Win2X is an alternative frontend for the Wiz, that points in improving users experience over the default Wiz frontend.

Changes:

I have updated Win2X to version 2.1.

Unfortunately, I’ll be off for some time, so this is my last contribution to Win2X(and maybe the WIZ).I would like to thank you all for your feedback and your precious time and I hope you enjoy Win2X!

Corbin released a small test program for the Wiz, you can test joystick and music functionality.

Quote:

This is my first little Wiz program. It is a simple SDL_Joystick test. I made some GIMP graphics for it and added music to test SDL_Mixer as well.

Feel free to download it and check out the source. I hope anyone getting started with Wiz development or SDL might find this helpful.
