Visual Controller Test v0.9 (Wii misc)

Visual Controller Test by Mr. Reaper is a button pressing application for Wii.

Release notes:

0.9 = Added in everything but the kitchen sink (but if I had a kitchen sink wii attachment for Cooking Mama, I’d add that too). You should be able to test just about everything now, on any port, including the tap bar on some guitars and the analog shoulder buttons on an original Classic Controller. Oh, you can even test the Power button on your wiimote by holding it down for 3 seconds.

SDL-3DS v0.9-1.2.15 (3DS misc Port)

nop90 does a great service to the Nintendo 3DS community by releasing a greatly improved port of libSDL. This should raise the library of Nintendo 3DS homebrew games really fast!

Changes:

– reduced video thread priority to avoid conflicts with ctulib threads, mainly the NDSP handler one
– fixed a crash callingSDL_SetVideoMode a secont time, caused by not releasing the scene (shader ans Rendertargets) before loading it again with the new video mode
