Wow, congrats! I love Abuse, I actually bought it back then...
Gonna have to try this, my wii hasn't been used for a long time.

You wouldn't like to port Exult, too, would you? 😉

Not much of an Ultima fan, I'm afraid. Looks like it should be possible, though, since it reportedly uses SDL and has been widely ported.

Yeah, shouldn't be too hard if one knows what to do, but sorry, don't let me sidetrack your topic 😉

ABUSE! What a great game!

Can I dolphin it?

Check the link; I included some Dolphin instructions there.

It seemed to run poorly for me, though, probably because a different framebuffer emulation mode is needed for homebrew.

I haven't any interest in hacking my Wii to play homebrew stuff, but it's still neat that you were able to pull this off. ;)

The release of the game most people will have does indeed have multiplayer support which is essentially deathmatch across special multiplayer-specific maps. I actually tested it and recorded some multiplayer footage of Abuse when I was making the ADG episode, but I didn't show it because it just amounted to me controlling one character while the other sat there motionless. It only works over IPX so I'm not sure how you would even attempt to get that working on the Wii. :/

And yes, the editor does have some special controls over the main game... Too many to list. >_>;

Update on the Ultima thing: I took a quick look at the source and ran away screaming. They're using some build configuration tool that is supposed to be better than autotools and cmake, but it doesn't seem to handle cross-compiling easily and I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Huh? It uses the autotools like many standard linux things. Autogen.sh and configure, make easy as pie

Actually very similar to dosbox.
Seriously have you looked at Exults source or at something else? I'm using it to cross compile all the time. There is only *one* problem, that Exult puts its data files in a container via a tool that needs to be run on the build system and that gives errors on cross compiling.
You should get those by building it once for the build system and then once via "./configure --disable-data --disable-tools".

Whoops, must have confused it with Wesnoth or something.

Sweet i assume it can be downloaded through home brew browser. I most definitely have a modded wii.

Yep, I made sure to get Abuse Wii on the homebrew browser 😀

I've finally released an update to this that I've been putting off for almost two years now.

No idea if/when it will be updated on the Homebrew Browser, but you can download it from the Google Code project page and install it manually.
