Hacking Petit Computer coming to eShop

[PerryDigital]

PMSL at that dude just declaring it's definitely possible to change Snes ROMS into QR codes.

Anyway, has anybody heard anything about it coming to the UK eShop? I'm getting a bit sad watching everyone else having fun with this!

I haven't heard any news, but one of my friends is upset that it hasn't come out for Europe/UK yet. He's in Scotland I think.

Hopefully it's not like the wait from Japan to the US and the big delay was translation.

You really never know with Nintendo though if they might even just not decide to give it to one region. I don't know why like! Perhaps they don't want too much of my money?

Yeah it always sort of confused me when they refuse to release certain things that are digital downloads in places. Not because maybe it's too violent or something but just because they assume it just won't work out. Or hell they just don't give any effin' reason at all.

Suddenly reminded of Phantasy Start 0 for the DS, Had to wait an ENTIRE YEAR for my friends in the UK to play and by then I beat it so it was like 'Oh... yay? I'm bored of it now sorry.'

>Go to eShop.
>Click on the search bar.
>Type in 'Petit'.

If you can't find it and there's a search option, use that before asking. They tell you that on internet forums, so it should also apply elsewhere, too.

The PC tools are nice, but until they clean out the numerous bugs that plague it, I think it might be best to stick with programming/editing 'ala touchscreen. I have lost so much data using the PC tools because it kept crashing.

It is unfortunate about some of the inconveniences that Petit Computer has. The main one for me is how when you LOAD or SAVE, that reading/writing audio plays. IT isn't such a problem with SAVEing imo, but with LOADing......There is an option to prevent the dialog box when LOADing, but no such option to not play the audio. What is the point of making CHR, COL, etc assets with CHRED, SCRED, etc if the only way to prevent this blasted audio from playing is to have everything in DATA form within the PRG itself so that there is no loading?

is there going to be like a petit computer 2? as in a Petit computer 3DS?

i have a question too can you port old computer game after changing like key mapping and stuff i was just wondering before i buy it

Er, you sort of can?

Like, the BASIC for Petit Computer is kind of messed up compared to different versions of BASIC. You'd need to go through and fix the stuff that doesn't have I guess I would call it equivalent in the DSi/3DS version of BASIC.

Not to mention if there's sound or graphics you'll need to make them yourself in petit.

Honestly if you don't know BASIC I suggest learning it instead of struggling to convert games over.

That depends on the game... but don't expect anything remotely modern, since this is BASIC with graphical output.

Wait, petit computer plays its own sounds within your program? Am i understanding you correctly?

Cant you just turn down your volume?

The "beep" itself is a sound effect, and volume for sound effects are set when you call the command BEEP to play a sound. Since that particular sound is being called from the system itself, I have no control over its volume, as there is no global sound effect volume control, nor the ability to check which sound channel it is using.

Anyways, I did find out how to disable it, via SYSBEEP, which controls the entire sound effect system with either ON (TRUE) or OFF (FALSE). Not sure if it also messes with BGM, but it would be nice if it didn't, so music could still play while "loading" stuff.

well at least it seems you can disable it. let me know if it affects other sounds!

Does anyone know if there is a European version coming out?
