DIOS MIOS v2.0

So after that large write up I still have not set up playability from my hd.... ugh.... one of those EUREKA moments shot down haha. so im back to square one i guess.

i have
32kb cluster FAT 32
all new iOS
d2x v8-final wads
DIOS_MIOS update 5
usb loader gx r1193 mod02
everything is set up primary/active/path wise

I am really thinking my hd just doesn't have compatibility. I hope someone knows what's up but for now i am just going to have to play the games off my sd (1 game on at a time), which is a inconvenience but it at least works for now. any other tips are welcome

play from SD works
just still dont have the play from USB working. (I thought you could only play from sd with dios lite? and i know i downloaded dios_mios update 5)

edit: here is a syscheck i did on my wii if anyone wants to take a look at it in case something i have it bad or out of date. thanks

also my homebrew is the newest 1.1.0

If you're playing games from the sd then you don't have dios mios 2.0 installed...2.0 only boots from hdd.

Awesome! Glad to hear it. So then your forwarder channel must have been out of date

I thought that was weird too but it was just that my forwarder was out of date and everything works as intended now.

Glad to see everyone is enjoying this wonderful program and I can't wait for the next update

Unfortunately I may have to limit my use of this till I fix my Wii as I have only been able to rip 2 games before my laser started failing out worse than it was
So my next project is to get my Wii a new disc drive (hopefully that solves my problem, found one for $40 on Amazon). If not I guess I'll have to buy a new (used lol) Wii and use one of them for experimenting with Homebrew :P

When you get a new wii, what System Menu Version do you plan to update it to?
(Also make sure it's backwards compatible, and has those gamecube port slots)

But wait! I hear that Wii's sold after 2008 won't work with it! Or maybe it's just the black and red wiis. I'm not sure.

No your right, I'll be picking up a used one at GameStop and I'll of course make sure it has GC support. I may update it to 4.3 seeing as its hackable now and I already have my 4.2 for any Homebrew stuff...the main purpose of the 2nd wii would be to rip Wii and GC games and for playing the retail discs should I feel like it lol. But as I said, I'm gonna try and salvage this one first.

Edit: Just as I was thinking maybe I messed up some software in it (BC, MIOS etc etc) I begin getting more frequent errors with Wii games now....it has got to be something in the drive cause I haven't done anything else to it in months aside from using a few different MIOS and BCs (always taken from ModMii, NUS Downloader or this site). Other than that all I've done is add and remove various clutter from my SD card and keep my apps update but that shouldn't matter....right? Oh, I also updated my cIOS from d2x v7 Final to v8 Final a few weeks ago.

Hey, I have a problem. Before recently, I was able to play Gamecube games by plugging my hard drive into Port 1, with them refusing to boot if I put them in port 0. Sometimes they wouldn't boot, but eventually they would. That is no longer the case now. Now it seems no matter what I try, I don't even get the splash screen on Port 1. I've tried USB Loader GX 1193mod3, and Dios Mios Booter, both of which have worked in the past, and still see the games themselves. I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB External Hard Drive, with a partition formatted to FAT32 with a cluster size of 32k, and is primary and active. The hard drive is an MBR type drive. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You've tried changing to port settings in USB Loader?

And Yay! I got DM to load my GC games from my HDD this time instead of my flashstick
I think I accidentally had my format settings at 64kb on the HDD but we shall see, gonna try a couple other things just to be sure.

:P I formatted it like a year ago lol. Must've just gone with the default FAT32 settings EASUS offered me. I gotta try loading it through the forwarder channel and see if it'll load off USB that way too. Someone else had to update their forwarder to get it working but I think I have the 5.1 forwarder...I was also sure about my HDD settings to though lol. I'll post back tomorrow with the results.

Yea, no problem...It's just that... I looked everywhere else but your cluster size because I trusted that that would be over and done with. Well, glad you found out the issue​.

Lol, well DIOS MIOS seems to be ok (I'll know for sure if my HDD works with it tomorrow.) I still have the "disc read error" problem with retail games (wii and GC) though....that hasn't changed.

This person should try.... if they didn't already , to load usb loader Gx1193 mod2 from HBC.
I had the same problem when trying to load from the forwarder channel,It would ask to copy to the sd card.(Only a few GC games would do this.)
Once I loaded directly from HBC , it loaded all of them with no problem's.

If that don't work and everything in the option's are set the way they are suppose to be ,then I would say it's the HDD.

^^^^^^
Holy Bazooka Joe...this thank you...always wanted to copy to sd even after i had cfg usb loader working and couldn't figure it out...loaded from homebrew channel and poof worked like magic...now if i can find out how to get the fowarder to load them i'm good to go....ok read a little more and see the link to the new forwarder and installed...it works perfectly (except for one thing...no on my channel list i have 2 loaders the old one and new one...how do i get rid of the old one)

also sorry for the double post below i can't seem to edit/delete or even see it unless i log out (then i can't do eather) for some reason my browser don't show all posts when i'm logged in but i can see them when i log out...using crome not sure why and never had this problem before

Yes, I've tried setting the port to both 0 and 1, and while USB Loader sees the games just fine, when I actually try to launch one, I get a black screen.

So I'm just an idiot lol. This whole time I thought my HDD wasn't compatible it was just the settings. When I checked it on EASUS it told me my cluster size was already 32 so I figured that couldn't be the problem, but alas I just reformatted it making sure the settings were right and copied back all the data.

Result: SUCCESS
Even through my forwarder, so now I don't need to play off my flashstick anymore :P

I guess I could try this, though it would help if I knew what settings you used, in case they work for me too.

Troubleshooting:

If you've followed cwjakesteels guide completely, make absolutely sure you check and see that you have following set up (don't just think so, make sure). If you do not have ALL of the following you must correct that.

USB Loader GX r1193 Mod02, the latest version of the forwarder channel (optional if you prefer loading through HBC), your HDDs formatted to FAT32 with a cluster size of 32kb (very important, NOT optional...do not overlook even if it means you have to reformat to check), make sure the USB Loader settings are as cwjakesteel says on the first page, lastly make sure you set up the custom path correctly. Example using The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker:

USB1:\GameCube\GZLE01\game.iso

Along with the ISO you should also have a "sys" folder which has the following important files to make the game load:

Apploader, bi2.bin and boot.bin

*Note: you'll notice that although the guide says to name you main folder for ISOs "game" I've chosen to name mine "GameCube". Just mentioning this so people know that the folders name is not of any importance other than for your own organization...unless, apparently, you're using DIOS MIOS Booter in which case it does matter. In my case I prefer the folders be named for the systems the ISO/Roms are for

few questions thanks for help.
1. is there a way to check the cluster size on my harddrive w/o reformatting? (i tried formating i memory stick with easeus, the same way i did my hd. and the biggest option was 16kb i believe)
2. has anyone got this to work on a seagate go flex freeagent drive? ( mine is 500gb)
3. do you format the games the same way as with dml cuz that works for me through neogamma one game at a time. but not cfg.they show up but dont launch.

anyways any help would be great. id love to play my games of hd through cfg. when i install DM it freezes at splash screen or shows splash then freezes at black screen. i have the latest cfg mod, i tried the DM booter, tried usb gx, neogamma, cant get anything to work. hopefullly its just my harddrive. anyway thanks for advice and all the guides/work.

1) EASUS lets you check the properties but it may not be very accurate, it told me my HDD was set to 32kb but it was actually 64kb. You can also format to FAT32 with a 32kb cluster size, check again.
2) I use a self-powered Seagate Free-agent GoFlex 640gb, works with no issues (so far)
3) I refer you to the guide on page one, that tells you how to format the games, what program to use etc. etc.

I recommend trying USB Loader GX if CFG is giving you problems as that is what I use for Wii and GC games and it works no problem.

I myself use a Seagate Go Agent drive. Also, SNES. The files have to be in a "games" folder for it to run from booter. I think it just makes life easier when it's compatible with the most USB Loaders. Especially since Booter is the simplest with the least problems I think.
