Yabause Wii (Unofficial Alpha 1) (Saturn emu for Wii)

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. Yabause Wii can now run a small number of commercial games at usable speeds (5-10fps) were it is still possible to play the game.

Anguna v0.95 (GBA Game)

Anguna is a Gameboy Advance homebrew game created by Nathan Tolbert, featuring art by Chris Hildenbrand.

It is a short but exciting action-adventure game, reminiscant of the original Legend of Zelda.

Anguna includes:

5 dungeons and a large overworld to explore
Multiple weapons and items including: a sword, bow & arrows, bear traps, dynamite, lantern, magic boots, and more
Many hidden rooms, secrets, and powerups
Lots of interesting enemies and boss monsters

Anguna is available as a free download. To play it, you will either need to play it on a gameboy advance emulator, such as Visual Boy Advance, or write it to a writable gameboy cartridge. Alternatively, you can download a windows installer from here which includes everything you need to play Anguna on windows.

For those that are interested in obtaining a physical cartridge of Anguna to play on their Gameboy Advance, please contact the author, and for the price of the writable cartridge (which varies between $10 and $15 dollars, depending on what is available) plus shipping. It will be written to a cartridge and sent to you.

Changes:

-fixed viewing map in caves would lock up game

Thanks to Nathan Tolbert, the author himself, for the news via http://www.pdroms.de/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=452 where you can also discuss about this marvellous game.

GeeXboX (23-06-2008) (Wii Application)

GeeXboX is a crude prototype of GeeXboX port for Wii. It is based on GC-Linux team’s Wii-Linux-PoC-0.4 and a recent devel version of GeeXboX.

GeeXboX is a free embedded Linux distribution which aims at turning your computer into a so called HTPC (Home Theater PC) or Media Center.

Most functions of WII, including bluetooth/wiimote, DVD, wireless, LAN etc., are not supported by this version, due to limitations of the linux kernel. There are terrible bugs too, which you won’t be able to miss. So please regard this rather as a demo. But expect huge improvements in next release, when GC-Linux team’s latest Linux port becomes available.

Thanks to http://www.nintendomax.com for the news.

textReader v1.0 (Beta 6) (iPhone Application)

This application allows you to read large Text (.txt,.text), Palm Doc (.pdb), Mobipocket (.pdb,.prc,.mobi), Plucker (.pdb), HTML (.htm,.html), and Fiction Book (.fb2) files quickly and efficiently on the iPhone/Touch. This application doesn’t have the fancy formatting of ruBooks or Books.app, but it can quickly load and display large text files that currently cause Books.app or other UI Text View/Web View based apps problems. If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.

Note: Books.app http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/ and ruBooks http://colel.info/rubooks/ provide a formatted display of text and images. If you are willing to break up your book into smaller chapters they may also be options.
