Supersonic Wii – Winter Edition (Wii Game)

Supersonic Wii is a music rhythm game where the player needs to hit buttons in sync with the music being played. Based on the gameplay of Amplitude (and its DS homebrew sibling, AmplituDS), and equipped with all-new Wintery stages, you play one part of the song at a time (focus on one instrument at a time, for example drums) until you’ve played it enough to continue on and try another. The music for each instrument track only plays if you are successful at playing the pattern.

For a more detailed description and gameplay instructions, view the included Readme.txt or check the online readme at http://supersonicwii.com/about

Menu Patcher v1.2 (Wii Application)

Menu Patcher is an app inspired by Starfall, designed to permanently mod your System Menu. It is open source, and can easily be extended to include new patches.

System Menu patching is VERY DANGEROUS! Not only that, but this program does not check for a specific System Menu version, like Starfall does. This program also uses a guess ‘n check method for installing the patches, which makes it a little less safe to use – It will prompt you, however, if there is more than one possible patch.

This homebrew application will brick your Wii if you misuse it!

Hatari Wii v0.0.1 (Atari ST emu for Wii)

Yohanes who released WiiApple has just released an initial version of his port of Hatari an Atari ST emulator for the Nintendo Wii. He reports that it works fine on his Wii and that two other people have tested it – one who reports it runs really slow. Yohanes is asking for people to test it out before he releases a final version.

Some notes

1. You will need USB keyboard to use this emulator
2. Mouse is emulated using Wiimote (A for click), you can also use USB Mouse
3. Press F12 to access the menu (probably i should assign one of the Wiimote key for this),
4. Options can be saved to disk
5. Press home, or alt-q to quit
6. Floppy images can be placed in hatarifd
7. EmuTOS image have been included. With EmuTOS ROM, the green screen flickers a lot. It doesn’t happen with some real Atari ROMs that I tested.
8. Sound works (usually), just enable it through the options

ScummVM (Rev 35894) (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!

Changes:

* fixed a bug in the filesystem backend, tucker is now playable
* startup time for games with many files is way better now. tucker takes ~5s instead of ~15m (and that is not a typo)

This release is a infrequent build from the Subversion trunk.

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

FUSE (Snapshot 2) (Spectrum emu for Wii)

Fuse is the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator by Philip Kendall, an emulator for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, a home computer that was very popular in the 80s.

Changes:

Pretty much untouched port created by Björn, but rebuilt against the Fuse 0.10.0.2
Changed the way menu is navigated, now it’s navigated using Wii Remote in horizontal position, just like in emulation
Fixed toggling the checkboxes in the options – press Right on Wii Remote to toggle the option
This snapshot has been compiled with zlib, so the application now supports .tzx and .rzx
