Crazy Intro v1.0 (Wii Application)

Crazy Intro is an autoboot homebrew to use along with Preloader.

You can use Crazy Intro to customize the opening of your wii. You can display your selected picture and play the music of your choice at each start of your wii. Also you can assign your frequently used channels/programs to any button on your wiimote. You can use B or your configured button to quickly access homebrew channel.

Changes:

Compiled with latest Grrlib 4.1.0 / devkitpro r19
Default intro can launch the Homebrew Channel with the new title id.
Added random theme support, in CrazyIntro.xml config file set the theme as random. The example configuration in the distribution also uses random.
Added random/sequential (up to 9999 pictues) boot picture support. So in a theme you can have multiple boot pictures and program will alternate between those boot pictures. See theme_explained.xml or supplied kanji_10 theme for it’s usage.
Improved dol/elf loader, still buggy though in certain apps.

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.

Yabause Wii can now run a small number of commercial games at usable speeds (5-10fps) were it is still possible to play the game.

Changes:

based on the original yabause r2411

ZEngine v0.1 (Wii misc)

ZEngine is a game library which is designed for any platform that SDL and OpenGL are available on. ZEngine is a set of classes and a main ZEngine class which are designed to make game development easier and more organized. As of 0.7.7 ZEngine can use OpenGL to do the 2D display, so it is much faster and can take advantage of hardware accelerated features. This file provides a simple overview of using it, more on the subject can be found in the docs and at http://github.com/jamesturk/zengine/

The Wii port of this engine is based only on ‘SDL’ – all OpenGL parts had been removed.

Wii Home v1.4 (Wii Application)

Wii Home is a “plugin” for Preloader ( http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader ).

Wii Home is a homebrew which launches at startup of the Wii. You can, on the menu, select if you want go to the System Menu or to the HBC. You can also customize Wii Home with a theme of your choice.

Changes:

– Added the possibility of launching a channel of your choice:
Create a channel.txt file in the WiiHome folder. In the file, write the first number:
1 for a title that begins with 00010001
2 for a title that begins with 00010002
4 for a title that begins with 00010004
8 for a title that begins with 00010008
After, write the title of the Wii Channel in letters (for example the title of the Wii Shop Channel is HABA)
So, for the Wii Shop Channel the complete channel.txt file is 2HABA because the complete title ID in hex is 0001000248414241. 00010002 is replaced by 2 and 48414241 is HABA in hex.
– Ability to launch the Homebrew Channel or channel of your choice by pressing the 1 button to change the second option button.
– Added an emergency button. Pressing the RESET button will jump on the Wii Menu.
– Added the version of Wii Home. To see the version press the + button.

UAE Wii v4 (Amiga emu for Wii)

UAE is a famous Amiga emulator ported to the Wii. UAE Wii can be found on googlecode at uae-wii.googlecode.com, and is based on the source code of E-UAE. The port uses SDL Wii.

Changes:

I’ve built a version 4. The only real feature in it is “Mario kart wheel” support for games where it makes sense. It’s also rebuilt against the latest devkitppc/libogc and SDL. It does not fix the mouse issue (see the bug report for details).

Wiiero v1.2 (Wii Game)

Wiiero is a Liero clone specially developed for the Wii. Destructible terrain plays a major role in the gameplay. Wiiero is a two player game (the single player mode will be developed later).

Wiiero plays exactly the same way as Liero; it has the same game modes (Deathmatch, CTF, and Tag) and most of the same weapons. It also contains some new (optional) weapons.
