For gamecube games having the Drive formatted to FAT32 and the partition set to primary, active and a 32 KB cluster size is required for Dios-Mios to function properly.Hehe I know it was long and ppl might go and say tl;dr but it had some crucial info you obviously missed.
First, my hdd is an old Freecom 500 GB with both an ethernet port and USB 2.0 connection (sort of first gen network sharing idea, its atleast 10 years old)
Second, booting nintendont's original wad errors out when i start a game from the list telling me me my games aint right (DiscEx, trimmed and original isos made with the GC tool from WiiBackupManagers creator), Dios Mios loads the startup screen just fine out of the GX menu but wants me to install to SD.
Third, i went through all the menus but cant find the GC loader option anywhere. Where should it be?
Fourth, the games are in, for example HDD:/games/gamename [ID]/game.iso or HDD:/games/[ID] gamename/game.iso (trimmed or clean) with a dir in them (DiscEx).
Most/All off this was in the short novel I posted covering history of the console and too I used/things I installed this time around haha.
Could you link me to the new IOS versions I should use so I know I have the right ones. And can I just WAD install them overwriting the old versions?
Thanks
Gamecube settings are listed in the loader menu in the settings scroll down past the wii games.
I don't know what Nintendont WAD you are talking about i've never heard of it unless it's a system menu forwarder or app for nintendont.
this is a personal preference but when I put GC games on my hard drive their listed like this.
HDD:/games/Super Mario Sunshine [GMSE01]/game.iso
all of my games are trimmed I haven't run into issues like other user's have stated will happen.
Really? a quick google search for d2x cios brings you to this page https://code.google.com/p/d2x-cios/
yes you can grab the latest wad's from modmii and install them that way.
