What does the CIOS allow me to do that is different from a normal IOS? what features are there?
If your familure with PSP hacking, this is basicly a ‘downgrader’ application, which was around before the Pandora phoneomon. Very useful, but still please accept that fact that this is ‘at your own risk’ It sure works, but dont be foolsih and turn off the Wii when in the middle of downgrading…unless you like a big white brick.
I no what the downgrader does i just want to know what the Custom IOS has that is better than a normal IOS.
well what the cIOS actually does is basically unlock more of the wii’s potential, so to speak… see with the cIOS that was first released, came a genesis emulator that could read from a dvd in an unmodded wii… this is a huge step in the homebrew(and unfortunately piracy as well) scene.
Ok thanks so it basically like CFW on the PSP
basically. but at the moment its a dumbed down version because more features will be added later im sure.
Wrong. You still needed a modded wii – just the DVD’s could then be unencrypted.

you need to use the twilight hack to download it you really need it because it wont work with the hbc
