This is an official port of the OpenBOR (aka Beats of Rage) beat em up game engine to the Wii by SX and Plombo.
Instructions
- Download the latest Wii release from the Latest Snapshots box at LavaLit.com, from the Homebrew Browser, or from the download link in the information box. (Hassle-free registration is required to download from LavaLit.) If you're not using the Homebrew Browser, extract the OpenBOR or WII/OpenBOR folder in the archive to the apps folder on your SD card, so that the executable and the folders that go with it are under sd:/apps/OpenBOR.
- Download mods from LavaLit and put the .PAK files in the Paks folder. Some of the most popular mods are:
- Beats of Rage (the original game) by Senile Team
- Art of Fighting: Beats of Rage Remix III by Mr. Q®

- Launch OpenBOR from the Homebrew Channel, select a mod, and play!

Version History
- v3.0.2603: First stable Wii release by SX.
- v3.0.2615: Sound and control fixes by SX.
- v3.0.2645: Numerous control fixes by Plombo, who at this point had become the maintainer of the Wii port.
- v3.0.2726: Improved memory usage; implemented by SX for all platforms, including Wii.
- v3.0.2818: Several important changes by Plombo:
- Widescreen (480x272) mods supported.
- Widescreen (16:9) displays supported.
- No aspect ratio distortion with any mod regardless of display. Horizontal/vertical black bars are used when needed.
- Can now be run from a USB flash drive or FAT32-formatted USB hard drive.
- OpenBOR no longer depends on SDL Wii. All I/O handling is done natively through libogc.
- Performance boost due to using GX directly for video instead of going through SDL.

Known Issues
- You might need to set "Window Offset" in the Video Options menu to see the HUD for some mods on some TVs.
- Pressing Up on the Classic Controller D-pad in the mod selection menu does nothing. It works fine in-game, and the analog stick works fine both in the menu and in-game.
