if you could provide some picture of your installation, that might give people some idea what causes it.

I know it sounds dumb but make sure you plugged in the wires back to the drive. I've had it happen to me and I've done plenty of consoles. Tripple check your plugs and wires.

Gambia, The
sorry to double, but please, anybody?

Hmmm, the only idea I'd have is to check whether the drive's installed back properly and not tilted and blocked due to chosing a bad place for the chip. I was even wondering when installing my Chiiip whether there's enough space for the cables and if they wouldn't press against the drive. And your cables don't block some mechanical parts of the drive? That's what I'd double check, and that's about all I can think of (in case your soldering didn't screw something up, but you already said you checked that).

Does it still play originals??? If so, you wii is not screwed... you just screwed up on the install. If not, return the puppy and hopefully you can find a new one in the near future!

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    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)

    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.
