DIOS MIOS (Lite) is a modified MIOS made by Crediar that allows you to play GameCube games via an external USB device or SD card. Note that not all games work. Some may have streaming audio issues and some require a disc (any disc) to be inserted. See the compatibility list here.
Once it's installed WiiFlow can use it to launch GameCube games. You can also use DIOS MIOS Booter by Fix94 to launch GC games.
Note: This method of is no longer recommended. Use Nintendont Wii instead.
What DIOS MIOS doesn't do
- Allow use of the Nintendo GameCube Microphone.
- Play backups from writable DVD media.
- Play audio via disc audio streaming.
How to setup
Before using DIOS MIOS (DM), ensure that your Wii has GameCube support. Wiis sold after late 2011 do not have the necessary controller and memory card ports to run this software.
- DIOS MIOS (DM for USB) - Make sure your HDD's first partition is FAT32 with 32KB cluster size and primary and active.
- DIOS MIOS Lite (DML for SD) - Format your SD card to FAT/FAT32 with 64KB/32KB cluster size for best results.
Place the WAD file you downloaded in the wad folder on your SD card and install it with WAD manager.
It's important to note that you can only have one version of DM or DML installed to the internal NAND FS at a time. However, you can use the latest revision of SNEEK DI to launch either version automatically.
See this guide for how to rip your GC game disc.
Folders created by DiscEX, GCReEx, or DMToolbox should be copied into a folder titled "games" in the root of the USB or SD. Make sure to keep your backup loading software up to date and properly configured for use with the latest DM(L) release.
If you need to use an accessory in slot B, enable "Cheats" in your loader to prevent DM from patching fwrite where it's expecting a USB Gecko in that slot.
