Win2X is an alternative frontend for the Wiz, that points in improving users experience over the default Wiz frontend.

Changes:

I have updated Win2X to version 2.1.

> Added sound support for touchscreen events and some basic sounds for other events as logon,shutdown and messages.

Unfortunately, I’ll be off for some time, so this is my last contribution to Win2X(and maybe the WIZ).I would like to thank you all for your feedback and your precious time and I hope you enjoy Win2X!

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!

Changes:

Compiled with DevKitPPC r19, libogc 1.8.1 and libfat 1.0.6
Allowed ratings and download count in repos
Expanded the size of the HBB updated applications display when starting up
Added homebrew sorter support (HBB will check for boot.dol.bak and boot.elf.bak files)
Disabled write test as some cards failed it
Fixed bug that crashed HBB at startup when settings had Use SD but no SD was inserted
Fixed bug that would freeze or crash HBB when accessing a repo
Fixed bug when GC controller was plugged in, it might go straight into the menu and then exit
The Homebrew Browser has been upgraded to v0.3.7 to mainly fix a couple of small bugs as well as finally compiling with the latest DevKitPPC, libogc and libfat, and adding homebrew sorter support.

Copper, who is specialized in single game emulators for Nintendo DS, brought us another goodie! An emulator for the Arcarde game “Snow Bros.”.

Changes:

V2.0 : 10/01/2010
* Version NIFI
Rom sets supported:
Snow Bros. – Nick & Tom (set 1)

Snow Bros. – Nick & Tom (set 3)

As usual those ROM’s are not part of the package and we don’t know where to get those, so asking would be a waste of time.
