d2xl cIOS for Wii mini (experimental)

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}

This tutorial will tell you how to install Leseratte's d2xl Wii mini cIOS (custom IOS). This is required if you want to load games with a USB Loader. Some homebrew might work better using cIOS.

If you have a Wii, Install this cIOS instead. Attempting to install this cIOS on a Wii may 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. 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 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 in your USB drive and run it from the Homebrew Channel.

You can now use homebrew such as USB Loader GX. {: .notice--info}
