Raz0red's Wii homebrew app Wii2600 is an Atari 2600 emulator based on the open-source Stella 2.7.2. If you're new to the whole Wii homebrew scene, an emulator will basically let you play games made for other systems on your Wii console. In this case, Atari 2600 games.

This release has a rather hefty list of updates, so let's get right to it. Here's the changelog for Wii2600 v0.2:
  • 4-player paddle support
  • Ability to set the paddle mode to use (Roll, IR, or Analog joystick)
  • Wiimote "Roll" paddle mode (similar to Bit Trip Beat)
  • Ability to set "Roll" paddle mode sensitivity and center
  • Wiimote "IR" paddle mode (rewritten since 0.1)
  • Ability to set "IR" paddle mode sensitivity
  • Analog joystick horiz/vert paddle mode (Classic, Nunchuk, Gamecube)
  • Ability to set analog paddle mode sensitivity
  • Analog joystick control support (in game and during menu navigation)
  • Driving control support (via d-pads and analog controls)
  • Ability to toggle color/BW modes from controller (Starmaster, etc.)
  • Improved sound support
  • Fixed bug that caused some games to always display at 1x (versus 2x)
  • Fixed emulation of select/reset buttons (you can now hold them down)
  • Added ability to display rom info (screenshots) when browsing (slow, see known issues)
