Hello,

The line below concerns "GameCube SD Folder", I also have sd:/games/ and my games launch without a problem.

Have you tried re-downloading DiosMios 2.10? (in case the first one turned out "buggy")


If it's useful, here's my GXGlobal.cfg

edit 11:36am
attention, I modified Wiiflow and GX so they have a "common trunk" for these two loaders (covers, banners, txtcodes etc.). So it shouldn't be taken "literally" ;)

Hello,

I think my investigations are almost done :roll:
I (finally) managed to launch a GC game with USB Loader GX rev. 1215 and DM installed.

@Katoche:
Here's the error message that appears when I launch the GC game: "To run GameCube games with DIOS MIOS you need to use a partition with 32k bytes/cluster or less." Can you confirm that this message does mean the HDD isn't compatible with DM?

Hello Nastyboy,

"My" error message with the WD is:

-"Error:
To launch GameCube games with DIOS MIOS you need to use a hard drive with 512 bytes per sector."

If your hard drive was indeed formatted in FAT32 with a 32kb allocation unit size...

Hi again,

Indeed, I had a doubt about the error message. "Mine" made me think more of a cluster size issue than an incompatibility.
This morning, I reformatted the HDD to be really sure and...now I can launch the GC games (some with WiiFlow or GX, others with DIOS MIOS Booter). I think I'll end up buying a "small" self-powered HDD for the GC games (I have, for example, a bug with the sound and dialogue in StarFox adventures...)

In any case, thanks to you (Ayatus and Katoche) for your advice and your help :74:

I don't have that game, sniff... :evil:

But looking at these two compatibility lists with Dios Mios, I think this problem is known...

- https://crediar.no-ip.com/gc/
- https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/DIOS_MIOS ... ility_List

Let me add one last observation:
Crediar (author of DiosMios/L) completely rewrote the mios's "code"... so the compatibility (which is already huge in my opinion), isn't "total"... ;)

Enjoy your games :D
