LuaFWii is a Lua player made by the_marioga that allows you to load your homebrew and Lua scripts on your Wii. It is based on LUA for Wii and updated to Lua 5.1.4 (5.2.2 for version 1.2).

The homebrew was presented in the Scenery Beta 2010 (Wii Applications, 1st place).

Installation

Extract archive to the root of your SD card,

Replace the script.lua next to the dol file in sd:/apps/LuaFWii.

You can also replace the meta.xml and the icon.png with your own.

Open the Homebrew Channel, selecting LuaFWii to load it.

0.99

• Load and Play WAV.
• Colors in RGB and RGBA.
• Color function.
• Slightly reduce the error because it goes off-screen on some TVs.

0.96 SB Edition

• Many new Controls functions added.
• Changed the print function (although barely noticeable).

• Other improvements in the code.

0.9

• Fixed bugs when playing ogg and mp3 files.
• Incorporated an "emergency system" to prevent crashing if the font error.ttf is not found.

0.8

• Ported to SDL, resulting in the following improvements:
  • Support for all SDL image formats, including transparency in png.
  • Support for all SDL sound formats, although it's more of a disadvantage as it's very bad at reading mp3 and ogg (I'll see how to fix this).
  • Support for many more geometric shapes.

  • Improved the way modules (sound, screen, controls, and system) are loaded for faster performance.
