by the OpenBOR team

This is an official port of the OpenBOR (aka Beats of Rage) beat em up game engine to the Wii by SX, with controller support improved by Plombo.

FEATURES
========
-Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic and Gamecube Controller Supported
-Rumble Support for Wiimote and Gamecube Controllers
-Up to 4 Player Support
-Horizontal/Vertical Wiimote Recognition
-Graphic Filters: HQ2X, LQ2X, TV Scanline and much more (though some need fixing)
-Only SDL Video is used the rest of the IO Handling is done natively
-Menu Preview System and Audio player are disabled. (SDHC is very slow)
-File Caching supported for Quick Realtime data loading
-USB Mode Not supported, Must be run from SDHC Card
-For now must use hardcoded path (sd:/apps/OpenBOR)
-Not tested hence 99% sure widescreen mode does not work

CHANGELOG
=========
-Widescreen (480x272) mods supported.
-Widescreen (16:9) displays supported.
-No aspect ratio distortion with any mod regardless of display. Horizontal/vertical black bars are used when needed.
-Can now be run from a USB flash drive or FAT32-formatted USB hard drive.
-OpenBOR no longer depends on SDL Wii. All I/O handling is done natively through libogc.
-Performance boost due to using GX directly for video instead of going through SDL.
