This is an official port of the OpenBOR (aka Beats of Rage) beat em up game engine to the Wii. The initial port was done by SX and the current maintainer is Plombo and Msmalik681.
Instructions
- Download the latest Wii release from http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?board=25.0 (or search for openbor on github), from the Homebrew Browser, or from the download link in the information box. (Hassle-free registration is required to download from LavaLit.) If you're not using the Homebrew Browser, extract the OpenBOR or WII/OpenBOR folder in the archive to the apps folder on your SD card, so that the executable and the folders that go with it are under sd:/apps/OpenBOR. As of build 6385 Openbor can be loaded from SD or USB and support added for Wii-U Pro Controller.
- Download mods from www.Chronocrash.com website and put the .PAK files in the Paks folder. Some of the most popular mods are:
- Beats of Rage (the original game) by Senile Team

- Demothens added support for Wii-U Pro Controller.
- v3.0.2836:
- Significantly improved performance due to further video optimizations by Plombo.
- You can now choose in the video options whether to preserve the aspect ratio (using black bars) or stretch the picture to the screen ignoring aspect ratio.

- Pressing the RESET button on the Wii causes a code dump.
- Some special move when performed facing left will cause player to move in the opposite direction.
