Clarification:
DML ONLY works from SD Card/SDHC Card, nothing else, no USB. There won't be a USB version someday.
So Yeah, this "Clarification" is incorrect, crediar was able to do it


What you'll need:

• IF YOU WANT TO PLAY FROM SD
• The Latest DIOS-MIOS (Lite) package from here (older versions here).
• DML WAD Creator (for older versions)
• IF YOU WANT TO PLAY FROM USB
• FOR DML and DIOS-MIOS
• GameCube ISO Compress, fstfix, DiscEX or GCReEX (your choice, read below first and decide what you want to use)
• A WAD Manager (for example WAD Manager 1.7)
• A SD Card or a USB Device (D'OH!)
• Gamecube Controller and Memory Card

How to:

1. If you have downloaded the newer version go to step 6, if you picked the older ones follow this.
2. Extract the DML package in a folder with the same name as the package (for example DMLr13 for DMLr13.zip). If there is just a iosmodule.elf of the latest DML available then copy it into a new DML folder and rename it to DML.elf.
3. If you already have a RVL-mios-v10.wad, copy it into the DML folder. Then the creator don't need to download the file.
4. Extract the DML WAD Creator into the DML folder. Then run the "create_wad.bat" and type "DML" to create the DML wad, if you don't have the RVL-mios-v10.wad it will be downloaded.
5. If the DML WAD Creator asks you which version you want to build type it in like '13' for DMLr13.
6. Now let's convert some gamecube games! If you downloaded the new DML versions or DIOS-MIOS just start reading here.
7. You'll need the gamecube games in iso or gcm format.
8. If you want to use DiscEX and downloaded the older DML versions, the DiscEX files needs to be in the same folder as the DML WAD creator. Just open the WAD Creator, type "C" to enter the convert menu, drag and drop the game into it and say if you want to compress it or not. If you use the newer DML versions or DIOS-MIOS, open up a command prompt and enter "DiscEX -c gamename.iso" if you want compression, replace "gamename" with the name of your iso file. If you dont want compression just drag and drop the iso file into the DiscEX.exe. Mostly compression will work fine, some games need to stay uncompressed, see here.
9. You can also use Gamecube ISO Compressor for the job, easiest way is there to just drag and drop your ISO file into the Compressor exe file. You can also just double click the exe file to see which options you can also use to compress the ISO files, they are more modes in it.
10. If you have downloaded the new DML versions, you can also use GCReEx, there you can use "GCReEx.exe -x game.iso", this will create no new ISO file but a folder which contains the extracted files, this way saves most space on the sd card.
11. There is also the possiblity to use fstfix instead to compress the games, use it like "fstfix game.iso" or "fstfix game.iso t" and drag and drop the resulting new iso in DiscEX. DiscEX will may stop at a certain percentage to copy the game, it will may also say the game is underdumped/overdumped. Both things come because the image haven't got the orignal size anymore, so you can ignore these messages.
12. After using one of the above ways to convert your games, copy the newly created folder of the tool to sd:/games if you want to play from SD and to usb:/games if you want to play from USB.

On your Wii:

1. Install the DML/DIOS-MIOS WAD with a WAD Manager, this will overwrite the current MIOS/cMIOS. Retail gamecube discs will still work since DMLr19. If you had a cMIOS installed before to play disc backups it wont be possible anymore until you re-install the cMIOS which will overwrite DML.
2. You can play the games either with DIOS-MIOS Booter, NeoGamma, postLoader4, Wiiflow, USB Loader GX or Configurable USB Loader. Make sure you have a disc inserted, otherwise your Wii will simply reset if you try to play a game.
3. The easiest one is DIOS-MIOS Booter, it works with all DML and DIOS-MIOS versions, just start it, select the game you want, set new options with the B button if you want, and launch the game.
4. To boot games using Wiiflow switch the coverflow mode to the gameube coverflow mode by pressing the icon down-right near the home icon a few times until you see the games. You can also download covers for them in the settings, it's the gear icon down-left. Wiiflow also supports all DML and DIOS-MIOS versions with all options.
5. To boot games using postLoader just press home to enter the menu, select "Switch to Game mode". In game mode just press up on the wiimote to enter the DML menu or press home, select "Game options" and then "Show DML menu". Then select the game you want to play.
6. For USB Loader GX you just need to go to the display icon and select display gamecube games too, then you can set options in the menu and play them.
7. In Configurable USB Loader they are just displayed together with the other wii games, there you can also set the options and launch them.
8. The other ways described now are currently not optimized for the new DML versions, doesnt work with DIOS-MIOS and my not work properly.
9. To boot games using NeoGamma go down to "Load Games from: " and select "Load GC Games via DML". Then go up and press A to search games. Select the game you want to play and press A to start it. NeoGamma doesnt have options to set for DML because its made for old DML versions.
10. If you want to remove DML/DIOS-MIOS again either reinstall a cMIOS or the RVL-mios-v10.wad. If DML doesn't work for you make sure you have a clean BC, to get it run the "create_wad.bat" in the DML wad creator package again and type "BC". Then just install the RVL-BC-v6.wad on your wii and try it again.

Recommendations:

• Format your SD Card to FAT16/FAT32 with 64KB cluster size to increase game speed
• If you want to use DIOS-MIOS format it to FAT32 with 32KB cluster size, also make the FAT32 the first one, primary and active
• If you want to use DML r21 I suggest the debug version since the regular version got small problems. Delete the DML.elf, rename the DMLdebug.elf to DML.elf and then create a new wad with it.
• If you have a problem you can try to rename/delete the "saves" folder on your sd card to everything you want, that can may fix it.
• Crediar created a small FAQ here that might help you as well with some general questions.

Downloads page is broken. Looking for DIOS MIOS preferably, but I'll take DM LITE.
Anyone?

edit: found a mirror for
DIOS MOIS 2.9....
Still is the GoogleCode page going to be fixed?

If you download DMLizard you can get DIOS MIOS 2.10

 

[zemunasu]

gamecube games only appear in configurable usb. but usb loader gx has patched the ocarina geckocodes updater. Gamecube games won't appear in GX and Ocarina codes wont download. I'm using 3.0

 

[Cesar Montoya]

So I have been having trouble lately with DIOS MIOS lite. The controllers work well but stop working once a game is booted. I have DML 2.10 and use Dios Mios booter r30. At first everything was fine and i haven't changed the settings from before. I heard you can fix this by playing a retail disk but my wii does not play any disks anymore. That is why I have DML. If anyone can help me, I'll appreciate it.

 

[JFTS]

I have a similar problem. I can see the DIOS MIOS boot screen both on CFG Loader and Dios Mios Booter but then, the screen gets black and the system freezes.

I cannot understand in any rational reason why this happens. It is very simple and yet, I can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

 

[Buttersoft.]

I'm in the same boat as JFTS and it's driving me fricking crazy. My state is:

Original White Wii (previously softmodded by a friend with USB Loader GX and cIOS's)
4.3E
Followed a complete ModMii guide to re-hack, including MIOS (will not allow Bootmii as Boot 2)(Used RVL-cMIOS-v65535(v10)_WiiGator_WiiPower_v0.2.wad *not* RVL-mios-v10.wad)

I tried following the guide in the OP, and also the one Stephanie posted, and at best i keep getting a black screen after the DIOS MIOS splash, using USB Loader GX, CFG Loader, and DIOS MIOS Booter. Sometimes i don't even get to the splash screen, depending on the compression method I'm using. I have verified the Md5 hashes of the files i'm using, and tried different forms of compression (and using uncompressed .iso's - I'm assuming DiscEX is ok to work with .gcm files? I have tied both .gcm and .iso though) Sometimes DIOS MIOS doesn't even get to the splash screen.

I'm going to go through ModMii again to get back the that state, and will try the guide again.

I'm using USB Loader GX v3.0 R1230 and DIOS MIOS v2.11. Does anyone have any tips about what i might be doing wrong, or anything else to try? Is that cMIOS above the wrong one, or does it not matter because DIOS MIOS overwrites the MIOS? The suggestions in the DIOS MIOS FAQ aren't helping


(Lastly, if, to my eternal shame, i can't get DIOS MIOS going, does anyone have a link to a good guide on how to burn and play backup gamecube discs?)

 

[Filisteus]

I used a sdcard and it worked perfectly, I just wore microsd with adapter

 

[TheFadedWarrior]

Just a heads up, the DIOS MIOS Lite downloads page does not work in Chrome unless you allow the script to show. In your address bar on the downloads page there should be a silver shield. Click the shield and then click "Load unsafe script." You can then download.

Hello

I have an issue that I need a bit help with.
I somehow managed to get the gamecube games to work (yay!) but when the games start, they dont recognize my GC controller. The controller is not defective, it works in other games (wii, n64) and in app menus where they should and can work (dios mios booter, wii64 etc). Changing the launcher doesn't help at all. I tried USB Laungher GX, Dios-Mios Booter and WiiFlow. They all result the same, the controller doesn't do anything once the games are activated.

Note: the controller is not original, I bought it on Ebay for 7-8$. I suspect that the apps/system have something that detects if the controller is legit but I can't stick to that idea since it works everywhere else.

 

[Cyan]

It's probably because it's not an original controller.

in homebrew, it's using different controller access and data reading than official games.
I don't want to tell you to not use DIOS MIOS/Lite if this is what you chose, but there are two other gamecube backup loader you could try for wii/WiiU that doesn't use the default gamecube controller's functions.

You should try :
Devolution (require your official disc and a compatible Wii to verify the disc first)
Nintendont (no disc verification, and works with a lot of controllers)

they both don't require any installation of system file or cIOS. only IOS58 and copy boot.dol to your /apps/ folder like any homebrew. they can be launched from external loaders (USBGX, Wiiflow, CFG, etc.) or from HBC.
