Alarmii Wii: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:54, 19 January 2023

Alarmii is a simple alarm application for the Wii. It allows users to set a timer or alarm, and will alert the user when the time is up.

Alarm clock.
Countdown timer.
Interval alerts.
Customizable sound samples (keep them small as SD card loading is a little slow).
Audio and Visual alerts.
And more.

To use Alarmii, simply copy the application folder to the "apps" directory on your SD card and launch it through the Homebrew Channel.

To customize the alarm sound, use ".raw" files with a 8000 Hz, 8-bit, mono format. You can use a program like WavePad to convert other file formats.

Keep in mind that larger files may take longer to load on the Wii's SD card.

Use any wiimote to adjust the numbers (you will individually adjust hours, minutes, or seconds, they will not effect each other).

Click on the alarm button to enable/disable.

Whichever number you click on will be the active mode ("set" or "remain") until you enable the alarm.

Settings/adjustments will be saved automatically when you *exit* the program.

v1.0

Added: auto-load/save settings to SD card (now you don't have to setup every time).
Added: load sound files from SD card (allowing for custom sound effects - hence, no card = no sound).
Added: visual cues at interval and alarm.
Bug fix: disabled potential rumble on exit screen.

v0.8 (alpha)

Not really a bug, but adjusting the 'numbers' independantly can be confusing.
This needs to be more intuitive - However, it really is quite logical.
PAL50 mode is not vertically centered accordingly (but things all fit of course.

Team Tweezers, plus all involved in creating the Wii HomeBrew scene.
Original GX basecode - winterMute (conversion), NeHe (original) - a simple example goes a long way.
Sound Engine - Francisco Muñoz 'Hermes'.
Mini-XML (load and save .xml config files) - beardface (port), Matthew Sweet (original).
WiiBrew/GBAtemp/WiiNewz forums - nice places.
Dolphin [Wii] emulator (made testing a lot easier!) - Dolphin team.
Wasp_Box - original idea.
You - my audience.
