Free nintendo wii software for linux

RT-Thread is a real-time operating system. It is designed specifically for small memory footprint platforms. The kernel supports the tranditional RTOS services, such as multiple threads, semaphores, mutexes, event flags, mailboxes, etc.
RT-Thread project also provides a C-expression interpreter shell, from which a programmer can access kernel variables and invoke system functions.
Main features:
Kernel Object System
- There is a kernel object system, which can access and manage all of the kernel objects. Kernel objects include most of the facilities in the kernel, for example, thread, semaphore etc. Kernel objects can be static objects, whose memory is allocated in compiling. It can be dynamic objects as well, whose memory is allocated from system heaps in runtime. Through the kernel object system, RT-Thread operating system can be independent from the memory management system and greatly enhance the scalability of the system.
Multi-Task/Thread Scheduling
- RT-Thread operating system supports multi-task systems, which are based on thread scheduling. The scheduling algorithm used in RT-Thread operating system is a full preemptive priority-based scheduling algorithm. It supports 256 priority levels, in which 0 is the highest and 255 the lowest. The 255th priority is used for idle thread. The scheduling algorithm also supports threads running at same priority level. The shared time-slice round-robin scheduling is used for this case. The time of scheduler to determine the next highest ready thread is determinant. The number of threads in the system is unlimited, only related with RAM.
Synchronization Mechanisms
- RT-Thread operating system supports the traditional semaphore and mutex. Mutex objects use inherited priority to prevent priority reversion. The semaphore release action is safe for interrupt service routine. Moreover, the block queue for thread to obtain semaphore or mutex can be sorted by priority or FIFO.
Inter-Thread Communication
- RT-Thread operating systems supports event/fast event, mail box and message queue. The event mechanism is used to awake a thead by setting one or more corresponding bit of a binary number when an event ocurs. The fast event supports event thread queue. Once a one bit event occurs, the corresponding blocked thread can be found out timing accurately, then will be waked up. In mailbox, a mail length is fixed to 4 byte, which is more effective than message queue. The send action for communication facilities is also safe for interrupt service routine.
Clock and Timer
- In default, the system uses clock tick to implement shared time-slice scheduling. The timing sensitivity of thread is implemented by timers. The timer can be set as one-shot or periodic timeout.
Memory Management
- RT-Thread operating system supports two types memory management: static memory pool management and dynamic memory heap management. The time to allocate a memory block from the memory pool is determinant and when the memory pool is empty, the allocated thread can be blocked (or immediately return, or waiting for sometime to return, which are determined by a timeout parameter). When other thread releases memory blocks to this memory pool, the blocked thread is wake up.
Enhancements:
- More porting was done to Samsung S3C44b0 CPU, AMTEL AT91SAM7S64, Nintendo DS, and Intel i386.

ZSNES is a Super Nintendo emulator programmed by zsKnight and _Demo_. On April 2, 2001 the ZSNES project was GPLed and its source released to the public.

Enhancements:
- A lot of fixes to the SDL port; it can now use libao for sound output.
- There are several other fixes and an updated NTSC filter.

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.

Simple Wiimote Library for Linux (Libwiimote) is a simple C library for communicating with the Nintendo Wii Remote on a Linux system.
Even though the API strives to be minimal, it provides complete control over most features of the wiimote and nunchuk controllers.
Installation
Make sure you have BlueZ installed. Type make in the toplevel directory to build the library and sample applications. After the build is complete the library can be found in the lib directory.
Usage
In the test directory there are a couple of test applications that illustrate how to use this library.
Enhancements:
- Added support for the classic controller.

Nosefart is a player for NES Sound Format (NSF) files (which consist of audio data ripped from Nintendo Entertainment System games).
It runs as a standalone player in Linux, with both command line and GTK interfaces, as well has having plugins for Winamp, XMMS, and CL-amp.
Enhancements:
- The file selection dialog now remembers what directory you used in the last session.
- If esd (or something else) is blocking the sound card, it now pops up an error rather than just hanging.

Pingus is a free Lemmings clone for GNU/Linux and Windows covered under the GNU GPL. Pingus uses ClanLib and libxml and might also be usable on some other OSs like FreeBSD, but hasnt been tested there.

Pingus is mainly developed under GNU/Linux, thats why the Windows port is sometimes a bit behind.

Pingus has started at the end of 1998 with the simple goal to create a Free (as in freedom, not as in free beer) Lemmingstm clone. The Free means you get the sources and are allowed and encouraged to change and distribute them.

You basically get everything that I used to create this game. In the years it has grown than quite a bit over the original goal and become something more than just a clone, we have original artwork, a built-in level editor, new actions, multiplayer and a few other features.

If you dont know Lemmingstm, here comes a short introduction. Its a puzzle game developed in 1991 by DMA Design. The player takes command in the game of a bunch of small animals and has to guide them around in levels. Since the animals walk on their own, the player can only influence them by giving them commands, like build a bridge, dig a hole or redirect all animals in the other direction.

The goal of each level is to reach the exit, for fix multiple combination of commands are necessary. The game is presented in a 2D site view. For more information you might want to visit Lemmingstm fanpage

While Pingus is based on the idea of Lemmingstm, it has included some other ideas, which werent presented in the original Lemmingstm, like the worldmap or secret levels, which might be familiar from games the Super Mario World and other Nintendo games. We have also a few new actions, like the jumper which werent presented in the original game.

DSLinux is a project that aims to port Linux to the Nintendo DS gaming console.
Important information:
root password for DSLinux builds since Jun 28 2005 is "uClinux" (case sensitive!)
Works on real hardware, use on emulators is not supported
Since Apr 28 2007, RAM build is integrated in the DLDI build.
