Missing a spirit level at home developer Alanceil decided to use the Wiimote as a replacement. Put the Wiimote on a surface you want to use as a reference and press A. This will start a calibration, and afterwards you can put it on a target surface to see its difference in inclination.

Changes:

Chg: Median instead of arithmetic mean is now used to get calibration values, this should increase accuracy.
Chg: Message class now handles text drawing
Add: Internal info on pressing B in the slider box screen
Add: Arc graph showing current tilt

Menu Patcher is an app inspired by Starfall, designed to permanently mod your System Menu. It is open source, and can easily be extended to include new patches.

System Menu patching is VERY DANGEROUS! Not only that, but this program does not check for a specific System Menu version, like Starfall does. This program also uses a guess ‘n check method for installing the patches, which makes it a little less safe to use – It will prompt you, however, if there is more than one possible patch.

This homebrew application will brick your Wii if you misuse it!
