Homebrew - Wiiengine 1.5B - Image 1Wiibrew developer Hermes has released an update to WiiEngine, an emulator of the classic PC Engine and Turbo Grafx 16 systems for the Wii.

Major updates in this version! The program now supports several new compression formats, as well as ISOs. There are new features you won't want to miss as well, including support for up to four Wiimotes, save states, and screen captures.

Here's the changelog from Hermes, translation courtesy of Google:
  • Supports roms in. PCE or compressed. Bz2 (the program can compress to this format, by pressing a button) or. Zip
  • Supports ISO and a special file. Toc which contains a description of all tracks of audio-data. Ie: my emulator also supports the audio (which can be in formats. WAV or. OGG) or discs with multiple tracks of data.
  • I have prepared a utility for you to create the file. Toc and tracks data in. Iso formato.ogg and audio from a CD-ROM image in CUE / BIN
  • It supports up to four Wiimote and you can configure the buttons to add autofire or exchange them, for example
  • You can save the state complete a game to recover and continue playing later. The saves are compressed to minimize space
  • You can capture a frame format. Bmp and then display it from the same Wii or export it to the PC to portray a good death XD, a score achieved or curiosity. When entering a rom the meter is set to 0 and will catch numbering in succession. On the stand CDROM, for example, Dracula X is reduced its size from 506MB of. Bin to only 63 MB using iso / ogg.
  • I strongly recommend that you read the readme.txt, especially how to create files. Toc (though the utility bincuesplit it will create everything automatically, if you have the game on CD-ROM image format BIN / CUE.

    • TimeSplitters 4 - Image 1


    Slowly but surely, the new TimeSplitters game is getting more and more developments. And today, we've got an oh-so-teaseriffic teaser trailer rootin'-and-tootin' with none other than Sir Chipalot. Oh, and the pic above is wallpaper-friendly (1280x1024), just in case you were asking.

    Notice the logo of Free Radical at the start of the trailer - I'm sure you've seen something like it somewhere before coughStarWarscough . Just goes to show that the Free Radical team still has their playfulness intact. They are, after all, already confirmed to make potshots at other franchises like Gears of War and Halo in this upcoming TimeSplitters game.

    Here's the trailer:

    • 'The Conduit' Already Has 'MotionPlus' Support, WiiSpeak Too - Image 1 'The Conduit' Already Has 'MotionPlus' Support, WiiSpeak Too - Image 2


    Here's some hope that the Wii could actually support a hardcore shooter playerbase. According to High Voltage Software, WiiSpeak is a go for The Conduit, as well as MotionPlus.

    WiiSpeak is Nintendo's voice chat solution for the console which they announced back at E3. The MotionPlus accessory was also an E3 reveal. It basically lends your Wiimote more accuracy in motion tracking.

    Don't worry if you don't have these peripherals though. High Voltage Software's Eric Nofsinger says that the game is designed to be fun with just the Wiimote and nunchuk. He says that with or without the peripherals, and even without online connectivity, "if you don't have anything but your Wii and the game, it's got to be fun."

    Peripherals be damned - this game is gonna rock. Nofsinger mentioned that while the game will support MotionPlus, it doesn't mean that the game will be "gimmicky":

    I think one of our early mandates in design and with the control in general is we didn t want to be gimmicky. We do have a lot of Wii-specific controls with some of the weaponry, but we didn t want to be a waggle Wiimote kind of game. There s nothing in the game like that.


    I have high hopes for this game. It seems the studio is too - they don't have a publisher yet and they already have a sequel in mind. Nofsinger mentioned last month that they will push to start the sequel right away. Recently he also mentioned the sequel when talking about the game's support for MotionPlus:

    Probably for this version of the game there s not going to be a whole ton of really extensive use of the Wii MotionPlus. For the sequel to the game, we definitely do want to incorporate more melee and things like that.
