Not sure I would trust a $3.82 USB charger, cheap chargers tend to have some very sketchy internals (devoid of most or all safety components, lacking proper separation between AC and DC that could in a worst case scenario short and cause your 3DS and/or charger to catch on fire)

Well I don't blame nintendo for putting out an official one, I had a shitty USB charger cable that had some kind of bizzare problem with the charge; it made the touchscreen fail to properly register touches somehow. After depleting the charge from that cable and recharging with the AC cable, the problem went away. I've heard of others with this issue, seen youtube videos of it etc. And yes, I know there are GOOD USB chargers out there

I've been using a USB charge cable for months, I charge my 3DS whenever I'm watching Netflix on my PS3. I had to order a new cable a few days ago because it developed a loose connection, but it lasted well over a year, not bad for £1.39 on eBay.

Unless the mini-NES is actually charged by a 3DS charger.

It was confirmed a while back that the mini-NES uses microUSB for power... Either this thing is incompatible with the mini-NES, or simply isn't even a 3DS charger. (Or it could include some sort of adapter, but knowing Nintendo, that's pretty unlikely)

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

Sure it is just a standard USB charger and perhaps it comes with one USB to 3DS cable and a USB to microUSB cable.

They're not going to include an AC adapter to plug the USB cable, or are they? I've got plenty of USB-to-AC adapters around but this is no reason for Nintendo to assume everyone has.

I already have a USB charger cord never had an issue. Been using it for 3 years, even on a USB cord extension of 6 feet.
I got it free.

    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

    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:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • 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.
