Gamecube ISOs on Wii question

[MaslowK]

So recently I've been looking into doing some gamecube rips on my softmodded wii. Trouble is, they seem to be a lot more finicky as far as being loaded is concerned.

From what I understand, they need to be loaded via something like Dios Mios, on a fat32 partition. Now assuming this is correct, the only media I have that will support clusters that big is my 32gig pendrive, which is what i use with WBFS to play Wii rips.

All in all my question would be, am I on the right track as far as actually loading gamecube ISOs is concerned? And furthermore, would it be possible to partition the 32gig drive, one side set up for WBFS, the other with the special FAT32 for gamecube?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

AFAIK, You are correct on all accounts. But the FAT32 must be the first partition, DIOS MIOS will not recognize it otherwise. So you may have to copy the contents of your pen drive onto your computer, reformat it, partition it, then reformat the second partition as WBFS. I had to go through the same process with my external hard drive, and it took ages, but it worked in the end.

I'd also recommend not trying to mess with any other HD loader, and go strait with dios-mios-booter.

Well, um. So I had forgotten I have an 8gig SD card I could use for this, and proceeded to try a number of guides to no avail, including this one (first attempt). After failing I uninstalled that and tried this one, also no good.

Im almost wondering if its the game I'm trying to run (FZeroGX) or maybe a missing ios file somewhere? In the meantime I'll dig through your dios-mios-booter link and see what I can do.

DIOS-MIOS Lite is the version for playing games of an SD card, DIOS-MIOS is the version for playing games off of a USB device.

Here is probably the best guide, and Here is where you can download most of the apps (make sure to enable JavaScript).

Also, F-Zero GX is listed as Working.

Ah, so thats the difference between the normal and the "lite", I had no idea. After installing the lite version and its particular loader its working just fine thanks
