Bannerbomb v1.05 (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.

Ability to alter the name of the packed WAD from the GUI.
Loading a TMD for info displays more information, such as what IOS a title requires.
Textbox output is a bit cleaner.

Wolfenstein 3D Wii v1.2a (Wii Game Port)

Here comes an updated version of Wolfenstein 3D for the Wii.

Because Wolfenstein 3D is showing swastika’s during ingame, we can not provide any links as it would be against german law. In particular it would be against paragraph 86 StGB “Verbreiten von Propagandamitteln verfassungswidriger Organisationen”.

Allthough this is just an engine port of Wolfenstein 3D, the game itself is still indexed in Germany, where this page is hosted.

Changes:

– Added Gamecube controller and wiimote + nunchuk interfaces to the game
– Rewrote US_ControlPanel’s control menu so these interfaces can be selected in game
– Ditched the US_ControlPanel’s “change view size” menu in favor of a misc options menu
– Added IR sensitivity adjustment to the misc options menu for the wiimote + nunchuk interface
– Added cheat codes to the misc options menu (better than MLI 🙂 )
– Fixed the power button on wiimote so it turns off the wii ingame
– Added variable strafe speeds which is needed for gcn/nunchuk analog sticks
