Free homebrew wii software for linux

KWiideo is a video encoder for the mjpeg codec, which is supported by the Nintendo Wii.

You can use mencoder or ffmpeg as encoder. If you want to add subtitles you have to use mencoder, because ffmpeg cant add srt files to videos (maybe ffmpeg can do it, but didnt found a function for it).

You can set the quality of the output video using the quality slider. Available values 1 (best quality, largest files) to 30 (poor quality, small files). An other way to change the quality is setting the bitrate. High bitrates create better quality, but the filesize increase. It is not possible to use the quality slider and the bitrate setting function at the same time. Changing the bitrate seems not to work with mencoder and mjpeg as codec, you better take the quality slider when you use mencoder as encoder.

For splitting the video, you need avisplit. Comments are welcome.

DeSmuME project is a Nintendo DS emulator that can run both commercial games and homebrew applications.

The original author of DeSmuME is YopYop156. He has stopped working on it on the beginning of april 2006 and passed the torch to a new team of developers. You can now follow the progress of DeSmuME on this site.

MythTV project is a suite of programs that allow you to build the mythical home media convergence box on your own using Open Source software and operating systems.
MythTV is a project aiming to create a homebrew set-top box. The end goal is to have a nice interface for watching TV, recording shows, listening to music, etc., all displayed on a TV and controlled by a remote.
Main features:
- Basic live-tv functionality. Pause/Fast Forward/Rewind "live" TV.
- Support for multiple tuner cards and multiple simultaneous recordings.
- Distributed architecture allowing multiple recording machines and multiple playback machines on the same network, completely transparent to the user.
- Compresses video in software using rtjpeg (from Nuppelvideo) or mpeg4 (from libavcodec). Full support for Hardware MPEG-2 encoder cards (Hauppauge PVR-250 / PVR-350). Preliminary support for DVB cards and the new pcHDTV tuner card.
- Support for the (very nice looking) hardware MPEG-2 decoder and TV out present on the Hauppauge PVR-350.
- Completely automatic commercial detection/skipping
- Grabs program information using xmltv.
- A fully themeable menu to tie it all together.
The television portion allows you to do the following:
- You may pause, fast-forward and rewind live Television.
- You may install multiple video capture cards to record more than one program at a time.
- You can have multiple servers, each with multiple capture cards in them. All servers are centrally managed and all programs are scheduled by the Master backend.
- You can have multiple clients (called "frontends" in MythTV parlance), each with a common view of all available programs. Any client can watch any program that was recorded by any of the servers. Clients can be diskless and controlled entirely by a remote control.
- You may use any combination of standard analog capture card, MPEG-2, MJPEG, DVB or HDTV capture devices. With appropriate hardware, MythTV can control set top boxes, often found in digital cable and satellite TV systems.
- Program Guide Data in North America is downloaded from Zap2It.com, a subsidiary of Tribune Media Services. This free service is called DataDirect, and provides MythTV almost two weeks of scheduling information. Program Guide Data in other countries is obtained using XMLTV. MythTV uses this information to create a schedule that maximizes the number of programs that can be recorded if you dont have enough tuners.
Other modules in MythTV include:
- MythGallery, a picture-viewing application
- MythVideo, a media-viewer for content not created within MythTV
- MythDVD, a DVD viewer / ripper
- MythMusic, a music playing / ripping application which supports MP3 and FLAC
- MythGame
- MythWeather
- MythNews, a RSS news grabber
- MythBrowser, a web browser
- MythWeb, which allows you to control your MythTV system using a web browser. With MythWeb, you can schedule recordings, delete files, change keybindings and more. With proper security, you may even schedule a program over the Internet and have it immediately acted on by the scheduler.
- MythPhone, phone and videophone using SIP.

Xbox360 Controller Driver package contains the diabolixs compiled Xbox360 controller driver for Linux on the PS3.

Its been tested with Fedora Core 5 (PPC distribution) using Snes9x and Doom.

The Xbox 360 is the successor to Microsofts Xbox video game console, developed in cooperation with IBM, ATI, Samsung and SiS. Information on the console first came through viral marketing campaigns and it was officially unveiled on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information divulged later that month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.

The Xbox 360 is the first console to have a near-simultaneous launch across the three major regions, and the first to provide wireless controller support at launch. The console sold out completely at release and by the end of 2006 had sold 10.4 million worldwide.

The Xbox 360 was the first home console to be released in the seventh generation of game consoles and competes against Sonys PlayStation 3 and Nintendos Wii. Its Xbox Live service allows players to compete online as well as download games and additional content.

Sitback is actual just another tar/gzip interface. It evolved from a bash-script I wrote to handle automated backups on Linux fileservers.
The script worked ok, but it soon proved difficult and tiresome to make local modifications to the script to handle various problems or differences.
I began searching the web to find a suitable backup tool, and came up with some candidates. But none of them did exactly what I wanted, or they were just too big and filled with features that I did not need.
One of the things I needed was a way of reporting the result of a backup to office peoples So a printed report, readable by non-nerds was required.
In the end, I desided that a homebrew system was required and began to put this little tool together..
Tar has been, and is, one of the best archiving utilities around, at least on small and medium scale systems (which are what I work on), so I saw no reason to abandon tar.
It is known to be stable and produce error-free archives, why should I then start all over and invent another file-storage protocol ?
Sitback works like a kind of super-intelligent script. Just tell it what you want to backup and where to put it.. Sitback takes care of the rest, including finding the tools needed, which compression to use (if you want that), how to handle the archive device, etc. etc.
Sitback will take care of checking the files, verify the archive and maintain a little database, so that you very quickly can find out on which tape a certain file is located, without using the tape.
Sitback can run a single backup operation, or you can ask it to fork into the background and do automated backups (this is where the printed report is nice to have; no report.. or report says ERROR ..then call for support).
Sitback has a graphic interface based on ncurses, when you run it directly from the shell. Do not worry if you do not have ncurses. Sitback works fine without.
If you run Sitback as a daemon making scheduled backups, no interface is available, but the logfile contains all important messages.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug with mail-sending.. Message body contained standalone linefeeds, violating the standard.
- Now using stat64 (if available) to allow for large files (larger than 2GB) in the backup.
