Frodo is a Commodore 64 emulator written by Christian Bauer ( http://frodo.cebix.net ). It was ported to the Wii by Simon Kagstrom and does not share any code with FrodoWii.

Put .t64 or .d64 files in /apps/frodo/images on your SD card. The in-game menu allows you to insert disks/tapes, load them and configure the display, joystick ports etc. Saves will be stored on the SD card and the preferences are stored persistently. Wiimote 1 is by default the joystick in port 1 and wiimote 2 the joystick in port 2, but you can swap this.

Wii-Tac-Toe is a Tic-Tac-Toe game for the Nintendo Wii. It was programmed in C++ using devkitPro along with GRRLIB.

The game can be played alone vs the CPU or with a friend using one Wii Remote controller. The game AI does not always do the same moves, so the fun never stop.

To win the game, you have to place three marks (O or X) in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row. If the grid is filled completely and no one has won, well, it’s a tie game. Start over and try to beat your opponent.

Upcomming changes:

New cursors for HOME menu, player 2 cursor is disable
Wii Remote two could use the HOME button
Opacity of the cursor changes while waiting for AI to play

The Wii Linux Team have released a new version of the Kernel for Wii Linux based distributions. It now features interactivity with the AVE-RVL audio/video encoder and also allows you to return to the Homebrew Channel.

Release notes:

We are back (non morituri) with a new kernel based on the recently published version 2.6.29. The new release includes some interesting features, specially on the video side: support for AVE-RVL (the audio/video encoder in the Nintendo Wii), enhanced video mode autodetection and forcing, honoring of video mode timings (fbset and friends will work now), default boot video mode with overscan compensation (for those using tellys). Oh, and don’t miss the new quick reboot into “The Homebrew Channel” feature. Happy hacking!

maRk2512’s updated his game QuirkDS. It’s a remake of the old GameBoy game “Kwirk, A-mazing tater”.

Changes:
