MLlib 1.3

by minishlink

The MLlib (or Minishlink's Library) is a simple library to develop on Nintendo Wii. Technically, it's a wrapper of libogc and others librairies. Coding with this lib on Wii is way easier and faster now ! :-) The author created this because he needed a library with he could code with easy functions. It uses GX for drawing, libpng for handling PNG, and libs of libogc...
