The MLlib (or Minishlink’s Library) is a simple library to develop on Nintendo Wii. Technically, it’s a wrapper of libogc and others librairies. Coding with this lib on Wii should be way easier and faster now!

Features:

Proper code so that it’s nice to see;
Easy for all;
Friendly functions;
Handles drawing;
Sprite system;
Handles PNG images;
Special effects;
Write graphically text (TTF font support);
MP3 system;
MOD system;
Input (Wiimote, Nunchuk, and extensions…) system;
And much more…

Compatible with DevkitPPc r22, libogc 1.8.6 and libfat 1.0.8.

SDL MAME Wii is an Arcade Emulator based on SDLMAME. Many games for early arcade boards can be played with varying amounts of success.

Changes:

– Compiled with libogc 1.8.6, USB loading should be faster now if you have IOS58
– Changed video code around. Most games get a speedup or remain the same from this, but at least one (frogger) is slower for some reason.
– Widescreen support
– Fixed some games giving duplication errors and causing the emulator to exit

OpenDolBoot is an application created during the development of Priiloader. It creates an app file out of the given Dol file. the resulted app file will be bootable by IOS/es_LaunchTitle and can be used in a title.

Newo Shooter is a rail shooter in a third-person and first-person 3D perspective. The player must navigate his spacecraft, through environments while various enemies (spaceships, robots, creatures, etc.) attack him. Enemies drop various power-ups (free lives, 50% health, weapon upgrades, shields) to help the player. The player receives a score on each level based on how many enemies destroyed. At the end of each level there is a boss that the player must defeat before progressing to the next level.

Changes:

* 2 levels (City, Asteroid Field), Score, Level Start, Title screen and ending screen
* Enemies now drop power ups ( yellow = weapon upgrade (4), green=health, white=free life, white=useless )
* Still no Models, Sounds or Music
* Purple Mid-Boss (stops stage until killed)
* Basic particle effects
* GRRLIB plasma example in background.
* New destructible objects, Ground plain, clouds, grass, smoke animation, gravity, death spiral
* New HUD: Your health bar is Green. Enemy health meter is the color of the enemy and is in the center.
* Blue box is end of stage marker
* Improved frame rate, added on screen counter

Engine02 is a script-driven, multiplatform 2D game engine with builds for DOS, Windows, Linux, Intel/PPC MacOS, PSP, and Wii.

Changes:

* Added “Repository” support. Special files placed in the “repo” folder allow E02 to connect to other download resources. This makes possible the creation of public and private listings for third-party games, and private listings for local transfers between platforms (when already running an http server). This feature is not displayed when only the default repository file is found

-BugFixes-

* When a script line was followed by whitespace (space or tab), the whitespace would not be removed from the end of the loaded string. This would cause problems especially with filenames that were followed by comments, as the filename used would contain the space/tab characters and fail to load on some platforms. Trailing whitespace on strings is now ignored, eliminating this problem (comments can be used after strings, and the strings themselves will be terminated after the last non-whitespace character)

* Mode 5 for the Set_PaletteAlpha_Range Script Command attempted to set the global palette rather than the target palette, and when intentionally setting the Global Palette, the alpha was not properly applied. This Command should now function properly for mode 5, and for applying an alpha to the Global Palette colors

* The Dim_Palette_Range Script Command did not test for component value overflow when “Dimming” up, which caused them to “wrap around” and become the wrong colors. Using this Command to brighten the palette (a “Percentage” value greater than 128) should now work properly

* The “Installed Games” section of the menu would crash when no games were installed due to a test on an array entry for an array whose length matched the number of games (in this case, 0). The “Installed Games” menu will now display correctly under this condition, reporting no installed games and displaying only the option to return to the Main Menu

Create a Nintendo DS or GBA game with a winter or holiday theme. Be it Wack-a-Santa or nuclear snowball fights with diminutive elves we want to see your wintery creations.

Rules:

* Original content (Satire will be considered fair use).
* All entries must run on hardware, the hardware being one of:
o Nintendo DS
o Nintendo Gameboy Advance
o Nintendo Wii or Gamecube (seperately judged!)
* Multiple entries are encouraged but only one prize will be awarded to any individual / group.
* You are of course welcome to work in teams and split your prize how you see fit.
* No emulators, media players, or straight ports of old games please (e.g. porting quake to DS will not get you many points but porting quake, designing your own winter level and letting me walk around as Santa Claus and blast reindeer would be cool).
* Judging will be at the biased discretion of the participating judges but originality and entertainment will be the main focus (and technical splendor of course). Make me laugh and I will forgive your coder “art”.
* Entries will be awarded points and the scores averaged between all participating judges. These points will be assigned based on the following judging criteria: Competition Judging Matrix
* Submissions will be accepted at anytime and can be resubmitted and updated as necessary until the deadline

Deadline is March 21th 2011 (which ever time zone you prefer, as long as it is still March 21th somewhere in the world)!

Changes:

* Fixed Title Booting on some Wiis (issue 130)
* Fixed the installer for HBC
* Fixed the SHA1 hash production while updating
* Fixed Online updating changelog
