#Remove dios mios wii update#

We don't know if the system update files will still be online, or if they will close only the eShop application, but it's not a problem either because all system files (IOS, BC, MIOS) are located in game's update partition and can be extracted with WiixPlorer or any dumping tool (cleanrip + wiiscrubber for example). Nintendo closed the ability to buy points, but purchase is still possible, and NUS still online until 2019. If you really want to replace it : NUS is not closed ! that's misinformation. If you don't intend to use the gamecube more of the Wii, or don't intend to play official gamecube disc from the disc channel, keep it and don't bother replacing your slot with MIOS v10.

To reinstall DIOS MIOS, you can simply install its WAD again, it's not necessary to perform all of the stuff in the referenced tutorial again.The MIOS slot is used to read gamecube discs in gamecube mode. This WAD is a part of System Menu 4.3 and installing it should replace DIOS MIOS. If your System Menu's version is 4.3, once you have installed DIOS MIOS, you can uninstall it by installing this WAD using a WAD manager (e.g. As far as I have researched, there is no definitive solution this problem and the best I have managed to get is to install DIOS MIOS whenever I use the USB Loader and uninstall it whenever I play Phantasy Star. For me, it happened to Phantasy Star Online Episodes I and II.

This means that if you have a Gamecube game that runs perfectly on an unmodded Wii, installing DIOS MIOS may cause this game to no longer work. The problem, though, is that these games are ran under DIOS MIOS and are subject to its compatibility list. In order to install it (as well as all of its dependencies), I'd suggest using this tutorial, mostly because it worked out for me.Д¬ontrary to what the first DIOS MIOS reference says (it may be outdated), newer versions of DIOS MIOS (I tried 2.11) DO allow you to play retail Gamecube games.

As the reference says, I suggest using the 'Configurable USB Loader' (CFG) application as your USB Loader of choice.ДIOS MIOS is a modification to your Wii's system software that allows you to play GameCube (GCN) games on your Wii from a FAT32 hard driveДIOS MIOS is not an application you access, but rather an internal mod that is used by the your USB Loader to run the Gamecube games. USB Loaders allow you to rip your own discs to an external USB hard drive and then run them from there. It's a little risky, but unless electrical energy is cut off during the installation, I don't believe there's much of a problem. In my case I could play Rayman 3 but I was still unable to play my copy of Chibi Robo. I believe it might work for 99.9% of all Gamecube and Wii games. Preloader is also able to apply memory patches to the system menu to remove limitations or other things.ДЄmong these 'limitations and other things' that can be removed is region locking for Wii and Gamecube games. Its main feature is to directly boot the Homebrew Channel or a file you can install from a FAT device. Priiloader is a small application which places itself before the System Menu. I won't go much further into details about installation, but their basic gists are as follows:Дisclaimer: you are sole responsible for absolutely anything (good or bad) that may happen to your console should you try the suggestions below. In the end, though, I figured out that the best solution for playing import Gamecube and Wii games involved using Priiloader and/or a USB Loader along with DIOS MIOS. I was unable to use the latest version of Nintendo't on my Wii (downloaded directly from the official repository), however, I found this version, which worked, and through it I updated to the lastest version. Using it, I was able to play my copy of Chibi Robo, which indicates that it has a more complicated type of region lock. It also has far better compatibility than DIOS MIOS. The best solution to play import Gamecube games (as well as their backups) is actually Nintendon't, which is an app that you can launch from the Homebrew Channel and doesn't need any kind of additional modding (unlike Priiloader and DIOS MIOS, see below).

If anything, the text on the box of my copy is in German. It may be that my copy is somehow broken, but I can't say that for sure, because I was still able to use it to create a CFG/DIOS MIOS backup (more on this below). Chibi Robo, on the other hand, didn't run under GeckoOS, nor any other method I tried. I was able to choose the game's language, play at 60fps and save and load without any problem. So, I managed to put my hands on two PAL Gamecube games ( Rayman 3 and Chibi Robo) and tested them against GeckoOS 1.9.3.1 and concluded that the answer to my original question is yes and no.
