Nintendo Wii

Hey guys, my Nintendo Wii is now online, thanks to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router :)

(Please reply to this comment including your Friend Code after you add mine)

BTW, to this date unfortunately there's still no way to deploy home-brew code that take advantage of the Wii capabilities. I can't hardly wait for the day when we'll be able to natively run MSX emulators on it :)

It is possible however to run Linux over Gamecube, which should run fine on the Wii as well, albeit with the hardware restrictions of good ol' cube. Did anyone try to compile and run OpenMSX on top of that?

Screen 2 gets some more love

After some email exchanges with ARTRAG, he and Robsy succeeded in creating their own C version of the Screen 2 conversor, using the same algorithm from the MSX Screen Conversor (PHP).

Here is the result:

Good job guys :)

MSX music on a Wii game

Ok, so I was browsing for some Wii game trailers when this came across:

Hmmm, I wonder where did I hear that song before? :)

It's from STAR SOLDIER of course! :) Check it out:

Update: now with youtube links

The Free Speech Flag

1. Anonymous guy discovers the HD-DVD Processing Key that bypasses the encryption scheme of most of the HD-DVD discs available
2. Someone posts the discovery on digg.com
3. Digg.com admins censor the post, ban users
4. Users are pissed, start posting about the censorship
5. Posts on digg's homepage multiply by the minute, Digg's admins give lame excuse on blog post
6. Digg.com's homepage is plastered with the processing key, expressed in new and creative ways

... thus, the Free Speech Flag is born:

Remember the 1st of May.
