Wizznic is an implementation of the arcade-classic Puzznic, initially written for the GP2x Wiz, Linux and Windows. All Puzznic levels are removed from the main pack, and there are now 82 levels, most which are totally new and finally there’s music! The game has been ported to Caanoo by Riviera71.

Stay and run away from evil Hamsters! How long can you survive?

PreFiix by Yatsukomi is a MOD of Priiloader. Like Priiloader, PreFiix comes before the System Menu in the boot sequence. Use at own risk!

PreFiix can:

* Patch System Menu on the fly like Priiloader to use patchs like enable bannerbomb V2 on 4.3.
* Protect the Wii from most bricks.
* Launch other than the System Menu as The Homebrew Channel or a homebrew installed in memory.

atari2600land has updated his single and two player simultaneous play variant of a very well known Russian block game.

Release notes:

I think I fixed that one. I tried cleaning out four lines and it worked. Also, in this version, you can change the colors from black and white to color (and back and forth) during the game, too, not just the title screen. I don’t know why people haven’t commented on my little surprise if you get 100 lines or more in 1 player A-Type. It’s basically the same thing that happens in Tetris for Game Boy: A rocket launches (only mine says “USA” on it, although we don’t launch rockets any more. How sad…) and the same music from the Game Boy version of Tetris plays. If you spot any bugs, as usual, please let me know.

DS Pack by Copper is an Arcade emulator for Pacman and all possible related variants. The original Arcade ROMs are required, but not bundled with the download. As the game is still subject to copyright, there is also no way for us to provide the ROMs.

Changes:

* Correction for zigzag / zigzag2 (Thanks Another World)
