After using the MIOS installer, I selected v8 and added support for the disk channel. After the installation, I got my burned copy of Super Smash Bros Melee to work. However, when I tried to play an actual retail gamecube game, the backup loader intervened and said that it couldn't read the disk. So, I tried to go to the installer again and press B instead of A on the parameters I set up to uninstall that patch. After I did this, I found that I got a black screen when trying to load my retail game. Then, I went into AnyTitleDeleter and deleted the only MIOS file that was on there, thinking that it was the MIOS that I had just installed. It wasn't. It was the system file responsible for playing GameCube games, if I'm not mistaken. Anyhow, I was hoping someone could provide me with a method on how to install this lost MIOS and also on how to play retail and backup gamecube games on the same system. Thank you in advance!
You need to find a mios wad and install it using wad manager. RVL-mios-v8.wad is the latest I think, but you could also do v4 for AR. I just tried a retail metroid prime, and it said error, but then booted it regularly. If you get sound but no image this is a problem with starfall/preloader having gc region free enabled. Note though that backups from other regions will still have this problem with region free disabled.
If you want the backup launcher then go ahead and reinstall it, because it should work fine. Otherwise if you want to avoid trouble just install a mios.
