loader to use a different IOS for each game?

Each IOS has different features, like "mic and wiispeak" or "read MIOS version".
You need to tell USBLoaderGX to use the correct IOS depending on what you want to do.

***
If you don't know what IOS your Wii currently has installed, you can use modmii program to re-softmod your Wii. It will install ALL the needed IOS correctly. then DO NOT replace or delete IOS.
You can also launch the homebrew "syscheck" that you can find in my signature, and follow the guide. It will list all you have on your Wii.

 

[BlackWizzard17]

Thanks dude you are very coolI just wish i knew ore like you

 

[Cyan]

Did you understood what I explained (How your wii is working internally)?

Did you re-softmod it, or did you used syscheck to get a list of IOS installed on your Wii?
If you use syscheck, please post the report here, then I will continue helping you. one step at a time.

 

[BlackWizzard17]

Well im gonna get to re-soft modding my wii. If i have any troble ill tell you, thanks for the support i appreciate it

 

[BlackWizzard17]

I just have one more question, what loader does dios mios 2.6 support?My old verstion doesn't detect it and my new one doesn't isn't compatible.

 

[Cyan]

you mean what other USB loaders? wiiflow, cfg loader, DMbooter
or which version of USBLoaderGX ? r1204

in GX, if it tells "2.5+" then it's fine. 2.6 is "+" than 2.5
it means 2.5 "and above"

 

[BlackWizzard17]

YAY, I GOT EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL. I used mod mii to get the right cios plus my revomed ios 249 back. One again im able to play gc games,thank you for your support Cyan for helping me and not calling me a noob. If i could give you $1000 i would lol. Thank you every one who tried to help me especially Cyran. (now if i just new how to play 2-disc games) XD

 

[Cyan]

to play 2 dics games:

Disc1 and Disc2 ISO file must be in the same folder.
Disc1 filename: game.iso
Disc2 filename: disc2.iso

That's all.
If you are installing games from your disc, the iso will go in their own folders (two different places) with both files named "game.iso".
On your computer, rename the second disc to "disc2.iso" and move the file into the first disc folder.

next revision of USBLoaderGX (not released publicly yet) has auto-detection of Disc2 and dump the files in the correct folder.
