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!

I read on the first post dated Jan. 2012 that it needs:

• Gamecube Controller and Memory Card

Do I still need the Memory Card now?

Kinda. There IS the option to do without it (it's called NMM) but there are many games that just don't work with it.

I've gotten Gamecube games to work on my USB, but they won't work on my 32 GB Class 10 Lexar Platinum SDHC card formatted to FAT32 with 32K cluster size. Can anyone help? I'm using the same isos that have worked on my USB.

Are you using DIOS MIOS Lite rather than the vanilla DIOS MIOS?

 

[SonicRings]

I'm using the same DIOS MIOS needed to play games via USB that I got from this tutorial: http://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-play-gamecube-games-off-a-usb-hdd.329628/

DIOS MIOS plays games off HDDs.
DIOS MIOS Lite plays games off SD.

Oh, I see. I can only have 1 on my WIi at any one time, right?

Correct.

 

[SonicRings]

Correct.

Okay, thank you for the prompt reply. I really appreciate it. I can play Gamecube games tonight before bed after all!
Just one more quick question: Which do I download?
DIOS MIOS Lite 2.10 *NEEK DI with DMToolbox (+source) Load games from SD
or
DIOS MIOS Lite 2.10 real NAND with DMToolbox (+source) Load games from SD

If you have to ask, then I'd assume you'll be needing the real NAND version.

 

[SonicRings]

What is the difference?
I'll go ahead and install the version you specified.

 

[grossaffe]

I'm not 100% up on the subject, but my understanding is that NEEK deals in emulated NAND. I would figure that if you aren't familiar with it you probably wouldn't have it installed.

Wohoo, it's working!! Thanks for your help, dude!

White Wii, 4.3, hacked with LetterBomb
GameCube retail games work, my Wii can play retail just fine.
cIOS 249
Lenovo 8GB Platinum II SD card FAT 32 64kb cluster size.
320GB USB Comstar HDD, no I'm not using it for HomeBrew or GameCube games; just listing it here.

I have a few questions..
Do you need a GameCube disk, or any old Wii Game? I don't have my GameCube disks anymore, which is why I'm doing this, but I have Super Mario Galaxy 2 in my Wii and it restarts when loading a GameCube game so I'm guessing that's a no. Also, after trying to boot a GameCube game from USBLoaderGX (Using my SD Card, of course) or Dios Mios Booter and it blackscreens and/or restarts the Wii Disk Channel requires another update despite me being on 4.3. The update had appeared before, and it went through just fine and let me play my retail Wii game and it was no different this time. And on Wad Manager 17, the Dios Mios lite wad is selectable for installation when using the Wii SD Card slot as a source and IOS 249 but when I try to install it says "Error - Title not found -rer 1000" something even though it unpacked it successfully. And now the Wad Manager is making my Wii remote reboot itself when trying to press A at the IOS screen that is now utterly unusable. You know, the remote flashing like it does when you load a homebrew. I checked the battery level on the Wii home menu, and it was fine and the Wii remote only died out on the Wad Manager. And USBLoader GX says that the cIOS is missing, although it seems to do this sometimes and I reinstall the cIOS and it works fine. Also, does having a USB HDD plugged in using Dios Mios lite affect anything? It only has a few Wii Games on it, I don't know if having it on and plugged in affects installation. I have Pokemon XD: Gale Of Darkness, Legend of Zelda Wind Waker, and Super Mario Sunshine from a respected source. I'm not blaming anybody here, just to be clear
Anyone know whats going on?

I haven't taken Brawl out of my Wii for ages, and I play Gamecube games just fine. Make sure you read the guide carefully: You need to format your SD card to 32 KB Cluster Size, not 64 KB. Also, you need to install DIOS MIOS Lite. I didn't read more than the first sentence of your post as it's overwhelmingly long, so here's hoping the first line was all that was required to fix your problem!

Oh Also, the Pokemon games are unplayable unless you burn them on an actual disc. Meaning you can't play them on any other medium, be it SD card or external hdd.

That is not true because Pokémon XD/Colosseum works fine with DM/DML, you just need a real memory card to save the game.

 

[Ratmando]

So it's the NAND version of DML I need?

This will still allow me to play originals too?

Yes, dios mios can be used both on nand of emunand version, it's your choice, and you can still play retail discs with latest DM also, but i recommend you using devolution for original discs.

Thanks for the support, I'm too lazy to quote. Wad manager was the issue, discovered YAWMM by chance and it worked great. Wind waker had to be redone, I didn't know what I was doing at first. USBLoader r1218 was a headache to track down, but it supports Dios Mios Lite and loads cheats. Well, except for the fact that GZLE01 Wind Waker cheats seem to disagree with emulators and Dios Mios lite.

Edit: As I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, feel free to ignore it. Is there a working moon jump code for NTSC-U GameID GZLE01 Wind Waker? Driving me nuts running into misleading topics and copy & pasted PAL codes.
