Okay, so I know that you can't do a data transfer from 3DS to DSi, but I plan on buying a DSi on Monday and I'd like to put some of the DSiWare on the DSi. Is there a way I can put some DSiWare on my SD card, and then place the SD in my computer, switch some stuff up, and get it running on DSi? Or will I have to buy it again? I would just buy it again and not worry, but my sister is young, and I might give this her, but when she got my old DS Lite, within the first week she washed it "because the buttons were sticky" and broke the charger port.

You'll have to buy it again. You can't simply copy and paste DSiWare from one system to another - Nintendo encrypts them on a per-console basis to prevent piracy.

    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:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma

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

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Squeeze your cheeks twice to answer calls!
  • 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.
