Question about the GC Ocarina, I'm trying to use a .GCT file for Zelda Wind Waker and it's not working.. i've tried other games and tried to use .GCT's but it's not working.. i have d2x 249 installed, i have the folders set correct on my sd card, i have the correct region .gct for it which is GZLE01.. i got the settings set at Vl & = 1st hook, GC Ocarina: Yes.. am i missing something?..
The NGC AR codes need to be converted before using them with Ocarina. There should be a tutorial available, which should be useful to you.
Edit: The tutorial can be found here.
and
Do you have a cMIOS installed? Does NeoGamma switch to the integrated GC loader?
d2x56v7final (249) appears at the bottom of the NeoGamma screen.. if that's what your asking for.. and as far as the GC loader, do you mean if it loads? Yeah it loads the game perfectly.. just not the codes..
Also, i have a syscheck from my wii if needed..
Question for WiiPower:
What exactly is audio streaming and why is it such a challenge for disc backup loaders and modchips?
Mabye more specifically, why can't this data be read if it is present in backup discs and the drive has the capability to read it?
Also, why don't Wii games use this audio format, while GCN games do?
Thanks!

When playing discs via softmod, the drive thinks you are reading data for a video dvd, everything else than disc-in-drive checks and the dvd video data read is disabled in this mode.
Sorry, I did not quite understand. What is lacking with softmod that enables the normal MIOS to read audio data from GCN discs? Or is the problem in the drive's internal firmware, when reading recordable media?

I get 002 error or "disk could not be read' with Wii Fit Plus....before i didn't have this problem... but I specifialy remember I had to change the iOS to fix the ominious "baby's Cry" freezing in Metroid Other M....
is there a way I can get both to work?

Maybe it´s possible to create a firmware, like on XBOX 360?
Is it possible to Flash teh drive through Softmod homebrew?
I don´t know anything about firmware, jsut that it´s some kind of configurating hardware instructor for the drive.
But thought that that may help manipulating it?
1: maybe it can make newer drive read backups.
2: enable audio streaming, just telling.
Don´t want to bring audio streaming up here aswell, just saw it was on topic for now.

It's kinda hilarious. Here I am reading up on what audio streaming is about...and then zerowalker's reply. It's like a very deep philosophical debate suddenly interrupted by someone throwing a pie.
Anyhow...
@wiipower (and discussion) I take it there's no easy or even semi-easy to patch iso's of streaming audio games so their audio content becomes "regular" music?
@[member='zerowalker']: sorry, dude. I don't mean to make fun out of you, but you made it damn easy on me. You're welcome to join the discussion, but you should do your homework a bit. First off, on a wii the firmware doesn't matter. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that it is separated into different parts (a whole bunch of different IOS'es and channels, of which the system channel is one). The whole deal on the streaming audio is only part of the gamecube part. And that is being dealt with by one single part called the MIOS. It's unnecessary to modify "a firmware" when it's just that one part that needs tinkering. And yes, it's possible to being developped. In fact, it's happening in the stickies in the modmii section (look for Dios Mios Lite, or DML).
Second: it will not make newer drive read backup discs (backups in general, yes...there are modified IOS'es (cIOS) out there for years can read wii backups from USB drives) as that is a physical thing. Newer wiis can read backup drives just as easily as floppy discs, which is to say: not at all. Not any kind of hacking will help that.
As for the second part...do you realise these are mostly the authors of the homebrew or cIOS discussing things? If they knew how to do it, they'd be busy making it already.

Sorry, but thought you could "cheat" the drive to think it´s a "real" disc instead of going to dvb mode.
And yes i did know about MIOS being the Gamecube part, and Dios Mios Lite.
But i thought audio streaming was pretty much "doomed" as it´s seems extremely complicated to emulate/create another way that will work like the Drive Direct Stream, but ofc nothing is impossible(if it´s technically possible).
And yeah i do not no much, that´s why i asked about the Audio Streaming in DML thread, and got some good answers

@wever i think you missed his point. i believe he was asking if its possible to mod the wii dvd drive firmware, like c4eva does to the xbox dvd drive firmware. it is still kind of crazy to suggest, but if its possible that would be awesome.
I had missed your first answer, davebaol. I had topic following disabled by default.
At any rate, my first reaction was the same as zerowalker's, whether hacking the firmware would help.
Why do Wii games don't have this problem, they don't use streaming audio?
Why can't the audio be accessed from SD using DML or Swiss?
It would be really cool if someone cracked this one, someday.
Hi WiiPower, did emu_kidd ever release his SD-Boot beta? Wanted to test if PSO would work with it? and on to a completely different topic - what would be the equivalent of "FSTFIX.exe game.iso f s t" for DiscEX? Is there a way to uncompress an ISO I created with fstfix or DiscEX?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to see if DiscEX can pretty much replace fstfix for my cube converting to DML. Been using cleanrip like a mofo lately lol. Just got my hands on a copy of PSO I & II Plus from a friend of mine in mint condition and he's not going to let me hold it long enough to hold my breath lol.
