NES Hacks

For those of you familiar with the original Xbox Media Center, you will definitely love this news. Thanks to NES-Hacks member YoYoBallz for the heads up on the news. This application will function like a media center playing videos like a media center should do.

This is a crude prototype of GeeXboX port for WII. It is based on gc-linux team’s wii-linux-PoC-0.4 and a recent devel version of GeeXboX.

Most functions of WII, including bluetooth/wiimote, DVD, wireless, LAN etc., are not supported by this version, due to limitations of the linux kernel. There are terrible bugs too, which you won’t be able to miss. So please regard this rather as a demo. But expect huge improvements in next release, when gc-linux team’s latest linux port becomes available.

By now you know of FTPii, which allows you to transfer files from your PC to your Wii and vice versa. But what if you could now set-up a web server from your Wii that could be accessed over Wifi?

Well now you can. With the latest release of Wii Web Server, you can load a wide array of file types of any size! This means you can store files (.exe’s, webpages, pictures) on your Wii and access them from anywhere where you can access your Wii’s wireless signal.

Boot using normal methods *cough* HBC *cough*. Once running, will run itself. To quit, type “//quit” at the end of the web-address, so - “192.168.0.X//quit”, will now return to HBC

Place your html files in /data/web/ on the root of your sd card, must be inserted before the app is loaded. Use data.zip for demo files.

There is no directory listing and your homepage must be called “index.html”

Here is a game that seems pretty interesting

Translated from Google:

This time I decided to change his platform and I started to conquer the Wii.
It is therefore with the first port to test the beast that I come back and run the court homebrew;)

For the moment it is a beta that I made a 2-day history of the test kit and my utilities conversion of images.

To install, it is best to go through the chain homebrew, the launch from TP Hack also should work in theory.
In short, it’s playing the wiimote, the DPad to move and B to jump.

Michoko has release a Lone Wolf Adventure Book for the Nintendo DS.

Here is what Michoko had to say

I finally finished book II of the Lone Wolf series for the Nintendo DS: “Fire On The Water”. For those who had missed the first volume, Flight From The Dark, this is an attempt at porting good old paper gamebooks to the DS console.

So what’s new in this second book?
- A totally new and exciting adventure!
- Improved the game engine for handling more complex events
- Made 4 new musics (1 intro and 3 ingame) for even more variety
- Added mini-games
- Added merchants
- and many other fixes and improvements

You can get the game here : http://www.projectaon.org/staff/frederic/index.php

(please don’t host the ROM on your site but use this link instead, as required by the Project Aon licensed)

I’m now using the new EFSLib by Noda, which should add some improvements in speed and compatibility with SLOT 2 linkers. It should even work now in emulators (except for loading/saving maybe). As this is a Release Candidate, if you encounter a problem or a bug, please tell me and I’ll try to fix it for the 1.0 release. Thank you for your feedback!

I have also added Book 1: Flight from the dark

/SLASH…. Take that Big N, Team Twiizers has released a beta version of the Twilight Hack for Firmware 3.3! We can confirm that it is up and working just as it did before! Great job guys!

Per Marcan on the HackMii site:

This new version of the Twilight Hack is compatible with version 3.3 of the Wii System Menu, using the workarounds explained in previous posts. Thanks to everyone on IRC who contributed to the search for the bugs, and to tmbinc and tehpola for finding the two bugs that make this possible.

Changelog for this release:

* The Twilight Hack is now compatible with version 3.3 of the Wii System Menu.
* Improvements in video configuration. The entire console should now be visible in all video modes, and scrolling has been improved.
* For the USA version, the two variants of the hack have been packed into one save file. Just select the save slot that corresponds to your version of Twilight Pricess when you start the game.
* New savegame icons by drmr. The new icons now show which region that version of the hack is for.
* This version now tries to load boot.dol, and falls back to boot.elf if boot.dol is not found.
* ???????
* Many, many bug fixes.

Download it here. Head over to Wiibrew for more information and updates. See the included README for installation and usage instructions.

Enjoy!

Some of our valuable members here at NES-Hacks have already updated to 3.3 and confirm that it works. One of our member is reporting that the PAL version of the Hack does not like Homebrew Channel v8, however, Homebrew Channel v7 works and you can upgrade to v8 after it’s installed.
