While cIOS 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.

This guide is only intended for Wii mini users. If you have a Wii, follow this guide instead. {: .notice--warning}

Do not attempt to install a Wii IOS or System Menu on the Wii mini. Doing so will likely brick your console. {: .notice--warning}

This d2x cIOS installer was originally developed for the Wii U's vWii by DaveBaol and custom cIOS was created by Leseratte for the Wii mini. The original download page can be found here. Leseratte's GitHub page can be found here. Please note that this cIOS is still experimental, though no problem with functionality has been reported. {: .notice--info}

Enabling Ethernet

If you wish to use Wiimmfi with Ethernet on a Wii mini, you have to run the Ethernet Enabler Homebrew app made by Fullmetal5. To run it, just unzip it in the apps folder of your USB drive and run it from the Homebrew Channel.

The Wii and Wii mini consoles are only known to work with Ethernet adapters using the AX88772 chip. Please check that the product is compatible before you buy. This one from UGREEN is known to be compatible: Amazon Europe, Amazon US {: .notice--info}
