Manny2008 has just released for the Nintendo Wii. Wiituka is an Amstrad CPC / Schneider CPC computer emulator. The Amstrad CPC (Color Personal Computer) was a series of machines that was released between 1980-1990 and featured a 8-bit processor clocked at 4MHz and used a tape drive and 3" disk drive to store it's programs and games on.

Wiituka is the first release of a fantastic emulator of this 8bit computer, developed by D_Skywalk; usually noob user, feel sad with computer emulator, because the doesn't even know how to RUN games.. we Wiituka issue is solved.. because automatically download the games, and execute it like!! "Virtual Console" or Hombrew Browser!!! also using the Gunstick Emulation with the wiimote is incredible!!!

Current Wiituka Features:

* Is like real an Amstrad CPC 6128.
* A comfortable Interface that tries to resemble "Virtual Console"
* With online support, download your games from coach.
* First emulator with CPC Gunstick Emulation (Yeah!)
* And the first Wii program that emulates a Green Monitor (Wtf!?!)

BossK has released a new version of his port of ScummVM a game interpreting engine for the Nintendo Wii. Using this "engine" along with the data files from the supported point and click adventure games you can play them on your Wii.

I made a new build for those interested in it. Nothing major, except ScummVM progress of course.

[labonte]

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.
