Hacking Any chance we might see a homebrew media center in the near future?

It would probably have to be a REALLY simple design unless you can shine the kernel exploit over it (so we can have SD card access, maybe a GX2 GUI so it's easier to get around). A non-kernel version of the app will probably be stuck with the lame console GUI (just text-based interface) and you'll no doubt have to just load media over the network...

So in my opinion, it will probably happen some day, but not anytime soon due to the above facts.

A media center with only text that can only load from sd would be useless for 5.5; that's basically worse than what nintendo's browser does. Also it would be very slow and I'm not even sure if it's possible to play a video without gx2 (using setpixel with a 1080p video with a loop that repeats 2073600 would take like 1 minute just for the first frame -_- ). But hopefully an exploit for 5.5 will come sometime, giving full gx2 and sd access. The better thing would be an IOSU exploit so we could access usb, sd and maybe even the bluray player

    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.

    I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
