cIOS

{% include toc title="Tabel de Conținut" %}

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.

If you have a Wii mini, use this guide for cIOS instead. Attempting to install other cIOS on a Wii mini will not work. {: .notice--warning}

Instrumente necesare

• A Wii
• An SD card or USB drive
• d2x cIOS Installer

Ensure that if you are using an SD card, the lock switch is in the unlocked position, otherwise you will not be able to select the correct options in the installer. {: .notice--warning}

Section I - Downloading (Only required if your Wii doesn't have Internet)

If your Wii has an Internet connection, you may skip this section.
However, If you encounter any errors like tcp_read timeout and net_gethostbyname failed:, this will allow the Wii to skip the downloading step. {: .notice--warning}
