I am thinking that would most likely work because of them being on the friends list when making a emunand.
Great. Hopefully they fix up the friend list soon.
Can you link me to a guide on installing RxTools? I have an o3DS, unhacked, I think on version 9.2 (the last time I updated my 3DS was to download the free Sonic Boom theme from the theme store). I don't want to follow the wrong guide or anything, worried of screwing something up :S

This is the most comprehensive guide available at the moment. https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/

You'll have to format the SD Card to create an emuNAND partition with Gateway's launcher. You should backup your SD Card before you do this.
I have to format my SD card? Why did the guy in the video guide format his 3DS? I don't want to lose any of my data on my 3DS :S

When you use Gateway's launcher, you'll have to backup NAND, copy that to a safe place on your PC along with all the files on your SD Card, and then Format emuNAND, which will delete everything on the SD Card.

Just to be sure, I don't format my 3DS, losing my NNID, friend list, activity log records, etc., right? I just format my SD on the computer?

2 things reguarding CFW, 1 is the friends list freezes on you when you enter it so you can not add anyone to your friends list, and 2 is out of region dlc will not work without a addon called ntr cfw.
not sure which cfw you are using, but friends list always works fine for me on rxtools

What's so bad about installing .cia's? If anything I would rather have my games appear as separate items on my home menu, since it would make my library seem more "legit".
installing isnt the issue, deinstalling is. Its an major pain in the ### do so since you only will see random numbers and have to guess which is the right one.

Since cfw there really isn't one.
However if you are over 9.2 there is a reason to get one, and since a majority of users have updated due to there being no reason not upgrading (scene was sorta' new and not so accessible) then you will have a need.
My Sky3DS works just fine.

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    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:
    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)

  • 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.
