The GCN USB Loader for Wii gets lots of fixes.



crediar has released another update to the *original* DIOS MIOS, improving the patch code, among other fixes.

DIOS MIOS by crediar, allows you to run Gamecube games from an USB device on your Wii.

Format your USB device to FAT32 with 32KB cluster size or less, anything higher is not supported.

DM is looking on USB port 0 first so if it takes a long time for the splash screen to appear connect your device to the other port.

If no splash screen appears at all your HDD (usually the IDE2USB controller device is at fault not the HDD itself) is probably not supported.

Before you use this software make sure that your Wii is backwards-compatible to gamecube games because newly released Wiis(beginning with 2011 holiday season) which are lacking the gamecube controller/ memory card ports can make no use of DIOS MIOS.

Still under heavy development and ongoing progress.
