'''''Custom [[IOS]]''''', aka cIOS, are third-party IOS files that are installed on the wii. Most cIOS's are used for pirating. They are often made by using a base IOS with desirable features, such as USB support or Rockband microphone support and modified to install to a different slot such as [[Bootmii|254]] and then add extra features, such as restoring the [[trucha bug]] and adding piracy related functions.
