Since about 20,000 people -- the overwhelming majority of voters in yesterday's poll -- apparently want to see me in pain trying to get in shape with Wii Fit, it looks like it's time to suck it up and do this thing. Although I'd like to start by disclaiming that I've never really worked out with any regularity, I'm not exactly known for my physical coordination, and in school I always came pretty close to flunking PE -- so really, I'm kind of Nintendo's ideal customer.
Methodology
I'll be working with Wii Fit out about 20 game-minutes a day, 7 days a week. My program will consist of five minutes each of routines and games from the four fitness categories: strength training, aerobics, yoga, and balance games. As a control, I won't be dramatically changing up my eating habits. I'm already a reasonably healthy eater, so any physical changes will be more easily attributable to the Wii Fit regimen. I have about a week of travel scheduled this month, so for whatever days I miss on Wii Fit I'll be extending the trial. I'll chart my changes in weight, BMI, coordination, etc. and thoughts on the experience in a weekly update for the next five weeks. Current stats
Height: 6-feet
Weight: 174.5 pounds
Frame: small-to-medium
BMI according to Wii Fit: 23.65 (upper cusp of normal)
Wii Fit "Body age": 36
Wii Fit goal (you have to set a goal for yourself)
Target weight: 169.5 pounds
Target BMI: 22.96
Target date: 6/12

There's not a lot of details on this one just yet, but Activision CEO Mike Griffith has dropped word in an earnings conference call that the company's upcoming Guitar Hero: On Tour game / controller combo will not only be released on its own this June, but in a new Nintendo DS bundle as well. No word on a price, unfortunately, nor is there any indication that the DS itself will be undergoing any Guitar Hero-inspired changes, but it seems like those little details should be making themselves known soon enough.

Mac manufacturer Apple filed a patent in November 2006 for a 3D remote control system for its Apple TV set-top box, it was revealed today.
The patent describes a system that can detect the location of the device and what it's pointing at, according to Apple Insider. Wii Remote, anyone?
"[The] remote control system also can include optional console," the filing apparently states.
"Console can have controller that can perform some or all of the processing described for controller."
It sounds to us like the console in question is the Apple TV set-up box and not a console in the gaming sense of the word. The patent continues:
"Console also can have one or more connectors to which accessories can be coupled. Accessories can include cables and/or, game cartridges, portable memory devices (e.g., memory cards, external hard drives, etc.), adapters for interfacing with another electronic device (e.g., computers, camcorders, cameras, media players, etc.), or combinations thereof."
We don't think Sony and Microsoft have got anything to worry about, but folks at Nintendo should be keeping an eye out. It seems like Apple wants a slice of the casual pie that Wii currently holds with both hands.
And if it's a choice between Apple TV with Wii functionality and Wii 2 in a few years time, Apple could be a competitor in the casual market.via Computer and Video Games

Look at all those new games on the Wii Virtual Console; there's four of them and they're all really old.
It's all part of this Hanabi festival for games that never made it to Europe, so there are things like pool/snooker offering Break In (TurboGrafx) and surreal side-scrolling shooter Cho Aniki (TurboGrafx) on offer.
There's Puyo Puyo 2 (Megadrive) as well, but they're all a bit expensive at 900 Wii Points (GBP 6.30 / EUR 9 approx). Silly old festival.
The only one we'd probably snap up on face value is Metal Slug for the NeoGeo. There's no inflation in its asking price of 900 Wii Points (GBP 6.30 / EUR 9 approx), and we remember it rather fondly.
Of course, memories are deceptive, which is why we have our very own Virtual Console roundup each week to tell you what is and isn't worth picking up.
Look out for that over the weekend, then.

Here i have another wii-linux distribution, this time with SDLMAME inside , what will let you play all those old arcade machines. I don´t recommend to use the homebrew channel to launch the wii-linux kernel, as it has some problems with NWC24. Apart of that, to use this version of SDLMame for wii you will have to be VERY patient, as it has very high times of loading. Once the rom is loaded, it works all right (85-90% of original speed without frameskip). Here are the downloads and the and the readme for wii (you have the original documents and manual with the binaries):
Download binaries:
http://rapidshare.com/files/11366951...-full.zip.html
Download sources:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EEABKJDUSDLMame 0.125 for Wii-linux distro
__________________________________________
This is a wii-linux distribution that includes the emulator SDLMAME 0.125
compiled for PowerPC. This emulator is the result of the efforts of the MAME
team MAME. The source code that was used for this distro was taken from the
SDLMame project, kept updated by Olivier Galibert and R. Belmont, and with the
colaborationcon of Sven Gothel, couriersud and Vas Crabb. The original code
can be found here:
http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163
Also, this distribution uses the wii-linux kernel POC 0.4, that can be found
on its original page:
http://www.gc-linux.org
Specifications
______________
This distro uses
- Kernel 2.6.24 (wii-linux POC 0.4)
- 52MB of MEM2 for swap
- 100 MB of swap on the SDCard

_________
SDLMAME will let you play roms from old arcade systems. Here is the basic configuration,
but it can be change by the user whenever he wants:

[A] Button 1 / Select a rom
[b] Button 2
[Y] Button 3
[X] Button 4

[R] Button 6
[Z] ESCAPE (CANCEL)/(EXIT)
[START] Pause/Options menu
[YELLOW Analog UP] Coin PLAYER 1

[YELLOW Analog LEFT] SAVE STATE
[YELLOW Analog RIGHT] LOAD STATE
INSTALLATION
____________
To play with this emulator, you need a Wii homebrew enabled console (Twilight hack or Homebrew Channel).
And you will an SDCard.
To install this version of SDLMame:
- Copy the files "boot.elf" and "mamefs-fs to the root directory of your sdcard.
- Copy the directory mame and its contents to the root directory of your sdcard.

aplications (Twilight hack or homebrew channel).

After the loading part, it plays at normal speed (85-90% of original speed without
frameskip and without lags)
- No keyboard or wii joystick support
- Problems using TV in 480p or rgb components

YodaJr has released a new version of his excellent Mario game for the GBA, heres the details:
Y'est Ha! Here, finally, the final version of this foutu Thursday
So the program since version neoflash:
-- New original music composed by archilolo (change of the lib his way: use of lib ADPCM of Nrx to replace krawall)
-- Better management of the vertical scroll (mario not found any more on top of the screen 70% of the time).
-- A problem revised downwards (redesign levels, fewer enemies, 4 checkpoints instead of a level 2).
-- Integration of a backup system that will safeguard levels and finished PAcoins recovered.
-- More than Foley.
-- Alterations graphics.
-- And of course lots of bugs fixed (probably those of the video krazplay)
I did it in the first post of the topic, but I would like to thank my compatriots and omg archilolo, without whom this project would probably not see the day ... In any case, certainly not in this form
So, enjoy
PS: For more details and the list of thanks is there

EA Sports president Peter Moore tells Eurogamer that the division is working on a Wii fitness game utilizing the pressure-balancy-board thing. The game will release under the new casual-oriented Freestyle label and will focus on "western" cardio workouts instead of Wii Fit's "eastern holistic fitness."
EA's version of Wii Fit is intended to make the user sweat while still having fun. Although Moore wouldn't get into specifics of the game, he would say that the key is to distract the user and make them have fun without realizing they're having a good workout. Hopefully, EA's exercise game will come with a Shamwow and some disinfectant spray for the board. Yes, we've now come to fear the fungal side of Wii Fit.

So Nintendo showed up at our place today with a Wii Fit -- and an accompanying personal trainer to crack the whip and make sure our half hour of intro exercises and fitness games burned a sufficient amount of calories. Things we learned: our BMI is on the upper end of the "normal" bracket (shocking, considering how sedentary we are blogging 12 hours a day), our balance is kind of crappy, our "body age" is 39 -- over a decade more than our real age -- and no, not even Nintendo can make a fitness game that doesn't feel at least vaguely like PE. And now the 64k question:
