Yes, but you may want to upgrade to DIOS MIOS 2.4, it has quite a few improvements.
if you've Wii games previously stored in wbfs format, convert the whole thing into FAT32 format with "wfbs2FAT"Quote:

Today's cIOS's (d2x, Hermes, etc.) mean you don't really need to keep WBFS partitions anymore. They'll be more than happy to read image files (in this case, WBFS/WBF1 image files) directly from a FAT32 partition (they'll even do NTFS partitions with a little tweaking, though FAT32 is preferred). This makes them much easier to manage. It also means they can co-exist on the same partition as GameCube ISOs (the loaders tend to keep them in separate directory trees). Whether you convert your WBFS partitions into files or re-image the discs from your loader is up to you (IIRC the newer ones compatible with DIOS MIOS will also image GC discs--though they'll come out raw and could stand shrinking).
DIOS MIOS uses FAT32 only - no NTFS support.
