READ THIS FIRST
Add a new page d2x can actually be inserted into many slots and we are going to make
use of that. There are also different versions of d2x that can be
installed into any of the slots and these versions are determined by the
new page base IOS used. For maximum compatibility and ease of updating, this
tutorial now gives you the following setup:
edit this panel
Slot 248 - Base 56 - Compatibility with most games and slightly faster
read timing. Definitely use this for games with microphones and Wii
Speak.
Slot 247 - Base 57 - Compatibility with many games. Definitely use
this with Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Note that the 249 slot is not actually used in our installation. This is
the most common slot you will see in other tutorials (and it used to be
used in this tutorial). However, if installed there, discs with 4.2 and 4.3
updates will still ask you to update, even if you are already there.
Installing to the alternate slots means you can still play your discs
without them messing up your USB Loading setup!
Using these slots means that you must also do the meta.xml steps
of the USB Loader instructions.
Feel free to experiment with other slots and bases. They won't hurt
your Wii and you can reinstall any base over any slot at any time.

SD Card
What to download
d2x cIOS Installer v2.2 or higher from this page.
v2.2 can be found via this link.
NOTE: v3.0 is currently not recommended but later
versions seem fine.
If your Wii is not connected to the Internet, you need to use
NUS Downloader to get the following files:
Download IOS56 v5661 with Title ID 0000000100000038
with the Pack WAD option switched on to get IOS56-64-
v5661.wad
Download IOS57 v5918 with Title ID 0000000100000039
with the Pack WAD option switched on to get IOS57-64-
v5918.wad
Installation procedure
1. Unrar the rar file and copy the contents (the d2x cIOS Installer
vX.X folder where X.X is the version number) to sd:/apps
Thus, you should now have a file called 'sd:/apps/d2x
cIOS Installer vX.X/boot.dol' and some other files in the
same directory
2. If your Wii is not connected to the Internet, copy IOS56-64-
v5661.wad and IOS57-64-v5918.wad to sd:/
3. Insert the SD card in your Wii and start Homebrew Channel then
the "D2x cIOS Installer" app
4. Press the A button when prompted at the start screen
5. Choose IOS236 for the IOS to use for the installation with
left/right then push A (it should be selected by default)
If you have a different cIOS already installed, you could
choose that here instead.
If you don't have IOS236, then pay more attention to the
"What you should install first" section above.
6. We are now going to install d2xv6 into IOS248 with base 56
using the following substeps:
1. Select the latest version of D2X for cIOS
As of the 2.2 installer, the latest version is v6 and
should be selected by default
2. Select 56 for the cIOS base
3. Select 248 for the cIOS slot
If you have followed this tutorial before, the
installer will tell you there is another IOS there. It
is safe to overwrite it.
4. Push A to accept
5. Let the installation complete
6. Press the A button to go back to the menu
7. We are now going to install d2xv6 into IOS247 with base 57
using the following substeps:
1. Select the latest version of D2X for cIOS
2. Select 57 for the cIOS base
3. Select 247 for the cIOS slot
If you have followed this tutorial before, the
installer will tell you there is another IOS there. It
is safe to overwrite it.
4. Push A to accept
5. Let the installation complete
6. Press the B button to exit

move on with other steps in the tutorial.
Updating or reinstalling d2x
In order to update or reinstall d2x, just do these steps again. Also, if
you haven't done so before, perform the meta.xml steps of the USB
Loader page as they are required for this IOS setup.
Something went wrong. What do I do?
Don't panic. Make a backup of your Wii with BootMii if you are
scared.
Ensure you followed the instruction fully and placed files where
you were told to put them. Do not assume anything.
Some people have reported issues with network installation
starting, but not completing correctly. If your errors are
occurring with network installs, try the non-network method.
FAQ
What are the other bases/IOS slots for?
Some of them might have better compatibility on future
games. For now, base 56 and 57 are the only versions
you need.
How do I reinstall a different version of d2x?
Just follow the procedure again.
Is this method safe for LU64/65 Wiis? I thought they needed a
special procedure.
Yes it is safe. They used to require a special procedure
which is now obsolete. Go here to see the old method.
Configurable USB Loader is giving me an error stating IOS249
is a stub. What's wrong?
You need to do the meta.xml steps within the
Configurable USB Loader instructions
What Next?
To get further compatibility with peripherals and hard drives, you
may install Hermes' IOS222/223
You are now ready to install USB Loader
