WiiSX r57 (WIP) (PSX emu for Wii)

Emu_kidid, Sepp256 and TehPola are working on a PlayStation emulator for Nintendo Wii.

Quote:

Emukidid (and acolytes) has updated its port emulator playstation pcsx on Wii, with a big novelty, the sound. The novelty still seriously optimization, so it’s still very unstable.

The emulator is still far from perfect, the sound is often a crackle where you can sometimes guess the music and sound effects.

Thanks to www.nintendomax.com for the news.

WiiDoom v0.4 HBC (Wii Game Port)

Steve Corey updated his port of PrBoom to the Nintendo Wii. PrBoom is a cross-platform version of the classic 3D first person shooter Doom from id Software.

Changes:

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for testers. We’ve verified that this new package works great with the Homebrew Channel, so I’ve updated the zip file and put it out on the Google Code site (it’s still 0.4, since only the packaging changed). Thanks to everyone giving me such detailed info on the issue, I got it fixed much faster than I thought I would.
