PDnoo (PD-Anywhere for Caanoo) is a bundle of PDA (Pure Data Anywhere) and a proof of concept frontend written in BennuGD.

PDa is a clone of the computer music system Pure Data (Pd, for short) that runs on Personal Digital Assistants (PDA’s). Pure Data is a computer music language, that is widely used around the world and resembles MAX/MSP (another commercial computer music system). Pd is free software, and so is PDa. PDa has basically the same functionality as Pd. There are a few differences though. For general information follow the links to the different sites that talk about Pd in the webring.

SaveGame Manager GX by dj_skual allows you to extract/install SaveGames and Miis from/to your Wii; data.bin files not supported. It allows savegames to be copied from the Wii to an SD card, including savegames that cannot normally be copied from the system menu. It is a modification of the Savegame Manager from Waninkoko. Unlike Savegame Manager, Savegame Manager GX has a wii-like user interface.

Changes:

* Added ListMode to NandMiiBrowser and NandSaveBrowser (Issue 127)
* Updated to newest ehcmodule by rodries (thx!)
* Added necessary source code to support both USB ports at once and copying files from one to another (WORKS ONLY WITH HERMES). It is disabled right now because of weird crash caused by the ehcimodule when copying from one usb port to another which can corrupt partitions. Will be enabled when the issue is resolved. Right now only usb port 0 is active.
* Added use of the internal Wii System Menu font (thx to giantpune and r-win)
* Changed default Font Scale to 0.95 to fit with the new font. If you disabled the system font, you should set scale factor to 1.000
* Properly sync video after flush to avoid possible green flash
* Using new app_booter (see below)
* Moved argument command line also to mem2 to avoid overwrite of it
* Reload back to entry ios when starting homebrew instead of starting it in cIOS
* Converted every 4 spaces to a tab to make the source consistent on those

Without Escape by PacoChan is a point & click adventure inspired in Resident Evil and Silent Hill, although there are no monsters. The main objective is to escape from your house since it’s happening a lot of weird things. The game is only in Spanish for now, but it has multi-language support. It would be nice if someone could do an English translation.
