ZEngine 0.1

by Slappy

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.

"Geckoreader" & "libgecko"

by r-win, Giantpune

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.

libgeck: is a very small lib that you can link your programs with that should aid in debugging. Just link this in the makefile with -lgeck and put the .a and .h files in their directories in your devkit folder. Since this is a wrapper for the libogc functions, you need to link that as well. Or you can just copy the .c and .h files to your project and #include them. The gecko must be in slot B.

Twilight Hack System Menu 4.1 - New Exploit

by Tgames, Cashman

Here is a video of a project where Twilight Hack 0.1 beta1 functions on Wii System Menu 4.1

Important Notes on Video & Patch
================================
-The patcher can remove the deletion check on System Menu 4.1 and allow it function properly
-A homebrew (not developed in-house) was used to flash the original backup and replace it with the Team Twiizer Beta2.

This will be integrated in future homebrew in the final version, and during the patching of the system menu, the backup will be patched! Also, if you ever delete the backup, simply recreate a normal backup Zelda, then run the patcher in future development.

The video shows only part of the actual "patch". IOS249 is a temporary means to install the patches, another vulnerability will be used in the future.

More information will be provided as it comes out.

DolBoot 1.0.2

by phpgeek

DolBoot is a simple application that will take a compiled dol file containing a homebrew application for the nintendo wii and bind it with a boot loader. The file can then be launched in place of the official systems menu by replacing the appropriate .app nand file.

CREATOR'S NOTES
===============
I developed this tool to aid me in compiling the source for preloader. What it basically does is binds any homebrew application with the appropriate boot loader, calculates the correct offsets and modifies the dol header accordingly. The modified dol will then be able to legally boot in place of the systems menu. It can easily be linked with devkitPro to create a seamless compilation process, for any developer who wishes to develop an application that replaces the systems menu.

This is a dangerous tool if you do not know what you are doing, so if you do not have BootMii installed to boot2 or have no idea what the information above means then I strongly suggest that you don't download this tool!

libwiigui 1.05

by Tantric

libwiigui is a GPL licensed GUI library for the Wii, created to help structure the design of a complicated GUI interface, and to enable an author to create a sophisticated, feature-rich GUI. It was originally conceived and written after I started to design a GUI for Snes9x GX, and found libwiisprite and GRRLIB inadequate for the purpose. It uses GX for drawing, and makes use of PNGU for displaying images and FreeTypeGX for text. It was designed to be flexible and is easy to modify - don't be afraid to change the way it works or expand it to suit your GUI's purposes! If you do, and you think your changes might benefit others, please share them so they might be added to the project!

FEATURES
========
-Extensible classes
-Built-in TTF, PNG support (uses FreeTypeGX and PNGU/libpng)
-Built-in sound support (OGG and PCM)
-Integrated hotspot support
-Automatic handling of navigation via controller pad
-Window focus support
-Sophisticated object positioning
-Comprehensive object state and event system
-Support for animated effects
-Included template and sample class extensions (eg: on-screen keyboard)

Sand Traps is an original puzzle/platform game for Wii homebrew.

The objective of the game is to tilt the board using your wiimote, in order to guide the sand towards the green exit. In each level you need to save a certain percentage of the sand. If the sand 'falls out' of the board it is lost. If the sand touches the red stone it is also lost.

In some levels you can add new stone, and in some levels you can also remove it again so you can reuse it elsewhere.

Wit r51 (Wii Interface Toolkit)

by ahigerd

WIT, the Wii Interface Toolkit, is an event-driven C++-based development toolkit intended for Wii software development.

The intent of WIT is to encapsulate most of the mundane details of the Wii platform behind a consistent programming interface while remaining relatively lightweight. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk, the Classic Controller, GameCube controllers, and the Guitar Hero 3 controller are all managed through the same event system, allowing all forms of input to be handled consistently without requiring the developer to write separate code for each controller type. The Balance Board accessory is also supported. WIT's design is inclusive, allowing the developer to use native API calls and third-party libraries without restriction or interference.

A secondary goal is to be the most thoroughly documented homebrew library available. Every constant, function, and class exposed by the WIT API is fully documented.

The current implementation of WIT is based on libOGC, but the toolkit API is backend-independent and should be readily portable to the official WiiWare SDK; likewise, a desktop-based Wii simulator using native graphics and input backends (perhaps through wiiuse or simulating the Wii Remote with a mouse) would be possible.

Graphical client that sends files over TCP from windows computers to Wii consoles. This version does not require the .NET runtine, and also does NOT require the C++ runtime. Be sure to manually uninstall the previous version, since this version uses another type of installer.

Mainly for the Homebrew Channel, but still works with the the standalone server by Svpe.

FEATURES
========
-Works with both the standalone server and the Homebrew channel
-Works with both elf and DOL files
-Saves the used settings in the Windows registry so that you don't need to change them at each start
-Is not so tiny anymore, but doesn't have prerequisites now.
-Supports drag and drop of files onto the main window.
-Does basic sanity checks to prevent the most obvious user errors like forgetting to select a file.

CHANGELOG v5.1
==============
-Changed some minor issues, one of them being a memory leak (thanks henke37)
-Gecko options are not visible if you don't have a gecko

"devkitPPC r18" & "libogc 1.8.0" & "libfat 1.0.5"

by WinterMute, shagkur, Tantric
devkitPPC r18
=============
devkitPPC is a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and includes a C (gcc) and C++ compiler (g++), a debugger (gdb) and associated utilities, with the architecture "powerpc-eabi". It also includes standard C libraries based on newlib, which is specifically designed for embedded systems. Compilers and libraries are also included for the MN10200, the Matsushita (Panasonic) chip used in the Wii DVD controller. It is designed to be used in conjunction with libogc, a collection of Wii-specific low-level libraries.

CHANGELOG r18
=============
-Update gcc to 4.4.1
-Update newlib to 1.17.1 – please note this is not an official newlib release, just a snapshot we used to obtain some requested functions.
-Update to gdb 7.0
-wiiload is now version 0.5, this will require the latest version of the homebrew channel in order to upload code.
-filesystem IO now defaults to unbuffered meaning that the full length requested on read/write is passed to the devoptab pseudo device drivers.
-The powerpc-gekko prefix has now been replaced with the more standard powerpc-eabi, this will allow portable autotools based libraries to build OOB for devkitPPC. Users of the template projects will be unaffected.

libogc 1.8.0
============
libogc is a collection of low-level libraries for the GameCube and Wii. This collection of libraries was originally written by shagkur for the GameCube and has been developed over the past 6 years.

SDL Wii 10-09-2009

by Tantric and others

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and video. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively.

SDL support on Wii is currently incomplete. Although SDL is useable, you will likely experience problems until this is rectified. Please contribute any improvements you make to the SDL Wii SVN.

Sand Traps 2.0

by flarup

Sand Traps is an original puzzle/platform game for Wii homebrew.

The objective of the game is to tilt the board using your wiimote, in order to guide the sand towards the green exit. In each level you need to save a certain percentage of the sand. If the sand 'falls out' of the board it is lost. If the sand touches the red stone it is also lost.

In some levels you can add new stone, and in some levels you can also remove it again so you can reuse it elsewhere.

CHANGELOG v2.0
==============
-MULTI PLAYER SUPPORT!
-Code cleanup
-Added end-screen when all levels in a map are completed
