What is a CISO file?
CISO is a format used to store disk images. This is a file that is identical to the ISO format, but only stores the data needed to restore the disk. It is a compressed format that also allows you to encrypt your data with passwords.
CISO files are mainly associated with Ninetendoo Wii game disc images. They can also be used by this console's emulators. Wii Backup Fusion is often used to handle these files.

How to open CISO files
If you cannot open the CISO file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports CISO among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the CISO file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the CISO format files
The inability to open and operate the CISO file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Wii Compressed Game Image file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a CISO file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the CISO file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the CISO from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the CISO format
- The CISO file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the CISO file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a CISO file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the CISO file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the CISO file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the CISO file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.CISO) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected CISO file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the CISO file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. CISO) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
