Yeah, go into Settings to Data Management and copy them to your USB stick.

If you want them in a raw format to use with Loadiine you can use Saviine by Maschell.

That is not a good backup plan. That's like backing up your files from your C partition into the D: partition on the same drive.

How so? Internal storage and USB are not on the same drive. Could you not copy all saves to USB, do a factory reset on the Wii U, and copy them back to internal storage, and have them work the same? I think the only difference is being linked to the user profile, which is why I mentioned Saviine.

Anything saved to an external drive by the Wii U is like what's saved to the 3DS' SD card. It only works with the system it was saved from, and a reformatted system counts as a completely different system. So backing up to SD without Saviine is useless if your console is reformatted/lost/stolen/broken. Saviine is the best way for now.

Yea, exactly what Ailuros said. Backups should protect again all scenarios, especially worst case scenarios. What happens when someone steals your Wii U? They are probably going to steal your USB drive too. Even if they don't, your drive won't work with another Wii U.

I hope you don't backup your computer like that. What happens if your house burns down or something? Is everything important in the cloud?

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
