I've had issues with homebrew games not saving for a while now and I could never figure out why. They used to save just fine. This started nearly a year ago so I don't remember what I could have possibly done to screw it up. Recently I backed up all of the my commercial DS games and they save just fine. So, I think I finally figure it out. The games that create seperate .sav files work. The games that save internally into the .nds file do not work.

My flashcart is a crappy R4i Platinum. This problem exists both on my DSi and DS Lite. My DSi firmware version is v1.4.3U. My flashcart is running wood akmenu 1.25.

Has anyone ever heard of this problem/have a solution?

    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    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:

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

    Carrying a PC or phone is so old school!
  • 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.
