Basically elf files are genarally used if you dont want to install the homebrew channel you can use them with your exploit (letterbomb,Smashstack,ect)to directly load the app without the need for homebrew channel.
Wii games go in a folder called wbfs you need to use wii backup manager to put it in your drive it will automatically split your iso if it is over 4gb and it will convert it to wbfs format.
plug your drive into your computer and Load up wii backup manager click on drive 1 find your drive letter and load it up now click on add files find your iso wait for iso to load now check the box on your iso on the left now click transfer now click wbfs wait for it to transfer done. If you dont have a folder called wbfs it will ask you if you want it to make one.
No gamecube iso's go in your games folder have you tried another gamecube iso if not you should. It could be that both your hdd and sd are not compatible with dios mios (lite) try another hdd or sd if you have one. Just to make sure you are using dios mios lite for sd and dios mios for hdd, if so try dios mios booter to launch your gamecube iso's make sure it is set to sd for dios mios lite and usb for dios mios.
Oops, look like I spoke to soon.
When I click start after selecting kirby the screen goes completely black forever, resulting in me having to restart my Wii.
What should I do? is this because it is a faulty iso or something else.
About Dios Mios:
Ok, but does it need to be compressed in any way?
I cant give you a link to it but google (cios d2x v8 wad pack) put them in a folder called wads on your sd use wii mod or wii mod lite to install the wads.
Download wiimod (lite) put in apps folder boot it up go to wad manager then wii sd then go to wads folder open and find your wads press a to install make sure you install all of them press home to exit done. now your wii games should work. Dont play around with wii mod you can brick your wii do exactly as i said
oooh...., can't I just use wad manager regularly, I don't wana take the risk, cause my wii is already pretty limited as it is... What with the non working disc drive.....

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
