Heres the details from Datel:
WiFi MAX is your ticket to the exciting world of online gaming, and it couldn't be simpler to use. Just plug your USB WiFi dongle into your internet-enabled PC to create a Wireless Access Point. You can then connect to the internet and play online-enabled multiplayer games with DS and Wii gamers from all over the world. Just the thing if you don't have a wireless router! Best of all, WiFi MAX supports up to five ‘local' DS gamers at a time, so you and your mates can all play online at once with no loss of speed!...
Don’t forget, there’s more to the Nintendo Wii’s online service than playing games. You can also download additional material such as new levels, skins, artwork and even retro games! That’s right – Nintendo is gradually making its back-catalogue classics for old Nintendo machines such as the NES, SNES and N64 available to Wii owners through the Virtual Arcade service. And with WiFi MAX, you can download them through your broadband internet connection! Just think what you’ll be missing out on if you don’t take your Wii online…
As WiFi MAX operates on the Wireless G standard, it's five times faster than an ordinary WiFi connection, and if you use our USB cable and dongle stand (supplied), you can position your dongle to maximise WiFi range. If you have other WiFi-enabled devices capable of using the internet, such as laptops or PDAs, you can take them online with WiFi MAX too. It's the ultimate device for internet surfing without a WiFi router!by Published on December 9th, 2006 21:32
Datel the makers of Freeloader for the Gamecube and many other console products have posted that they are working on a Freeloader for the Nintendo Wii:
If you have one of the later versions of Action Replay or FreeLoader for GameCube, you can use it on your Nintendo Wii when playing GameCube games. It won’t work with Wii – titles – it’s a GameCube product after all – but those who trade in their Cubes and invest in a Wii can carry on playing their imported GameCube games with FreeLoader and enhancing the experience with Action Replay.
“But will there be a FreeLoader or Action Replay for the Wii?”, we hear you cry. “We want to play multiregion Wii games, and bust them wide open too!” All we can say at present is watch this space – we’re working on it, and if it’s possible, you’ll be the first to know.
Awesome news from Datel, the sooner the better for me

Easy expansion: A bay for an SD memory card will let players expand the internal flash memory.

An Introduction
I paid a lot for my Nintendo Wii as it is a USA Version console and with shipping and customs charges, But for me a US version is better for me as games are cheaper and accessories in the long run.
What do you get
The Nintendo Wii comes in a fairly small box and when you open it has what can be explained as shelves, in the shelves comes the Nintendo Wii Console which is roughly the size of a DVD Case and 3 times the depth, theres a stand and also an extra plastic bit that fits under the stand to make it steady, theres the sensor bar and small stand that can either be fit above your TV or below it, i stuck the sensorbar to the top of the TV.
Because it was a US Wii i had to buy a Step down transformer, so if you do import a console then make sure you buy the transformer. You get one Wiimote and one Nunchuka controller.
The Controllers
Before i go any further, you have to throw away everything you remember as a gamer because Nintendo have rewritten the book with the Wiimote and Nunchuka Controllers, gameplaying with these controllers will change the way gaming is forever.
The first time you play Tennis (wii sports), Boxing, Baseball, Bowling and Golf you will have realised what all the fuss was about, using a controller the normal way will never give you the same feeling as using a Wiimote.
Lets just say that the controllers on the games where they are utilised perfectly and youll believe your in the game and remember theres no crappy wires to get in the way, sure youll have to change the AA batteries in the Wiimote every once in a while but if i was you i would buy some 2500MAH Rechargeable batteries, then your only paying out the once.
One thing to note is that you must use the strap, maybe for adults they wont need it but for teenagers and children you dont want a Window breaking or the TV getting smashed. A firm grip on the Wiimote should be made clear to everyone who plays with it.
The Console
The Wii is a nicely compact console thats similiar in size to a PC DVD Player, to insert Games you just push into the slot and the Wii sucks the game in (for want of a better explanation).
On the front of the Wii you have the Game Slot, Power, reset and eject buttons and also an hidden compartment with a Sync button which when you add new controllers you must press the sync on both controller and console. Theres also a SD Card Slot in the same compartment.
On the side of the console theres 2 more hidden slots and behind them are 4 Gamecube Controller ports and 2 Memory Card Ports.
So the Wii is Perfect for Gamecube Games and will have no problems with the classics you like on that console.
Also on the back of the console is Broadband ports but when you have Wifi in the console you really dont need them, get a wireless router
The Graphics
In time the Wii will be pushed to the extreme on the Graphical Front, but at the moment you could say these are Gamecube Style Graphics but look more polished. One look at Zelda tells ...by Published on December 9th, 2006 15:14

News/release from sanguinus of an update to his application for the PSP that takes screenshots from your PC and more.
Ver 1.0 Now with mouse control.
Current Release ver 1.0:--
Mouse Control-
Dpad Up => Mouse Up
Dpad Down => Mouse Down
Dpad Left => Mouse Left
Dpad Right => Mouse Right
Left Click - Cross
Right Click - Square
Double Click - Triangle
Exit PC app - Circle
Config file to control view mode and mouse speed.
Open usb/net hostfs.
Run the eboot in the luaplayer folder.
It should run if you get an error mentioning JPG then try again it just means the EXE and the PBP are out of sync.
This has only been tried on USBhostfs as I could not set up Nethostfs on my computer. The EXE was programmed on VB6 and was tested on Windows Vista RC1 should work on most versions of windows. Please give it a go and tell me what you think.
You can increase or decreasing the speed by changing the line
Quote:
screen.waitVblankStart(10 )
by decreasing 10 it goes faster but will reduce stability by increasing it, it will become more stable but the screen will refresh less often.

New from Weltall:
cwcheat for dh 0.51/3.x
this is just a quick fix consider it still a beta. it's based on the latest dh 0.50 version. Other than the problem found for the dh 0.50 version with 3.x (2.82 isn't affected also with dh 0.51) it seems that opening with sceioopen a file in disc0: makes the psp immediately crash the same can be said about isofs: but it happens less times and by putting cwcheat in the end of the prx load list it works almost 90% of times. It's a strange problem like some kind of protection but i can't be sure about this as i didn't reverse engineer the 3.x firmwares.
So if someone which knows 3.x very well like BOOSTER could contact me it could be really usefull
to make this completely stable
to install this just copy the prx in the /dh/05/kd/ folder and copy the included pspbtcnf_game_dh.txt in the /dh/302/f0/kd/ or /dh/301/f0/kd/ folder
if you want to do it manually (but sometimes this can lead to this not working for unknown reason) open the pspbtcnf_game_dh.txt in the /dh/301/f0/kd/ or /dh/302/f0/kd/ folder with an editor supporting UNIX/DOS file editing or wordpad and add /kd/cwcheat.prx #DEVHOOK after
$/kd/iofilemgr_dnas.prx
eg:
$/kd/iofilemgr_dnas.prx
/kd/scere.prx #DEVHOOK
$%/kd/usersystemlib.prx
%%/kd/dummy_anchor_IhariUafaayk 98.prx
enjoy
in the next days i plan to to relink what is possible with devhook and if someone could help me finding the problem (or a workaround) to opening files on umd (eg: BOOSTER) it would be really appreciated
for the other needed files download the latest 2.71SE REV B release
