Pimp My Wii 2.30

by Attila
Here is "Pimp My Wii", an homebrew that will Hack your Wii, install missing or outdated IOS / titles, install the cIOS and mIOS necessary.

The program will detect missing or outdated IOS and check that you have the latest version of the Wii System Menu. It also checks if you have the latest versions of BC, MIOS and those channels : Wii Shop, News, Weather, Mii, Photo and Photo 1.1
If you don't have the latest versions of those titles, the program will download them, or read them from USB or SD to install them. When using this program, you will have all advantages from 4.1 cumulated from those of 3.2, and this without drawbacks !

It also install cIOS d2x (based on Waninkoko) (249, 250) v6 and cIOS from Hermes 202/222/223/224 rev5.1. You can if you want install the cIOS from Waninkoko rev20/21 (you'll have to install it manually from the menu "Install cIOS").
Pimp install the cMIOS from WiiGator.

The homebrew is displayed automatically in english, french, italian, german or spanish depending of your Wii's language. It is also compatible with NTSC-U, NTSC-J and PAL Wii consoles. (Korean Wii theoricaly compatible).

CHANGELOG
==========
- Removes some informations (related to savegame) in TXT export, to lower its size (the CSV export is still complete).
- Fix the bug that could have changed the Wiimote number during Pimp utilisation.
- Compiled with devkitPPC 25-1 and libogc 1.8.10 (this introduce the support of the new Wiimotes RVL-CNT-01-TR).
- Using threads to try to fix (bypass) the freezes some people got during IOSes scan.
- Utilisation de threads pour essayer de contourner les blocages durant les scans d'IOS.
- Updated the d2x cIOS to v8.
- Added the d2x cIOS v9 (beta 47), available only on the mode "Install cIOS". It won't be installed on "Hack the Wii" or "Pass the test and fix problems".
Warning: It's writting nowhere that it's a beta, but it is. When the final version will be out, you must manually install the new version since pimp my wii does not differentiate beta and final versions.
- Added a little temporisation when doing an IOS reload.

cIOSX rev21d2x v9 Beta (r47)

by davebaol, xabby666, and XFlak.
This is a Custom IOS, an IOS modified to add some new features not available in the official IOS.

This IOS has been made to be used ONLY with homebrew software.

The d2x cIOS is an enhanced version of the cIOSX rev21 by Waninkoko.

CHANGELOG
=========
[ d2x v9 ]

- ModMii 6.0.6 or higher is required to build d2x wads. The d2x-cios-installer
doesn't need to be updated instead.
- EHCI module enhanced with interrupt callback to detect usb port status
changes. Now usb instruments are plug&play just like they are when playing
the original dvd through the disc channel (tnx to hermes cios source).
- Improved usb compatibility: some problematic hdd are now supported,
shred skateboard controller is now supported, mics and usb instruments
should work better than before (tnx to rodries for the great help).
- Fixed an issue in ehci descriptors (tnx to rodries).
- Fixed a slowdown issue when initializing the device. Now the device is not
unmounted anymore if it's mounted already (tnx to rodries).
- Increased read/write sectors up to 64KB.
- Fixed an issue when checking if a usb device is inserted (tnx to rodries).
- Old SDHC and FAT modules have been removed to prevent random freezing with
the new EHCI module. SDHC and FAT capabilities are now embedded rispectively
in EHCI/USBS module and FS plugin.
- Patched Nintendo's SDI module to register a new device name without the
initial slash, i.e. dev/sdio. This alternative name is required by nand
emulation to prevent deadlock since we have to open the sd card from inside
the fs-plugin.
- Registered an alternative device name for EHCI and USBS modules, i.e.
dev/usb2 (same reason mentioned above).
- Increased EHCI thread priority from 0x48 to 0x78.
- Removed the easter egg introduced by Waninkoko in cios rev20.
- Added to EHCI a ioctl command to set watchdog timout. This should fix the
issue which certain HDD that park their heads after less than 10 seconds of
inactivity.
- Added to EHCI a ioctl command to save module configuration. This command is
called by the ES plugin during ios reload block management.

You take turns with another player to drop red or black pieces into the board. Pieces fall in from the top and slide down to stack up on top of each other. The goal is to get 4 of your pieces touching in a straight line (diagonals also count) before your opponent does.

Categorii 2.0-TR

by Yossi

Do you have too many apps listed in your HBC? Do you rarely play apps starting with "W" anymore because it takes too long to scroll all the way down to there? Have you ever installed an app but never played it because it got lost in the clutter? Your misery ends now. Introducing, Categorii!

This app, when used effectively, will give the impression that the HBC has categories. How? By renaming your apps/ directory.
It will appear just like a regular app. When you run it, it will do it's thing with no input from you, and exit. When HBC comes up again, the apps in the destination category show up.
