No longer will you have to take your SD card out to load the files or transfer the files from your computer to the Wii or even use your computer. Once you install a homebrew application and you no longer want it on your SD card, you can delete it as simple as that!

libwiisprite is a C++ sprite library written for the Wii which utilises GX for all it’s graphical operations, meaning the GPU is used to accelerate graphics.
libwiisprite aims to make developing Wii homebrew simple and fun with better graphical results than currently existing libraries.
libwiisprite is currently under heavy development, but this version is a semi-stable version allowing most of the proposed functionality of the library.
Currently 24bit and 32bit PNGs are the only supported image format. We are working on allowing images to be loaded from compiled-in texture data and even more formats.
The library comes with full Doxygen documentation to help get development started. It is also available online: http://feesh.braingravy.co.uk/libwiisprite/
Changes:
Image now supports loading from a buffer. Now you don’t have to specify a path, but you can use a raw2c converted file or your own buffer of a png file. The documentation has a whole page dedicated to it.
Quad visibility check fixed. Thanks to crediar for finding the bug.
GameWindow now is a tad faster at initializing. Thanks go to shagkur.
Updated spritetest to load one image from buffer.
Several small bugfixes for the library to make it even more stable.

FTPii is an FTP server for the Wii, giving people easy access to their SD cards without having to eject it from the Wii itself.
You will need an FTP client in order to connect to your Wii, but once you have got one set up, all you have to do is use wiiload to send FTPii to your Wii and once the network has initialised it’s good to go.
Release notes:
Fixed MKD bug that caused working directory to change to new directory automatically. Added no-op SITE CHMOD command to prevent some FTP from displaying skip/abort/retry type prompts.

MissileCommand is a clone of the retro game “Missile Command”.
Changes:
Fixed a crash bug related to split missiles not being cleaned up properly.
Added text, using Beardface’s FreeType With Libwiisprite. The font I’m using is Ben Nathan’s Elements, which is available for free from Urban Fonts. Beardface, consider yourself attributed!
Changed background music to Kenny Beltrey – Hydrate, another Kahvi track, because I was getting tired of listening to the old one over and over.
Sped up enemy missile speed by a factor of two.
Added an interface for writing level scripts. This is what enables the title screen, game over screen, etc.
Moved the file hosting to WarpedFlash’s dropbox. Thanks WarpedFlash!
