Dios Mios USB Simple Guide
As I have experienced reading the Dios Mios guide, it has missed out a few points which are important to it
As most people know you would download the dios mios wad from the main page and install it with something like Wadmanager 1.7
Installing Dios Mios 2.0 Wad
To install the wad you need to use Wadmanager 1.7 or any wad mananger which is best for you. When you install I reccomend that you uninstall Dios Mios Lite to make it a clean install rather than install over it. All you need to do then is select the Dios Mios wad file and install it. With that done its ready to use
Now for setting up the USB Drive
The Parition which is FAT32 must be the Active Primary parition on the hard drive because it needs to boot from it, using a parition mananger you should be able to rearrange the paritions hopefully
The Games need to be in a folder called Games or games on the root of the USB and must be extracted by using DiscEx (This can be found on the Dios Mios website) or
Cleanrip (Whichever tool is best for you works too).
Ii have found to be easier to do. (ISO'S will not work if they are just stuck in that folder, they must be extracted and kept in seperate folders)
It is important for it to be USB1: which is silly because no one says about it but this is important to know if it was not USB1: (As in the first partition)
I hope this helps you set it up and get it working easier.
Q: Why isnt it working on my USB Loader GX?
A: The latest USB Loader GX will only work with Dios Mios Lite still but if you download the latest beta it will work so long as the custom path is set up by going into the Custom Paths option of the Settings.
USB GC Path must be USB1:\\Games\ (if you select a folder inside the games folder it will only show that game rather than every one it is important to open the games folder though and select OK when inside it as this will be the root section where gamecube games are stored
Latest USB Loaders which work with Dios Mios 2.0 can be found by searching on Google or the forum
I know this out of having the issue myself and think this is important for anyone to know because it really helps with saving time and questions.
