[TUTORIAL] Launch your GameCube backups with DM(L)

Oops wrote:Try NMM (No More Memory). In wiiflow click on a cover then options and enable NMM. I haven't tested it.

edit: apparently depending on the DML revision, the SD(HC), the game, the loader (and its revision), it works more or less well

I'll test NMM,

oddly wind waker on an 8gb micro sd isn't any slower than another backup

Thanks

Hello everyone

First a big thanks to everyone because thanks to you and your links I managed to understand and fix my problem with DML.

It was simply that my BC v6 had disappeared, once reinstalled everything went back to normal.

A thousand thanks and see you soon

Very good tutorial, simple and clear! Much better than the ones found elsewhere, thanks a lot

Hello,
I have another problem, when I launch a game with wiiflow in gamecube mod, the diosmios screen shows then fatal error apploader size is 0?
Do you have a solution?
Thanks

My games are visible, covers ok, but I can't launch any of them, always this fatal error

external hdd fat32, root>games>gamename>game.iso passed through DMToolbox>DiscEX.
I don't understand

I've got 5 different games, dump issue I don't think so?
I erased it and started over, still the same??????????
Excellent Tutorial by the way

Do you have a "sys" folder containing the files apploader.img, bi2.bin and boot.bin?

Post by **cedwii** » Wed 9 Jan 2013 20:55

NO,

that's it

Post by **Ayatus** » Wed 9 Jan 2013 21:10

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough, I meant in the folder containing your game's iso?

Post by **cedwii** » Wed 9 Jan 2013 21:23

Thanks Ayatus,
Problem solved, I was just putting the iso in with both, now all my games work:)
Great, thanks again have a good evening, see you around!

Post by **Tyzy Ghost** » Sat 27 Apr 2013 11:39

Hi again. I have a small problem with the installation!

I installed Dios Mios (USB) with Wad Manager on IOS254 (I think) and then, the latest version of WiiFlow. So I wanted to switch to Gamecube mode (which works wonderfully and shows the game); but there's a problem: once the game is launched, Black Screen and nothing else. The Wiimote turns off and I'm forced to restart the console. Is there a way to get the game working? (Zelda: The Wind waker)

thanks in advance.

EDIT: I should mention I tested NMM and that I compressed the Iso with the Mios tool like in the tutorial (I picked the "Don't compress" option so the game stays intact, could that be the cause?)

Post by **Ayatus** » Sat 27 Apr 2013 12:39

That could simply be an HDD incompatibility.

Post by **actarus1973** » Sat 27 Apr 2013 13:34

or your backup is bad

Zelda: The Wind waker works just fine with this config'

The Wiimote turning off, that's normal!!

you're in NGC mode so no wiimote

you need an NGC controller

Post by **Tyzy Ghost** » Sat 27 Apr 2013 13:52

I see, I'll try with another backup then... at worst it's not a big deal

Post by **nastyboy62** » Sat 10 Aug 2013 14:38

Hello,

I can't get my GC games to work with DM v2.10 and WiiFlow v4.1.3 r439 installed on real NAND.
I do get the DIOS MIOS screen showing, then black screen and nothing else...

The different games (XIII, Star Wars Rogue Leader RS II, Baldur's Gate DA and TimeSplitter 2) were processed through DiscEX without compression. I'm using a GC controller.
For the HDD, the 1st partition, primary and active, is formatted in FAT32 with a 32 KB cluster size.
I tried changing the various DM settings with or without a DVD in the drive but still nothing.
I still need to test with Devolution r200.

Here's my Wiiflow.ini for those in the know:

Post by **Ayatus** » Sat 10 Aug 2013 14:54

WiiFlow's configuration isn't the easiest when it comes to GC games, try first with DIOS-MIOS Booter r30.

You can also try keeping your backup in 1:1 format without using DiscEx.

Post by **nastyboy62** » Sat 10 Aug 2013 16:52

Thanks for your help Ayatus but whether with DIOS-MIOS Booter r30 or with Devolution... nothing, nada

DM Booter doesn't see .iso images if they haven't first been processed through DiscEx.
On launch, I get the DIOS-MIOS screen then black screen (like with WiiFlow).
Devolution, on the other hand, does see the .isos fine. However, it loads the image then the drive's LED blinks (x2). Apparently, according to the Readme.txt file that comes with it, that means you need to insert the game's original mini-DVD (uh...I don't remember where I put it away

)
I don't know what to do anymore.
Ah yes, I forgot to mention I was using the Wii on an HD screen with a YUV cable (although I don't think that could cause a problem).

Post by **Ayatus** » Sat 10 Aug 2013 17:01

Devolution requires inserting the original disc once, it's an anti-piracy measure.
Dios Mios booter doesn't require passing its isos through DiscEx, you just need to rename the iso to game.iso.

Post by **nastyboy62** » Sat 10 Aug 2013 17:26

I renamed the iso to game.iso, then I put it in a folder bearing the game's ID and when I launch it with DM Booter my Wii turns off. Same for every game where I did it this way.

Post by **Ayatus** » Sat 10 Aug 2013 17:42

That could be from an HDD compatibility issue.
Test with another HDD or a USB stick.

Post by **Katoche** » Sat 10 Aug 2013 17:51

Good evening,

Regarding XIII, Baldur's Gate DA and TimeSplitter 2, for my part, it works fine as a "raw" ISO with Wiiflow 4.1.3 without modification with DM 2.10 on real nand. (I don't have Star Wars

)

As for the HDD compatibility, USB Loader GX gives a "512 bytes" error to let you know the drive isn't compatible with DiosMios.

Post by **nastyboy62** » Sun 11 Aug 2013 12:44

Hello,

@Ayatus: I'm starting to believe that indeed, the problem might come from my HDD (WD Element 2To USB 2). I don't have another HDD or a USB stick in FAT32 to rule that out. However, I tested with DML and an SDHC card and the game launches fine...

@Katoche: Thanks for your feedback on the games. Which HDD do you use? I got USB Loader GX v3.0 but not knowing this loader, I have a problem when I want to launch a GC game. It asks me if I want to copy it to SD or erase a game on the SD

No way to get it to launch the game (with DM installed). Can you explain how to rule out my HDD, please?

Thanks for your help

Post by **Katoche** » Sun 11 Aug 2013 15:01

I have a 3 TB WD USB2 that's not compatible, and a self-powered 500GB Seagate USB2 that works wonderfully (without a Y cable) for DiosMios and Quadforce.

In GX's settings go into "Hard Drive Settings", you need to tell it where the GC games are...

Then on the home screen, 4th icon from the left at the top, check GameCube games.

Now you should see them...

PS I don't have the Wii in front of me, I'll confirm all this tonight

Edit the error appears when launching the game.

Katoche wrote:In GX's settings go into "Hard Drive Settings", you need to tell it where the GC games are...

Thanks Katoche. Unfortunately, I already made this setting and it doesn't change anything about my problem.
I can see my GC games fine but when I want to launch one, I get the message about the SD

Even though, now, I'm pretty much sure that the problem with DM does come from my HDD, I'd like to be certain of that thanks to USB Loader GX.

Post by **Katoche** » Sun 11 Aug 2013 21:43

Hi again,

1) A really basic question: did you reinstall Dios Mios after testing Dios Mios Lite?

2) In GX, did you go into "Settings", then page 2 "Folder customization", "Main GameCube folder" select (in my case) "usb1:/Games/" for the location of the GC games (and not sd:/Games/)?

Edit: I have GX Rev 1215

Post by **nastyboy62** » Mon 12 Aug 2013 07:49

Hello,

1) Yes, for all the tests I ran, Dios Mios was installed. I only installed Dios Mios Lite to rule things out with an SD card.

2) I have the same setting as you (my HDD being partitioned, I use the 1st part for GC games). However, I also have, on the line right below, sd:/Games/. The problem is that when I try to change this value (to usb1:/Games/), USB Loader GX tells me the destination has to be on SD

I'll see if I can find an .ini to edit it directly

Edit: I got rev. 1180 of GX from the forum. I see I need to download the same one as you.
