Geckoreader v1.0 (Wii Application misc)

GeckoReader is a program to be run under Windows that will open a command prompt and output what it reads from a USB gecko. You must have the USB gecko installed, set up the COM drivers, and have .NET 2.0 for this to work properly. Then whatever buffer is sent from the Wii/Gamecube should pop up on the screen.

Changes:

Can send a file or data stream to Geckoreader, which will save the buffer as a file
Can make a hexdump of a buffer, which is sent through the gecko

C64-network.org v2 (C64 emu for Wii)

c64-network.org (Frodo based) is a Commodore 64 emulator written by Christian Bauer. It was ported to the Wii by Simon Kagstrom, and many C64 games are fully playable on the Wii with it. So go ahead and beat your friends in International Karate, Boulder Dash or Bomb Jack. This version is not the same as Troy Davis implementation, but Troys work is available in a branch in the subversion tree.

The emulator works best in 480i mode. It runs perfectly fine in 576i mode as well, but does not utilize the full resolution. This is an SDL issue, and will not be fixed until SDL-Port supports it. Sound support is slightly buggy, but usable. The emulation itself is not perfect, so not all games will run under Frodo.

Note to those using network play: the network connection broker requires the latest version of Frodo, so please upgrade if you plan to use the network support!

Changes:

Various small fixes here and there
Fix sound when paused
Fix nunchuk/classic controller joystick
All fixes in the v1-rcs
