WiiLife is an implementation of Conway’s Game of Life for Wii. It lets you watch a random population of cells evolve and die. You can zoom in for a better look and scroll around. If you get bored, you can create an new random population.

Changes:

icon.png and meta.xml added to .zip
Speed can now be slowed down and speed up again (starting speed is maximum speed at the moment)
Initial pattern changed to Gosper’s Glider Gun
Fewer living cells in random populations

The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don’t need to take your SD card out. You don’t even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want.

No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn’t include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file!

Added homebrews in this release:

Asteroids v0.1 with Wiimote support, DragonMedia Player v0.12 Beta, ftpii v0.0.12, Gecko OS v1.06d cf, Genesis Plus v2008.07.16, Gnuboy GX v2008.07.15, MahJongg Wii v0.2, Uno v4 and Wii Web Server v0.81 Alpha

Michniewski has released his third revision of Snes9xGX for both the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube. Snes9xGX 003 is based on SNES9X v1.5 for the PC which features superior ROM compatibility, sound and speed compared to previous versions.

The Wii version of the emulator includes support for Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic and Gamecube controller’s. Both ports include the ability to save and load your game at any point in time using the Freeze States and both ports can load zipped ROM images.

Head over to Snes9xGX’s Official Release Thread (linked below) for more information including what’s new and to download it. Make sure to leave some feedback and the author has spent a great deal of time tweaking this emulator to perfection.

Technik is working on a 3D engine for Nintendo’s Wii, but read more:

Quote (little bit modified):

Hello, my nick is technik and I’m the developper of the Revoluion Engine.

It is a 3D games Engine for Wii. With it you may be able to easily create cool 3D homebrew games for you Wii’s and publish them. Now it’s still a “little baby” so many of it’s features aren’t available yet, but i’m already working for the next release.

This is the download link: http://cjk80cf98289.googlepages.com/RevolutionEnginev0.1.rar

The main page of the project is http://www.revolutiongameengine.blogspot.com with videos and more, but it’s all in spanish (because I am Spanish) as well as the license of the engine.

Features:
-Allows you to render full 3D Scenes in real time on your Wii with multiple dynamic Objects wich have Mesh and Texture (only one channel textures right now).
-Allows you to render 2D images over the 3D image to use as panels, texts, etc…Using simple png files so you can use it for 3Dgames, 2D games or a combination of both.
-A vector Based Cameras system that allows you to make target, first person, third person, free cameras, or any kind of cameras you want.
-Mesh loading from it’s own file format, so performance is improved. This format is free, plain text, and easy to understand so anyone can make exporters or conversors from other formats.
-Texture Loading from png files using frontier’s pngu library.

Great improvements are comming.

I’m going to translate it into English, gonna make some examples as well. I hope you enjoy this and make cool 3D games using it 😉

Headtracking is a demo based on Johnny Chung Lee’s YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw ).

Place the Wiimote on your TV facing you and hold the sensorbar close to your head. As you move around, the image will pan and zoom accordingly.
