The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don’t need to take your SD card out. You don’t even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want.

No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn’t include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file!

Note: Not all applications/games are included yet. They will be added over time.

Added homebrews:

Barrage v1.0, Box2D Balls v1.0, DrawingBox v1.0b2, ExistenzE v1.0, Jewel Quest v1.0, MiniMP3 Player v0.2, Missile Command v0.5a, MTP v2.0, PlanetHively v1.0, RayTracer v1.0, Gamecube Saver v0.1, WiiBServer v0.1, Wiihttpd v0.0.2, wiilight v1.0, WiiMotionDemo v1.5, Wii Web Server v0.74 Alpha and WiiWhiteboard v0.2b

Emilio Bool released a piece of code how to control the Wii Light.

Notes from Emilio:

Some people have been asking for the code to control the wii’s light so here it is.

It’s more of an example for anyone to understand what is going on.

It tricks your eyes into thinking you are seeing changes in light intensity, but actually it is just being turned on and off too quickly.

Whatever, here it comes the example.

Release notes from Mindcry:

I started to port SDL to the Wii only to see that the guys at devkitpro already had a partially working GC version. I just played around with it here and there. The code for sdl sound i borrowed somewhere from the SDL mailinglist, unfortunately it isn’t working properly. I havn’t yet found the time to play around with sound, i just hoped it would work 😛
