Davebaol D2X cIOS Best cIOS To Use

Download: D2X cIOS Installer

You will need ios236 installed with ios236 installer for this installer.

1.Download Extract (should be SD:/apps/d2x installer/boot.dol)
2.Load HBC and load The D2X Installer
3.On first screen chose an IOS 236
4.Select D2X version
5.Chose the base IOS
6.Pick the slot(each time you chose the same slot the installation will overwrite)
7.Use the D-Pad to select Network or Wad Installation(if wad point to your SD)
Keep the cIOS above 200 and check your loader can use that slot.

Add new Modules for cIOS

Since d2x cIOS Installer v2.0, it is possible to add cIOS without having to compile sources !
This new functionality can be very useful for installing beta versions of cIOS or even create "hybrid" cIOS such as the cIOS d2x vX but with the EHCI and ES module vY.

To do this, you do not really need any programming skills apart from reading a .xml file and rename things.
So, to add a cIOS to the list, in addition to those already present, you have to grab the modules (file format .app) of the cIOS you want to build (look at ModMii's sources), place them in the right place on the SD/USB device and edit CIOSMAPS.xml file.

In binaries, you will see a file named sampleCIOSMAPS.xml which is actually the "map" of the cIOS v6 d2x (a kind of installation guide for d2x cIOS Installer).
Once opened with an XML editor, it's scary but there are only a few lines we are interested in:
- <ciosgroup name="D2X v6" version="21006" basescount="7"> Here the tag name indicates the name that appears on the d2x cIOS Installer and version the final revision of cIOS (max = 65535). You can edit these two tags as you wish.
- Then enter the spoiler of the IOS Base you want to install, for example IOS Base 37, I open the spoiler <ios base="37" version="5662" contentscount="22" modulescount="7">
- Inside, the only lines that interest us are those that contain the tags module example: <content id="0x26" module="EHCI21006" tmdmoduleid="3"/>. If I want to change the EHCI module, I can simply change its name.
If you put multiples new cIOS, dont forget to change the line <ciosmaps ciosgroupscount="1"> on the top !
- Once the changes are done, save and rename the file sampleCIOSMAPS.xml in CIOSMAPS.xml

- So now, let us see what to do with modules (.app files). The directory tree to use for storing modules mainly depends on the attribute name of the tag ciosgroup involved in the CIOSMAPS.xml. As an example, for a cIOS whith :

<ciosgroup name = "D2X vX beta1" ...

I have to put its modules (.app files) in the directory :

<directory of d2x cIOS installer> \ D2X \ vX \ beta1 \

Putting a space in the attribute name necessarily gives rise to a new directory
If name="D2XvXbeta1" then the directory will be <directory of d2x cIOS installer>\ D2XvXbeta1 \

- Verify that the modules' names match with those that you put in the CIOSMAPS.xml
- It's over, the d2x cIOS Installer should see your new cIOS and if the modules are misplaced, he will tell you

added ios236 installation due to the d2x installer throwing es-decrypt error (-1017) with ios36 or ios236 from mmm or previous d2x versions ...

[JoostinOnline]

added ios236 installation due to the d2x installer throwing es-decrypt error (-1017) with ios36 or ios236 from mmm or previous d2x versions ...

Is that a problem with the IOS or the installer? If it's the IOS, I might need to replace the patched IOS36 in my IOS guide.

[Cile]

i think its the installer...

[stomp_442]

I think you two need a new Wii, I've use the installer multiple times, installing different IOS's to differents slots and the same slot, and with different bases too, all with no errors.

I wonder why some get errors using the installer?
