If you are willing to create a branch of Abbaye which calls SDL_SetWindowDisplayMode to set the video mode, then it will be easier for me to add the missing support.

Apologies dude, I didn't notice you requested this until now. I made a branch here: https://github.com/JeffRuLz/abbayedesmorts-3ds/tree/wii

First of all, I made it so it sets the display mode to 320x240 if it detects a file called 240p.txt (here). I'm not really sure if I did that correctly.
Also, setting SDL_WII_JOYSTICK_SIDEWAYS doesn't seem to change anything. The d-pad is still oriented like the remote is upright. It's set before SDL_Init so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong there.

And lastly, since this game runs at 256x192 I wanted to display it in the center of the screen with a border filling the remaining space. When the window size doesn't match the logical size then the game is displayed in the top left corner. I believe the standard SDL behavior is to center the screen to the window, but I may be remembering wrong.

Well, any SDL2 samples should work. As for games, I personally ported these two:

- https://github.com/mardy/VVVVVV/
- https://github.com/mardy/oceanpop/tree/wii-port

Thansk!
After a bit of looking, I tried porting Sonic Robo Blast 2 to the Wii since it uses SDL and has a Software Renderer, but it's refusing to boot, seems to be failing at SYS_Init, do you have any idea what could be happenning?
My current work is at the Github Repo Fancy2209/SRB2

Also, I (succesfully this time) ported Sonic Robo Blast 2.1.25 to the Wii, but the Joystick api reports there are 0 Joysticks avaliable, this prevents me from using any kind of controller, Wii Remote, Classic Controller or GameCube Controller.
Any ideas? It's not that great to need to plug a keyboard in.
This is the repo: https://github.com/Fancy2209/SRB2/tree/Wii2125

The problem is that joysticks take some time to appear. You can either change to the polling API, or add this at the beginning of the game (after SDL_init()):


    while (SDL_NumJoysticks() == 0) {
        SDL_PumpEvents();
    }
