I have a switch that my friend gave me to attempt to fix, been sitting on it for over a year on it and though I'd try again
It got washed in the washer, in it's current state, it turns on fine, gets to the Nintendo logo then nothing after that.
It is a unpatched unit and I can get it in RCM mode, sending any payload just sends part of the payload then locks up.

If anyone has any ideas, or any chips that should maybe be replaced that would be amazing.

Clean it with ultra sonic cleaner + ipa (alchohol) 70+ will do or really will with a toothbrush and ipa. Dry it up with an air compressor or compressed air can. Check for shorts around M9T236 ic.

    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?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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.
