LibELM v1.0 (Wii misc)

LibELM is a FAT driver, like libfat. However, LibELM is based on the amazing ELM FAT driver by ChaN. LibELM does NOT use a devoptab and as such, does not use the stdio functions (fopen, fread, etc.), but uses it’s own. You can find all the information on how to use LibELM here: http://elm-chan.org/fsw/ff/00index_e.html

LibELM is Wii only, at the moment, and supports SD card, USB stick, and should support SDGecko, but SDGecko has not been tested.

Homebrew Browser v0.3.5 (Wii Application)

The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don’t need to take your SD card out. You don’t even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want.

No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn’t include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file!

Changes:

Added repositories functionality
Redid SD/USB mounting method so it keeps trying to at least mount one of these
Cleaned up the text being printed a bit

Dop-IOS MOD v2 (Wii Application)

Dop-IOS MOD is a modification of the application Dop-IOS that allows you to choose which IOS you would like to use to install other IOSs (trucha bugged or not).

While the original Dop-IOS let you install other IOS, it used IOS 249 to do it. Many people felt a certain resentment toward that on which the authors have no comment.

A better solution for all users would’ve been to allow users to select which IOS they use to install other IOSs. Enter: Dop-IOS MOD.

Changes:

– List of selectable IOSs is now grabbed from the Wii’s NAND meaning you can no longer select IOSs that may not exist
– More sanity checks meaning you can no longer select IOSs that don’t contain the trucha bug

ScummVM v1.0.0 (RC1) (Wii misc)

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

As this is a test release, here is a link you might need: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing/1.0.0

The list of changes which are prepared for you in this release is quite long. The most outstanding ones are:

Added support for Discworld
Added support for Discworld 2 – Missing Presumed …!?
Added support for Return to Zork
Added support for Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2
Added support for The Manhole
Added support for Rodney’s Funscreen
Added support for Cruise for a Corpse
Improved GUI vastly: added quick search, introduced per-game options, improved mass-add dialog
Broken Sword 1 & 2 now run with original cutscenes
Increased The 7th Guest microscope puzzle difficulty to match original
Major improvements to PSP, PS2 and WinCE ports
New port for GP2X Wiz handheld game console.

iiii v2.1 (Wii Game)

The rules are simple. You take turns with another player to drop red or black pieces into the board. Pieces fall in from the top and slide down to stack up on top of each other. The goal is to get 4 of your pieces touching in a straight line (diagonals also count) before your opponent does. This is similar to Tic-Tac-Toe.

This is a 2 player game. Unless you have a split personality, you will need to install a second player (not included) somewhere near your Wii.

Changes:

– fixed the file loading from SD. again. was broken since HBC 1.0.2
– added USB support (?)
– added gamecube controller support
– bunch of behind the scenes changes
