Sonic Robo Blast 2 Wii 2.0.0 RC4

by Callum
SRB2Wii is an unofficial port of the 3D platformer fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2 to the Wii. The PowerPC Linux version of SRB2 runs under a tiny Wii Linux distribution loaded from an image. SRB2Wii is under ongoing development.

CHANGELOG
=========
SRB2Wii v2.0.0 Release Candicate 4 has been released for testing (27/11/2010 10:46):
Features and bugfixes:
- Using aggressive compile-time optimisation, putting the distribution on a huge diet and fixing up the operating system in general, made SRB2 a TON faster.
- Updated software versions of all the software in SRB2Wii, which contributes to modernisation and speedup, and removed some unneeded software.
- Behind the scenes build-system fixes which kill bugs, add features, and make SRB2Wii compile faster so you can get your hands on it faster ;)

Regressions and bugs:
- SRB2Wii/mini will not load anymore, so not uploaded this time.
- Fine text on the splash screen isn't rendered properly. This will be fixed in the future.
- WaveBird support is not working properly. Everyone who has tried it has not been able to get it to work. Please say if your WaveBird works or not in the thread. Thanks!
- Due to limitations with wminput, only one Wii Remote can be connected at a time. This can not be fixed (yet at least), it is difficult to solve this in a convenient fashion.
- SRB2 seems to be having problems with registering input from the second controller (any controller) ingame. I will talk to Alam about this, and hopefully have it fixed (I might have fixed this already, actually, but haven't tried it.)
- I broke Internet (not that anyone was using it anyway but yeah...). This will be fixed for the final release.
- WAD loading doesn't completely work right now.

Future features:
- Internal updates through the Internet.
- Finished SRB2Wii Launcher.

I'm really sorry for the huge wait, after the last release, I'm sure you know I've had school to tend to, and its been difficult, I tell you. ;) Well, school's out for the year, and I can start developing this again. Enjoy!

I ported libext2fs for the Wii/GC for all the Linux lovers out there :P. It is
based on the source of libntfs and is build up in a similar way.
The source code for the port can be found under this SVN repository:
http://code.google.com/p/libext2fs-wii/

This is an initial release for the libext2fs-wii port (v1.0.0). Even though I
did several tests by now, it might still have bugs/issues in it. Until it is
further tested use with cautious and on your own risk, especially the
write/delete feature.
I will create a WiiBrew page for it later. If someone wants to go ahead and make
one, feel free to do so :P (I am a bit low on free time currently).

PiX Bros 0.7

by PiX Juegos

Wacky game.

Creator's Notes
===============

It has been quite a while since I told you I was working with Pix Juegos' Pixel to bring you a preview release of Pix Bros for Wii, but it's already arrived for your gaming pleasure!

As I said earlier today, it's still a preview so be sure to understand that what we're releasing today is only a preview of the game: when the final version is released, bugs will get fixed and the game will look much prettier. It is, however, a very playable version of the game: It's running at 32bpp, with MP3 music and it will even open the designer's group website when asked to! (more on this on a later post. If you want to give it a try, give an eye to the game's code).

Today's preview does have a few limitations, though. Fonts are not working as one might expect them to, so we've released a version of the game that uses the default system font. That font is basically available for debugging purposes, so it is barely visible and looks plain wrong.
This game also showed some issues with the joystick handling routines which might be caused by the SDL port. To avoid them, only one player can play at any given time, sorry for that.
On a final note, the game seems to slow down a bit at certain points. This is caused by it running at 32bpp: looks like we hit the Wii's limit when processing graphics without its GPU. In case we can't solve this, we might have to release the final version with 16bpp mode set by default.

On the bright side of life, you'll enjoy the latest and greatest version of Pix Juegos' game, which has gone through major improvement since its last release. I can promise you the game is really, really entertaining. I've been waiting for it on the Wii for a long time :)

For the rest, the game is completely playable. I haven't finished the game (those Rarutos keep killing me...) but it seem pretty rock-solid. It's really encouraging to see that :)

Both Pix Juegos and me wish you an absurd level of fun, but remember this is only a preview and things might be broken. If that's the case, please let us know so that we can fix them.

Desert Bus 1.0

by tueidj
The aim of Desert Bus is to drive from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada. The full trip is 360 miles long, which must be completed without stopping. The bus can only reach 45 miles an hour and pulls to the right ever so slightly. The only things you're likely to see while on the road (besides the desert floras) are a few scattered bus stops, which you can stop at and open the door of the bus. Note that you probably won't find anyone waiting (it's the desert after all). Driving off with the door open is not allowed as it would be a safety violation.

ThemeShooterTk 0.07

by HoKaze
ThemeShooterTk is a cross-platform, Python based clone of ThemeShooter made by HoKaze.

It can be run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and most modern Unix-like operating systems so long as the following requirements are met:

Python 2.x (Python 2.6 and 2.7 should work fine)

Tkinter (should come with python)

Python Imaging Library, PIL (Tends to be included with python)
PIL: ImageTk Module (on Linux this tends to be kept seperate, look for the "python-imaging-tk" package)

What started off as a quick and dirty clone of the original ThemeShooter has since grown and whilst it may be behind the original and ThemeShooterX, it should hopefully suffice for some basic "themeshots." I do intend on continuing to add to it on the rare occasion I have time.

FEATURES 0.07
==============
-Dummy text (with alpha)
-Theme previews
-Screenshot generation
Replaces missing images (apart from the background) with images from Classic theme, Dark Water v2 theme OR a custom theme of your choice
-Random bubble placement on both preview and screenshots
-Beginnings of an application database of sorts (possibly expanded later)
-Basic configuration file support for program settings (will be expanded later)
-Simple console output option, for debugging and rough speed checks
-Cross-platform!

It actually supports a huge range of formats and can playback media from DVDs, SD Cards, USB drives and over your local area network using Samba (SMB) shares.

Creator's Notes
===============
Behold! It is a shameless rip off of the classic arcade hit Pac Man!

Having never programmed anything with graphics or a UI before (I specialize in data-manipulation programs), this was a fun little C programming exercise in order to give my wife something she'll actually play as she loves pac man. Currently at revision 0.5, I've just completed the core gameplay programming and it's time for my first stable release. Enjoy!

There will probably be lots of overscan problems on your tv, this build is specifically made for mine. I'll hopefully find a way to fix this in the future, but for the moment I'm most focusing on the AI programming, which I would love some help on. Thanks to everyone over at GRRLIB for their lovely library and programming help.

Alien Breed 2010 Wii Build 18 Beta

by Habitualcoder
Remake of Alien Breed (1992).

Habitualcoder's Notes
=====================
Installing

Wiiab for the Nintendo Wii comes in a Homebrew Channel friendly package.

Simply unzip the archive into the apps directory of your homebrew SD card and it will create an apps/abinst directory suitable for its use with the Homebrew Channel.

Start the Homebrew Channel, locate the Alien Breed Installer entry and click on its icon using the Nintendo Wii Remote, then click on the Load button.

The installer must download some game media from the PC version on the internet. A working Wii Wifi is required. If you do not have working Wifi then download FlashJesterPunk's PC version [1] and place the zip file within the apps/abinst directory on your sdcard.

Follow the on screen instructions to install the game.

Once the installer has finished a new apps/alienbreed directory will have been created on your SD card.

You may now delete the Alien Breed Installer entry from the Homebrew Channel.
