OpenBOR is a royalty free sprite-based side scrolling gaming engine. From humble beginnings in 2004, it has since grown into the most versatile, easy to use, and powerful engine of its type you will find anywhere. OpenBOR is optimized for side scrolling beat em’ up style games (Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Final Fight), but easily accommodates any sort of gameplay style and feature set you can imagine.
For more information, visit the OpenBOR community at ChronoCrash.com, where you'll find plenty of resources, including finished game modules that you can download and play.
Installation
Download the latest Wii release (also available from 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 related folders are under sd:/apps/OpenBOR. (as of build 6385, OpenBOR supports both SD and USB loading, and the Wii-U Pro Controller has been added).
Download mods from ChronoCrash.com and place the .PAK files in the Paks folder.
Launch OpenBOR from the Homebrew Channel, select a mod, and start playing.
