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.

If you want to know game compatility check out the compatility list here:

Don't forget to add the games you play to the list if they are missing

That's it! If you have questions just ask here. Have fun playing your gamecube games from SD!

If you want back the gamecube support just do as the guy above me said. If it didn't work (like what happened to me) install the MIOSv8, it worked perfectly for me.

 

[DragonBoy]

To all the people who lost GC compatibility and want to restore it: Just open ModMii, go to download page 1, download MIOSv10, and install it.

Edit: Of course, keep in mind that this will uninstall DM.

Thank you! I did what you said and it is working fine again!

Can I enable NMM on WiiFlow? how?

 

[FIX94]

Can I enable NMM on WiiFlow? how?

Yes you can in the game options, click on a gamecube game and then on the gear icon for the individual game settings

 

[Deleted member 473940]

games are not showing up for me. using usb loader gx, neogamma, configureable usb loader.. pretty much anything

Never got answered
I followed the instructions. Since i am using the latest version, I had to follow step 6 onwards, right?
Converted the game, put in "games" folder. Nothing shows up.
Tried to make copies of the game folder and place it in different places on the USB, still doesnt work.

 

[FIX94]

Hm, so you converted it and got some new folder, lets say like "gzlp01" or so. You placed that to usb:/games, right? Oh and your usb hdd is formatted to fat32? You tried out dios-mios booter as well?

 

[Alexvire]

What I have:


Animal Crossing (NTSC / Compressed and uncompressed) - No image but sound.
Animal Crossing (PAL / Compressed) - Crash directly.
Mario Kart Double Dash!! (PAL / Compressed) - Crash after 30 minuts without bug.
Super Smash Bros. Melee (PAL / Compressed) - Crash directly.
Super Smash Bros. Melee (PAL / Uncompressed) - Crash after 5 minuts without bug.
The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker (PAL / Compressed and uncompressed) - Crash directly.

Yes, thats correct. I used all the converters you suggested.
DIOS-MIOS booter just boots the disc in the wii no matter what I do lol.

 

[Wiip™]

My Wii freezes after I start a game, it stays on the gc/dios-mios thingy, have I done something wrong? (Tried with dios-mios booter and cfg)

 

[FIX94]

Yes, thats correct. I used all the converters you suggested.
DIOS-MIOS booter just boots the disc in the wii no matter what I do lol.

So, you switched the view to USB, it also says current device is USB?

Always says current device is Drive

 

[LoggerMan]

I should buy another USB drive for Gamecube games, right? In order to to format it in the right way first. Or can I use the drive I have now and create a partition?

Is this for going back to disc support or for getting DIOS MIOS to work? I imagine the former but I'm still willing to take a crack at the latter.

That's for going back only which will eliminate Dios Mios.

im having this problem. with the other wad sd card works fine in booter (but still not cfg). then i use the v2.0 wad for usb and games crash in both cfg and booter

 

[TJOnline1991]

Can someone do a video tutorial on exactly how to get this working?

I've downloaded the smallest gamecube game (Ikaruga 145mb) just to test this out, and couldn't get it to play at all.

I've formatted my hdd (wd 500gb) to 32kb which deleted all my Wii games. But when I made the folder "games" on the root of my hdd, my Wii doesn't recognize it. Not on dios mios booter, or usbloader gx.

Yes, I've installed the dios mios 2.0 wad. Yes, I've used the gamecube iso compression tool. And yes, I've turned on "show gamecube games " on usbloader gx. But no dice.

Maybe I compressed my gcm file wrong, or maybe I formatted my hdd wrong, I really don't know. Which is why a videao tutorial, or maybe even a very detailed noob friendly walkthrough would prove useful to this situation. Thanks in advance.

 

[Bombercules]

Alright then I suppose I'm done with this until somebody writes a guide that addresses the black screen problem.

 

[Maxternal]

To understand better a lot of the black screen, freezing and compatibility issues I suggest reading the following
FAQ

 

[mrpinkeye]

To understand better a lot of the black screen, freezing and compatibility issues I suggest reading the following
FAQ games>marioparty7>game.iso or would i need to have the game id mentioned somewhere?

 

[Dartinho]

Is anyone else besides me having problems with Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Colosseum? I'm using DML v1.5 and NTSC game isos. The problem is that it just stays stuck at GCLoader screen. "Loading apploader..." and that's it, stays there forever. Which is strange, because compatibility list says both games runs just fine. Already tried to download other game isos from different places but the problem persists. Also tried to run both games without compressing them, but the problem stays the same.
