FTPii is an FTP server for the Wii, giving people easy access to their SD cards without having to eject it from the Wii itself.

You will need an FTP client in order to connect to your Wii, but once you have got one set up, all you have to do is use wiiload to send FTPii to your Wii and once the network has initialised it’s good to go.

Release notes:

Added authentication – can specify a password using directory name or wiiload arg.

PspStates Experiment is a plugin for Dark Alex’s CFW v4.01 M33 1 or 2, which allows INSTANT saving and loading for ANY PSP game.

Changes:

– Fixed important bug in inter-thread code (semaphore wasn’t waiting due to interrupts disabled), that caused the load state to not be completely read in some cases. This caused black screen after state load (unless you just saved that state, in this case state was still in ram), or even worse, game not working properly due to partial load.
– Added states per game basis. The controls are slightly different: old controls now do a local savestate/loadstate of the game, while pressing additionally select button will save/load a global state. See instructions for more info.
– Fixed bug that caused normal sleep mode waking up inmediately.
– UMD discs and isos in normal UMD mode are now supported. However, they require to nullify umdcache, by flashing one file, read the instructions below.

Note: Remember that states of the old version are all globals, and you need to press select addtionaally. Also, remember that when doing the load state of a state saved in previous version, the plugin in ram after the load will be the old one, so it is probably better to discard old save states.

– Modification of some element of the decor (the colours of dialogues being not changed through lack of time at this time of hollydays)
– Better precision of the attacks of the hollows: consequently hollows would not miss you any more
– Modification of the PIC1.png

FluBBa released a NeoGeo Pocket Color emulator for GBA.

Release notes:

New emulator! Woho! Well just like the Wonder Swan emulator this is really slow. It doesn’t support any kind of saving so some games won’t work correctly or at all. Other games have graphical glitches and are really slow. Some games doesn’t work and it’s really slow. It is indeed slow but there are a few things you can do to speed it up a little bit. You can turn off the Z80 for some games (experiment when to turn it on/off) and you can lower the clock of the TLCS-900 cpu.

*First release most things implemented except flash/save..

– added the chinese language (finally, it wasnt easy)
– Reduced the height size back to 110 px again (v11 went back to 113 px, sorry)

– Added the source-code in Flash and a separated FLA with the weather animations, just in case you’d like to use them in any other software.
