    Homebrew BillardGL comes to the Wii after 22 years

    I haven't tried to build opengx for Wii Linux, but in principle it should work.

    Homebrew BillardGL comes to the Wii after 22 years

    It's not easy for me to reply, since I'm not the original author of the game, and it's all written in German :-( If someone is able to figure out how to add additional fonts I'll be glad to accept code contributions, but I'm afraid I don't have time to spend on this myself.

    Homebrew BillardGL comes to the Wii after 22 years

    Some of you might be old enough to remember the nice open source 3D game BillardGL from the early thousands (from 2002, precisely). It's written in C++ using OpenGL 1.1, which as we all know, is not supported by the Wii. Well, at least until a wise guy wrote opengx, a library that wraps the GX...

    Homebrew Project SDL 2 port ongoing

    The problem is that joysticks take some time to appear. You can either change to the polling API, or add this at the beginning of the game (after SDL_init()): while (SDL_NumJoysticks() == 0) { SDL_PumpEvents(); }

    Hardware Homebrew Poll about screen resolution (help wanted :-) )

    Hi there! I've recently ported SDL2 to the Nintendo Wii and GameCube, and while it generally works well, users have reported (and it's a problem I do see myself) that some of the top and bottom rows of the screen are cut off, meaning they don't fit into the TV screen. In order to debug that...

    Well, any SDL2 samples should work. As for games, I personally ported these two: - https://github.com/mardy/VVVVVV/ - https://github.com/mardy/oceanpop/tree/wii-port

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Hi! Another newbie here :-) I own a chipped switch, and accidentally updated the full stock firmware to 18.0. After doing that, I can still boot the Atmosphere system from Kefir and Hekate (it seems to work fine), but I cannot boot the full stock image. However, I noticed that if in Hekate I...

    PS1/2 Emulator WiiStation - Another Fork of WiiSXRX released

    Sorry if this has been asked before (I cannot find a way to search in a forum thread): can original playstation discs be used by directly inserting them into the Wii slot, or do they first need to be ripped? (I don't have any, but I could consider buy some 2nd hand ones if this works)

    Homebrew Project SDL 2 port ongoing

    No, but you can run a "git grep" in the SDL repo to see them. Here are the current ones we support; others might be added tn the future: - SDL_WII_JOYSTICK_SIDEWAYS: this you know :-) - SDL_WII_JOYSTICK_SPLIT: The wiimote and its expansion will be reported as separate joysticks Then there's a...

    Homebrew Project SDL 2 port ongoing

    Hi Jeff, some updates: - I've submitted a PR on Abbaye to support the wiimote directional keys: https://github.com/nevat/abbayedesmorts-gpl/pull/19 - Yesterday we merged a change in SDL to translate the directional movements for a Wiimote held sideways: you'll need to call...

    Thanks, I'll try to fix this next. As far as the joystick is concerned, this change fixes it, but I'll try to change SDL so that this modification won't be necessary: index 8b6b483..9381ae4 100644 --- a/src/startscreen.c +++ b/src/startscreen.c @@ -99,6 +99,10 @@ void startscreen(SDL_Window...

    Hi Jeff, I'm sorry that I didn't see your message before. Have you solved the input issues already? If not, could you please link to your source code repo, so that I can try it?

    Homebrew Project SDL 2 port ongoing

    I updated the first post: SDL2 is now in the devkitPro repositories, we've got 2D acceleration working, support for mouse cursors, and I will be very happy to help if people are trying to use it and encounter some issues. :-)

    Homebrew Project SDL 2 port ongoing

    Today I added support the using the Wiimote infrared pointing device as a mouse; it's not something that was implemented in the SDL1 port, but it seems potentially useful, since it would allow us to run some programs that require a mouse. For the time being I mapped only two buttons (A and B...

    Homebrew Project Accelerated 2D operations in SDL

    Thanks! As for World of Goo, as far as I understand the game is not open source, so I'm afraid there's little we can do about it. I found this nice page of SDL games on the wiibrew wiki (https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Category:Homebrew_using_SDL_libraries -- finally I can post links, too :-) ), and I...

    Homebrew Project Accelerated 2D operations in SDL

    Hi all! I'm happy to announce that I've added support for hardware-accelerated blit and fillrect operations to libSDL for the Wii and GameCube. I hope that the changes will be accepted into devkitPro's SDL port, but in any case in the meantime you can play with my fork (I'm not allowed to post...

    Yet another Call of duty stuck at loading

    Thanks @morning_glory, it turns out that your suggestion to try USB Loader GX instead of WiiFlow was the right one: the game loads just fine, there's not even need to change the cIOS. :) I'll file a bug on WiiFlow then, maybe it's something they can fix. And yes, I have the games installed on a...

    I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.

    Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed.
