- when you choose DML, the drive will be formatted to "Format: FAT32, Clustersize: 64KB (automatic fallback to highest possible value), Name: WII"
- Create a DML wad using an ELF file:
- let's you drag'n'drop an ELF file into DMLizard to create a WAD file from it
- ou can also enter which revision you are converting
- Search for a new version of DM or DML
- automatically searches for a new version of DM or DML and downloads the new WAD if there is one
- there is no download of the BC and MIOS and no verification (just to mention)
- Patch a game's "main.dol" using an IPS file
- let's you drag'n'drop an IPS file and the "main.dol" of a game to apply the IPS patch
- backs up your "main.dol" to "main.dol.bak" before applying the patch
- this feature is untested, though (just to mention)
- Enable drag'n'drop feature
- let's you choose to fix some registry values if drag'n'drop does not work for you
- there is a safe mode which only makes little changes but may have no effect
- and there is a mode which applies 5 changes and should definitely work - but be careful with that and ONLY USE if drag'n'drop really does not work!
