Epic Adventure by Byte Knight is an entirely new Adventure game built from the ground-up featuring 32 rooms / mazes with all-new items and enemies (see picture below). It’s kind of a mixture of Adventure and Lord of the Rings. The goal of the game is “the usual” – get the golden chalice back to your home castle. But first, you must kill the Dragon in order for the chalice to appear in one of three places – the Wizard’s Castle, the Dragon’s Castle, or the Troll’s Cave.
The demo is Level 1 of the game, with all of the items non randomized and easy to find in or near your home castle. Test it out and let the author know what you think!
Changes:
* upgraded graphics
* new torch lighting effect
* one skeleton key to open all castles
* staff for long-range attacks
* amulet makes you invisible to enemies
* you can make the hawk drop objects by sniping him with the staff (if you’re quick enough)
* the hawk will sometimes pick you up if you don’t have any items, and you can control his x-axis while flying.
* when you’re in the same room as the palintir, you’ll move at half-speed.

2H4U, which stands for “Too Hard For You”, is an open source game, and a mix between a Tetris-like game and a wall breaker. It requires good reflexes, coordination, and ambidexters should have some advantages. Will 2H4U be too hard for you?

Yabause Wii is a Sega Saturn emulator for Wii and is the first of its kind as emulating the complex processes of the Sega Saturn is much harder then it looks and now even harder to run it on the limited hardware of the Wii.
Changes:
can adjust decline number (2-17): The higher the number, the faster but some games are unstable while anoter some games work only in the lower number (ex. 2-4) but slower.
adjust for PAL monitor mode when libogc detects VI_PAL mode (but I cannot verify this forever)
fix threading
some minor fixes and changes

Caanoo
OhBoy is a Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulator for Caanoo, initially made by UBYTE. Extract the OhBoy folder and .ini file to the “game” directory on your SD. This special version adds a “noscale” option, to let you play the games in original size (160×144 pixel).
Release notes from DkSoul:
This version still doesn’t allow roms inside zip files, so I compiled a new version with the most recent code from both ohboy and gnuboy projects.
It’s available here.
