Benzin is an application for the PC that is intended as an open source alternative to Alameda (About A Wii Channel banner creator and simulator). It was created by SquidMan, comex, megazig, and Yossi.

Note: Some antivirus programs might flag Benzin as a virus. This is a false positive.

Features

  • Banner simulation (Started, completely unusable).
  • Banner layout editing and animations.
  • XML <-> BRLYT (Complete).
  • XML <-> BRLAN (Complete).
  • Image <-> TPL (Complete Zetsubou).
  • An API. (Being worked on, see Laichzeit).

Other versions

A simplified version EZ-Benzin was release by CheatFreak47 which be found on the release thread, which allows you to drag and drop the files instead of using command line (please note that some antivirus programs might flag this as a virus).

A newer version is available here (Win/Linux). The Linux version is compiled by the Wiidatabase Team on Xubuntu 18.04 64-bit, to use you may have to make this executable beforehand with "chmod +x benzin".
