Well, I was wondering what other people thought might be useful tools or channels for the Wii.
Since developing is done in spare time and for free by anybody with the knowledge and boredom, you can't exactly request anything. Which is all fine and dandy since it is free, there's no room for complaint there!
But there surely isn't a barrier keeping us away from speculation is there? :V
Since everyone has different thoughts and needs, perhaps putting ideas out there might spark interest or conversation towards new ideas for development.
Or it could just be fun.
And we're already past the whole ISO loader thing and even 3.3 downgrading so it's not like anyone can ask for anything entirely stupid that's not already accomplished by now! (in before xbox emulator and/or develop it yourself)
one last time to make it clear SPECULATION THREAD
The things I have on my mind right now are;
- Tool that lets you load and and run python scripts (non-graphical), since I do believe that python has been ported to the Wii. (Could be file-manager and load or just auto-load script.py or something. Cute for terminal stuff?)
- Ocarina cheat engine code manager tool for the Wii. (sd://code_db/ would contain GAMEID.txt files. Codemgr for Wii opens the one you pick, lets you choose your cheats, and exports to sd://codes/GAMEID.cht)
- USB, SD, SDHC, DVD-ROM supporting File Manager. (Copy from DVD and perhaps Wii, Copy/Write to/from USB/SD/SDHC.)
- Archiver. (7z, etc.)
- X Server through WiFi/Eth? (Out there idea, because Wii not running an OS with graphics is due to X being so large, but could a slim X server by itself be implemented so that you could simple use the Wii for a display to the TV from a box? XFree86? XFast? XGGI?)
- Diagnostic/Stress test tool? (hey, why not.)
- Wiki
- Imageboard
- telnet that just connects to the starwars in ASCII thing
- IPV6 lol I DUNNO
- Screensaver (wiisaver, eh maybe someone can just make an aquarium with fish or something)
- Apophysis Fractal Flame Renderer (naw thats too hard and would probably be slow, or just port the screensaver version and use low settings THAT WOULD BE NEAT IN BEFORE ELECTRIC SHEEP)
