Geckoloader v0.0.3 (Wii Application)

Geckoloader is a native Wii application which helps you to load and execute Wii homebrew binaries in the easiest and fastest way possible. It acts as a server which will receive binaries directly using a USB Gecko adapter. A client tool to transfer such files is included.

Changes:

a gamecube pad isn’t required anymore, the wii reset button is used to confirm the flash process
the loader code is executed straight away if it has been flashed before (no interaction required)
.elf file support thanks to tmbinc
the stub doesn’t overwrite the globals anymore, fixed by WinterMute
a received binary is now written to MEM2 before relocating
ported the client to win32 (binary included)
the client now uses default device names on linux and os x
the audio and dsp subsystems are initialized on reloading (no more annoying noise)

oXo brings us this fine Nintendo DS homebrew release called DSBall.

You must guide the bouncing ball save trough the level, that’s it – if there wouldn’t be obstacles and holes 😉

Simplistic Poker Tournament Clock (NDS Application)

nczempin made a simplistic clock for Poker tournaments. It allows you to set a time per round (in minutes), and when that time has passed, it will emit a noise (shamelessly stolen from wintermute’s libnds sound example). It can also pause/go, and change the current level, reset, and do your washing.

Discard Em All v0.2 (NDS Game)

This is a card game where you have to get rid of all your cards before the computer does.

How to play:

Each arrow defines the direction (way) of the pile : an up arrow means you have to put cards with superior value (4 then 5 then 6 …) and a down arrow inferior value (6 then 5 then 4 …)

There are 2 bonuses cards : Joker and Reverse.
The first one can be played on any card but you can only play the same color on it
The second can be played on a card of the same color and reverses the direction of the pile. Then you can only play card of the same color on it

Concerning cards number, 0 comes after 12 and 12 comes before 0

In order to play this game, you only need the stylus to drag cards. The menu works the same as the game : drag the card where you want to go.
