title: "d2x cIOS for vWii"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
While [cIOS](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Custom_IOS) has largely been supplanted by AHBPROT, which gives complete hardware access, it still has useful applications. For example, this enables the functionality of USB loaders like USB Loader GX and WiiFlow, alongside other pieces of homebrew like SaveGame Manager GX. You can skip this process if you want, but generally it extends your Wii with little to no downsides.
If you have a Wii, use [this](cios) guide for cIOS instead. Attempting to install other cIOS on a Wii will not work.
{: .notice--warning}
If you have a Wii mini, use [this](cios-mini) guide for cIOS instead. Attempting to install other cIOS on a Wii mini will not work.
{: .notice--warning}
### Requirements
- A Wii U with the Homebrew channel installed on the vWii
- An SD card
- The [d2x cIOS Installer](/assets/files/d2x_cIOS_Installer-vWii.zip).

title: "Installing the Homebrew Channel"
---
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
This page will guide you through the process of installing the Homebrew Channel to the vWii without modding the Wii U side.
#### Section I - booting into Aroma
1. Execute the web browser exploit as [previously explained](wiiu-nand-dumper) but this time, you will need to hold the X button to open the Environment Loader menu.
2. Once you are there, boot into the Aroma enviornemnt by selecting it inside the payload loader.
#### Section II - Installing the Homebrew Channel
1. Launch the vWii Compat Installer on the Wii U menu.
2. Press `A` to install the Homebrew Channel and wait until you see `Install succeeded`. Then press the HOME button to return to the Wii U Menu.
3. Launch vWii (the Wii Menu icon).
- If the installation has succeeded, you should see the Homebrew Channel in your Wii Menu.
You may delete the `wiiu` folder on your SD card if you so choose.
### Required Reading
You can now use the Homebrew Channel to launch Wii homebrew apps.
Note: When installing homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:
```
💾 SD Card
┗ 📁 apps
┣ 📁 AppName1
┃ ┣ 📄 boot.dol
┃ ┣ 📄 meta.xml
┃ ┗ 📄 icon.png
┗ 📁 AppName2
┣ 📄 boot.dol
┣ 📄 meta.xml
┗ 📄 icon.png
```
`AppName1` and `AppName2` are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple `apps` folders inside the `apps` folder itself.
Do not Get confused with the `apps` folder inside of the `wiiu` folder and the `apps` folder on the root of the SD card.

#### Section II - Launching the Exploit
Make sure your Wii U has internet access for this step.
{: .notice--info}
1. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
2. Launch the Internet Browser and navigate to the website `wiiuexploit.xyz`.
3. Click on `Run Exploit!` and hold the B button until you see a screen that says `Please choose your payload:`, this will be necessary for the next steps.
- If your Wii U gets stuck on a white or otherwise frozen screen, wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, reboot the console, [reset the browser's save data](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1507/~/how-to-delete-the-internet-browser-history) and try again.
- If you see the EnvironmentLoader, you did not hold down B long enough. Try again.
#### Section III - NAND Backup
In case anything goes wrong in the later process and your vWii ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.
1. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration:
- Dump SLC: **optional**
- Dump SLCCMPT: **yes**
- Dump MLC: **optional**
- Dump OTP: **yes**
- Dump SEEPROM: **optional**
2. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
3. When the process completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
4. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the `slccmpt.bin` and `otp.bin` files (and if you chose to go with a full backup, `seeprom.bin`, `slc.bin`, and `every mlc.bin.part` file) to your computer.
5. Delete the files from your SD Card to free up space.
6. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
