The Giana’s Return Team is currently working on a remake of the TI-83 Jump’N’Run puzzler “SQRXZ” using graphics from the J2ME version in a “classic” mode, but also fully redrawn deluxe graphics. The screenshot below shows the classic graphics.
Here is a quote from the Giana’s Return page:
We are heavily working on Project “S”! The game is fully playable, minor features and little bit of bugfixing is left. Our current intern version is v0.5!
We will be releasing for most major systems such as GP2x, Wiz, GP32, Dreamcast, Dingoo Linux (Dingux), Windows, Wii, PSP and possibly other systems. As we do have permission from the copyright holder and creator, we shouldn’t be running into any problems releasing for the systems mentioned above.
Prepare for the possibly hardest Jump’N’Run puzzler you have every played! If you can’t handle this game, you better go and play golf

Priiloader is a modified version of the officially discontinued Preloader. Preloader is a small application which places itself before the System Menu. Its main feature is to directly boot the Homebrew Channel or a file you can install from a FAT device. Preloader is also able to apply memory patches the system menu to remove limitations or other things. Warning! This homebrew makes permanent changes to your Wii’s flash memory (NAND) and should be used with caution.
Changes:
Added support of all versions of the EU/US system menus(JP/KR are untested)
New entrypoint. this means :
Old forwarders should work again
Many other memory related restrictions should be gone.
Added support for more usb hard drives
Added an option to ask for a password either when entering priiloader menu or doing autoboot. (NOTE : this -CAN- lock you out of your own wii. please be very careful with this)
Added a menu to list all installed Wiiware/VC titles and start one
Added a new magic word to force system menu to be started. (the word is “Pune”)
Added an option to redirect Gecko output to the screen instead of to a USBGecko(NOTE: this slows down priiloader DRASTICLY)
Fixed loads of minor bugs
