HiivelyPlay is an AHX/HVL module player with Wiimote and FrontSD support.

HVL is a tracker format based upon the AHX format created in the mid ’90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss. The AHX format was relatively popular, and many songs were created and used in scene productions and games. AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga. HVL offers several improvements on the AHX format.

Changes:

Updated to the latest HivelyTracker replayer
Now has a graphical interface
Point & click with the wiimote
VUMeters

GxGeo is a Neo-Geo Emulator for the Wii based on GnGeo by pepone. GnGeo is coded in C and uses the SDL multimedia library.

Release notes:

– Today I am happy enough with GxGeo to release it, the source code is a mess so I if you’d like it ask me for it – I’d rather not spread messy code and bad examples 🙂
– I have only tested this release on a PAL SDTV but it should fit on an NTSC SDTV, no idea about HDTV hehe
– There are still some sound issues, maybe just with PAL.. I’m not sure, more testing is required
– This release will boot some large ROMs but not all of them will run at full speed – Metal Slug 2 is one of these
– Larger ROMs (Metal Slug 3) will still not load – some kind of paging system is required 🙂
