This is a short overview of some Wii Homebrew apps I'm working.

This console app demonstrates a STDIO input via the gamecube pad. You can enter text via the gamepad by selecting the character. The app is designed to use callbacks for giving a visual response to the user. So basically it can be used for every idea how to display the character selection with a text console (like in my app) or a graphical user interface (e.g. like the keyboard in Opera).

Usage:

Left/Right - scroll through characters by 1 step
Up/Down - scroll through characters by 5 steps (like Page Up/Down)
Z - switch through character lists (LowerCase, UpperCase, Numeric, Special)
B - use this character; this is like pressing the character on keyboard
X - Space
A - finish character selection; this is like pressing Enter on keyboard

PAL 576p Test Binary

This app initializes the Wii in a 576p Mode and displays some text. This is only a showcase that this video format is usable on Wii.

You need the following:

PAL Wii set to EDTV 480p mode
After boot you should see a line "Video Mode: 16", everything else is not 576p!
