Step 3 (Patching IOS 249 and 250)

Now on your Wii, launch D2X cIOS Installer

Wait for the app to load. Read the text on the welcome screen (if it interests you) and press A to continue.

You will now see the main configuration screen.

There are many different configurations you can make when installing cIOSs. This guide merely shows our own recommendations, based on the experience of the general community. They should work fine for 99% of all cases.

This guide will install the following cIOSs:

cIOS 249 base 56 v10 beta53-alt

cIOS 250 base 57 v10 beta52 How to install (don’t press A unless told!): Your cursor ( > ) will be on the cIOS d2x Version. Change the version to v10 beta53 using the D-PAD (left/right).

) will be on the cIOS d2x Version. Change the version to using the D-PAD (left/right). Move down, and change the IOS Base to 56 .

. Move down again, and change the IOS slot to 249 . In some cases it may warn you that the current (c)IOS or stub will be overwritten. You can ignore this warning.

. If you want, you can change the revision under the fourth option, though this doesn’t directly change the result. This revision is only used by the Wii when checking updates. You can set the version to maximum (65535) to prevent any future updates from overwriting it (the installer can still overwrite it). This option does not appear on the WiiU installer.

You are now ready to install, so press A to continue. You will land on an overview with the available cIOS slots. The slot you just selected should be blinking. Several other slots may be highlighted in red or purple, depending on your console and possible previous softmods. Press A to start the installation. Wait for the progress to complete. It may take a while, especially for the online installation. Once it finishes, you will land on another IOS overview screen. Your freshly installed cIOS should be highlighted in a green color. On the WiiU version, you will get a simple confirmation message instead. Press the A button to go back to the configuration screen. Next, you want to configure the second cIOS. This time, use the following settings: d2x version: v10 beta52 (If you are not interested in NAND emulation, you can choose v10 beta53 here as well)

(If you are not interested in NAND emulation, you can choose v10 beta53 here as well) cIOS base: 57

cIOS slot: 250 .

. cIOS revision: 65535 Again, press A to install it and wait for the process to finish. Once everything is installed, press B to exit the application.

F.A.Q



Q : Where can I find roms?

A : Now when it comes to roms that are N64, GBA, NES etc. You have to find them on the internet, when it comes down to GC and Wii games. Dump them yourself!

Q : What is Priiloader?

A : It adds a boot sequence to the Wii that makes it so that when you hold “Reset + Power On” on your Wii you will be booted into a menu where you can customize Wii settings and boot into all your channels.

Q : Can you possibly link me to the community?

Q : Wow, this F.A.Q is pathetic, where can I get my questions answered?
