Thanks to http://lostsite.altervista.org/wiz/?p=1810 for the news.
Release notes:
Hey,
I just did another port. This time it’s Guitars On Fire previously available for Nintendo Wii, which lets you play Frets On Fire songs.
I’ve implemented a Wiz OpenGL/ES renderer, removed multiplayer game modes and resized some of the graphics (which otherwise couldn’t be loaded onto the Wiz GPU). Sadly some screens really suffer from the screen and the font texture reduction.
I’ve not tried many songs, but i recommend to play slow songs with few notes played at the same time, otherwise it’s almost impossible to hit them and the framerate drops down to a slideshow, too.
