I recently acquired a large hard drive for the wii. Will the "Install Game" option of USB Loader GX work for previous DVD-R game backups? If so, will they be the scrubbed versions?

If that doesn't work, what is my best option? I know WBFS Manager does a great job with the hard drive management and scrubbing, but does that mean I have to dump the whole game?

Thanks!

There are WBFS managers that will do a direct DVD BACKUP->WBFS operation. That's your best bet and certainly much faster than using the Wii. But if I was just getting started with a new drive I'd give the CFG USB Loader thread a look and think about using FAT32 instead of WBFS.

    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:

  • NinStar @ NinStar:

    @BigOnYa, How do I make enemies respawn on gdevelop after
    the player dies?

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty you can use a "spawner" function on any object.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
