News/release from Neimod:
This package contains the necessary basic tools and project files needed to create a custom IOS module and interact with it. This is perfect for running test code on the Wii's IOS system.
Sourcecode is delivered for all tools and projects.
For compiling the ARM IOS code, devkitARM (arm-elf or arm-eabi) is needed. For compiling the PPC Wii code, devkitPPC and libOGC are needed.
Package contents:
stripios: This is a tool that will take a tradional ARM ELF file and converts it into a format the IOS system understands.
iosmodule: This is the project which will create a custom IOS module.
In order to create a working IOS module, you must supply the fixed absolute memory addresses for the module to live in, in the linker script. Currently, it defaults to the memory addresses set by the DIP module from IOS31.
To install a custom IOS module, you need to add it to the TMD of an existing IOS, and allocate it with an unused content id, or replace an existing one.
Currently, the produced IOS module is tested by replacing the DIP module from IOS 31. This is done by letting patchmii install IOS 31 as IOS 254, and replacing the contents of the DIP module with the custom IOS module.
The example main source file sets up a device called "/dev/haxx" and allows you to read/write to the IOS memory space (currently limited to the module's memory space because it is running from usermode), and allows you to upload and execute custom code.
iostester: This is the project which will interact with the custom IOS module.
In the first step, a completely position independent ARM program is compiled, and the file arm.bin is produced.
The ARM program is made position indepdenent by means of an global offset table (GOT), which the ARM program will automatically correct upon boot up.
Then the arm.bin file is automatically added into the PPC program, so that it can upload it to the custom IOS module, and let it execute it from the IOS side.
Happy hacking!

Space Shooter by pacemaker is an original 2D space shooting game. It's simple, just shoot anything that moves or shoots back. The objective is to destroy all enemies on the six levels.
Changes for Version 0.3 release:
Sped up viewport scrolling (no lagging in the viewport, but now it's jittery)
Change the way weapon systems work (cumulative, not individual)
Initialize random seed for different powerups each time.
Restructure internal code to detect and interface with controllers.
Added code to allow multiple control options (Pad, Tilt Pad, Nunchuk, Gamecube).
Menu is always accessible via Wii Remote Home button.
Big Bombs now shoot backwards.
Added two levels and made "The Horde" level a bit easier.
Improved BibSound code substantially, it's now double buffered
Fixed bug where some sounds were accidently repeated
Added mp3 background playing to BibSound code.

News from Scognito
Finally today I decided to write a post for my next upcoming homebrew game for the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube: it is called Piero’s Wicross.
As the name suggest it is based on a popular puzzle game Mario’s Picross, a game based on an existing puzzle game called Nonogram.
For those who don’t know what game I’m talking about, here it is a brief description of the original game, from wikipedia :
Nonograms or Paint by Numbers are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid have to be colored or left blank according to numbers given at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers measure how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of “4 8 3″ would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive groups.
I swear it is simpler than expected!
The development of the game is nearly done for both platforms, so what the game really needs are the levels.
Since I’m too lazy to create them, I decided that levels will made by YOU!
Yes, I wrote also an online level editor for the purpouse, where is possible to easily create puzzles throught a simple interface, so what expect to write your own one?
The best 50 levels will be put in the game as official ones, so head over and write yours!
Go to Wiicross Level Editor!

Nintendo might be cranking out new DS Lite colors left and right, but IGN says something bigger's brewing in Kyoto -- a third iteration of the DS with dual touchscreen displays, one of them widescreen. Those are pretty significant changes, so we'd actually say that sounds more like a second-gen DS rather than another rev of the current hardware, but IGN says the rumored release date of April or May 2009 doesn't jive with a whole new unit. We'll see when we see -- hopefully we won't be waiting long.
PS.- That's just IGN's mockup, don't get too excited.

This program by tona will download IOS37 from the Nintendo update servers, patch it, and install it as IOS249--making a completely functional "clone" of Waninkoko's cIOS. This process does not involve any system-critical parts of the system, and should be completely safe. Of course, however, this software comes with no warranty whatsoever.
Also, if this applications detects IOS249 installed, it will attempt uninstallation. So... You can run it once to install, run it again to uninstall. Pretty simple.
Why
Waninkoko's cIOS patches are useful, but a couple of barriers prevent many people from installing it. One, the normal installer requires someone "find," build, or dump a WAD of IOS37. Two, some people feel an aversion to Waninkoko's applications (on which I have no comment). Patchmii has been out for longer than cIOS, and it's perfect for the task. I finally found a use for cIOS and decided this might be useful in helping surmount the aforementioned barriers.
Differences
All of the patches are the same as in Waninkoko's cIOS. Although I haven't checked, I'd be willing to bet that the patched IOS modules have the same produced sha-1 hash as Waninkoko's installer generates. Except for Content 0 ;-)
Changelog
v2: Fixes one patch that was done incorrectly before (oops!)
