blueMSX Wii v1.0 (RC) (MSX emu for Wii)

timbrug & mbloemendal have finally released their port of BlueMSX to the Nintendo Wii.

Quote:

The BlueMSX-wii emulator can be started using the homebrew channel. For this purpose, the necessary files (main .dol file, icon.png and meta.xml) are released with this project. The best location for these files will be SD:/apps/bluemsx-wii/.

Except from the main .dol file, the BlueMSX-wii emulator needs some files on the SD-card. Most of the files are embedded in the .dol file and will be placed on your SD-card when the emulator is first run. These files will be placed in the directory SD:/MSX/.

Additional to these files, there needs to be a gamepack. As distributing the rom files gamepack is not 100% legal, these will not be supplied through the google code project.

libwiigui v1.04 (Wii misc)

libwiigui is a GUI library for the Wii, created to help structure the design of a complicated GUI interface, and to enable an author to create a sophisticated, feature-rich GUI. It uses GX for drawing, and makes use of PNGU for displaying images and FreeTypeGX for text. It was designed to be flexible and is easy to modify – don’t be afraid to change the way it works or expand it to suit your GUI’s purposes! If you do, and you think your changes might benefit others, please share them so they might be added to the project!

Changes:

* Rewritten ogg player – fixed a crashing bug
* Improved text rendering performance
* Improved logic for option browser and file browser classes
* Onscreen keyboard class improvements
* GuiText: Added SetScroll and SetWrap and changed behavior of SetMaxWidth
* Other minor GUI logic corrections and code cleanup
