YJ NS1 is Joomla 1.0 and Joomla 1.5 native module that will allow you to scroll, scrollfade or fade in your existing  Joomla news items. Yes existing ones. This means that you do not need any additional components or modules anymore and you do not  have to modify your existing news items either.

Hardest thing you would need to do is pick the news items category and publish the module.
