Hopefully they don't screw up the resolution like they did with DS mode

GBA games run at a resolution of 240x160, whereas the top screen of the 3DS is at (in non-3D mode) 400x240. Given the ratio of 3DS to GBA with the vertical resolution is at 1.5:1, I would assume that GBA games would be stretched to a resolution of 360x240, meaning without some filtering, every other pixel (both horizontal and vertical) will occupy 2 pixels worth of screen space.

I am baffled by the lack of save states. Because I KNOW I'm not going to be able to play Zelda in one setting lol XD

Then you must not know that not only does it support actual game saving (which can be done on the NES Zelda via switching to 2nd player and using a button combination), but it does have a kind of save state every time you close the program, which gets loaded when you launch the game again.

Don't really like golf games, that is my only compliant. :/

Not a deal breaker (or something like that

), but would be nice to see some of these in 3D.

I tried the combination but I don't get anything with the NES Zelda games. Lately when I do close the program, I lose my save and I have to start the game from the beginning. I'm probably doing something wrong but the manuals in the NES games don't tell me much

When you die, press 'Select' to access the save option and then press 'Start'. It should stay saved even when you reset the game.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @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)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
