Death Star Run (Alpha 1)

by Lord Ashes
Wii Homebrew games.

Lord Ashes' Notes
==================
I wish I had a more polished verion for you. The latest compiles for this game took approx 18 hours. The latest version still has a few bugs that I fixed but the compile has been running for over 24 hours and is still not done. So I am posting what I have. If I manage to compile the revised version I will post it but as a seperate file so that members can judge me based on what I had finished by the deadline.

A few notes:
- Please read the instructions in the game, they provide the story line, explains controls, and show you what you are up against. They are not just some cheesy instruction pages.
- Note the slight drift on the Instruction page making it look like the cockpit is actually flying.
- Note that the x-wing firing alternates from the left and right wing.
- Note that firing reduces the photos energy and thus after about 4 shots you need to let the photo energy recharge. Scale for photos is shown on bottom right.
- Note being hit by enemy fire (except t-fighter rockets) drains shields. After about 5 hits you lose all your shields (next hit kills you). Scale for shields is shown on bottom left.
- You can press A to skip the intro animation but please watch it at least once.
- Pressing 1 restarts the level.
- Pressing 2 accesses the Game Menu (which is also a pause).
- You can use the Level option to jump to different levels as follows:

Button 1 = 1
Button 2 = 2
Button A = 3
Button B = 4
Button - = 5
Button + = 6

Level 1 = 1234
Level 2 = 2463
Level 3 = 3645
Level 4 = 4654

Known Issues:
- No score and high score
- Controller for Level 4 is visible in the top right corner of the screen

(or failed to mount :P).

having an effect.
-Added loading font by clicking on a .ttf file

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Wii 1.5.0

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's colours have been fixed. It is now a genuine SRB2 experience again. =)
- Massive speed boost from unlocking the Wii's secondary RAM, large levels like ERZ2 even load and play.
- Partially redesigned innards, the boot process is now completely different to the previous versions although this does not affect functionality at all. Updated to the latest versions of SDL and SDL_mixer for this release, the next stable release will have EVERYTHING updated to the latest usable versions.
- Updated the kernel to MIKEp5, based on Linux kernel 2.6.32. This new release brings mainline kernel support for the Wii's wireless chipset, and preliminary support for the Wii's DVD drive (support for both in SRB2Wii is currently unimplemented though, although they will be at a later date, and will be SRB2Wii/mini only.)
- Many other undocumented but otherwise influential and important updates, fixes and additions.

WiiXplorer r147, r148, r149, r150

by Dimok, r-win

A multi device file explorer for the Wii by dimok and a GUI made with LibWiiGui by Tantric with graphics by NeoRame.

Features
=========
-USB2 support with cIOS202 installed
-SMB/USB/SD/DVD recursive copy/move/delete of files/directories with all files in it
-FAT and NTFS files systems support
-Rename files/directories
-Properties of files/directories

-Textediting support
-Auto-Update feature

CHANGELOG r150
==============
-Little bugfix for blackscreen when leaving WiiXplorer

NOTE: FTP Server doesn't work for Ethernet-Adapters (maybe for some Wifis too)
if you install IOS202 v5 based on IOS57. Also there is no Channel list in the
StartMenu with that. It is recommended to install IOS202 v4 by Hermes based on
38. You'll have all features with it from WiiXplorer.

CHANGELOG r149
==============
-Initial FTP Server commit. The old FTP Server source was completely removed and
replaced by the source from FTPii (big thanks to joe). The server should work
exactly the same way as ftpii as far as compatibility is concerned.
-Added a few useful classes with the server (like a console class)

CHANGELOG r148
==============
-Added argument passing to MPlayerCE. With this you can start Movie files from
WiiXplorer in MPlayerCE. This works only for SD/USB/NTFS and won't work for SMB.
MPlayerCE doesn't initiate the SMB fast enough and quits because the file cannot
be found.
-Added option to set the path to MPlayerCE dol
-Modified argument passing
-Updated SMB lib to new libogc version (buffersize is different than in libogc)
-Small fixups

CHANGELOG r147
==============
-Language files updated
