Q2Rev (Proof Of Concept Preview) (Wii Game Port)

A port of id Software’s Quake II for the Nintendo Wii, straight from the source code at ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source/quake2.zip

This is only a proof-of-concept release, nothing official. It’s being actively developed; expect heavy changes before the final release.

It will likely crash after some minutes of play, due to unfinished memory-handling code. Still, for these minutes, it’s fully playable; with sound & Wiimote support as can be experienced on Q1Rev.

Controls are similar to Q1Rev ones, with the exception of the “C” button on the Nunchuk controller, used now for crouching.

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

Bannerbomb v1.08 (Alpha) (Wii Application)

The exploit dubbed as BannerBomb created by Comex is the only public way to load homebrew applications on a System Menu 4.0 Wii. The exploit was released on the 5th April 2009 through the IRC Channel #Wiidev. The exploit works by using a malformed banner to crash the wii loading the boot.dol placed in the root of the SD card. Currently this exploit does not allow the Homebrew channel to be installed due to the exploit that was used being blocked in 4.0. However, it can still be installed through BannerBomb on System Menu version 3.X.

AnyTitle Deleter MOD v5 (Wii Application)

AnyTitle Deleter MOD is an unofficial mod by Red Squirrel of tona’s AnyTitle Deleter.

It keeps all original tona’s AnyTitle Deleter functions but it allows the program to show the real names of titles instead of just ID numbers, making it easier to select which ones you actually want to delete.

From MOD v3 it has some new features, as a installed titles backupper, or the possibility to exit rebooting the Wii.

Changes:

– Changed the database reading function: now it reads the database.txt file only ONE time (at program beginning). In this way it will not be loaded every time you access to titles list pages (increasing program’s time and space efficiency).
– Added a function to read title names directly from NAND: it will be used ONLY when the title name is not found in database.txt (to limit NAND access time). Titles names found in this way (accessing to NAND) will be displayed in the list between square brackets (ex. [GH: World Tour]). WARNING: It works at 100% with all titles based on games (those with Rxx codes) but not all others titles allow the identification of their name by reading from NAND, so there will be yet titles unknown!
– If program uses the NAND to extract title name, it will add the found name to database.txt. In this way the number of readings from the NAND will be always lower.
– Added a function to download database.txt updates directly from your Wii, using network connection!
– Now the program will identify by itself if to return to loader (HBC) or to the System Menu (rebooting console).
– Added a function to backup only UNKNOWN titles to SD (press B after pressing 1 to backup ONLY unknown titles!)
– Re-updated application button configuration: now HOME to exit, 1 to backup all titles list, 1 and then B to backup only UNKNOWN titles and 2 to update database.txt using network connection.
