Inkpoly v1.01 (Wii misc)

Inkpoly is a screensaver for Wii homebrew. It’s kind of like a spirograph but with overlapping regions that fill with the even/odd fill rule. It makes use of the ftgrays anti-aliasing rendering engine from the FreeType library. It is all done in software, no 3D at all, making use of the 4:2:2 YCrCb bitmapped screenbuffer for the display. It’s using cubic bezier curves to define the shape to render.

Yabause Wii UO v0.9.10 (Beta 12) (Saturn emu for Wii)

Yabause Wii is a Sega Saturn emulator for Wii and is the first of its kind as emulating the complex processes of the Sega Saturn is much harder then it looks and now even harder to run it on the limited hardware of the Wii.

Changes:

add some previous unhandled commands of vdp2
use optimization options of compiler (a little fast)
use inline assemblies more in functions used in RBG0 and RBG1 (a little fast but not accurate)
some minor fixes and changes

Gravitii v0.1 (Wii Game)

Gravitii is a puzzle game with a simple objective. All you have to do is shoot the ball at the target. The only problem is there are planets in the way. You must use the gravitii of the planets to curve your ball and hit the target, but be careful becuase every planet’s gravity level is different, and some don’t have any gravity at all.
