Well... I could send my DSi to Nintendo because of my defective R button but I just got my M3i zero and my DSi screws up on me (I'm going to loose it :hateit

Is there a good way of fixing it? Because when I blow in it, it does work but for a certain time (like a certain period of gaming then you have to blow again)

This is annoying especially for COD because i'm lefty and the R button is my way to survive in that game lol

I had the same issue with mine!
Mine was broken because R is use to run in football (soccer) games and guess what? I like to run ^^
I fixed it by quitting football and adjusting the shoulders tru pressure sessions in the play with your music menu.

You can just make a seal around the buttons with your lips and blow.

Nah that's like temporary. It works but for like 20 minutes then I have to blow again

Whatever you do; do not take apart your DSi, that is how I f**ked up mine.
I got a new one via swap-out at Wal*mart. I said that I lost the receipt and I just got it last month and it stopped working. They swapped it, buncha dumb f**ks at my local Wal*Mart.

A touch CRC lubricant in the button they tend to get dust in them be patienbt withit ,it takes a bit for it to pentrate the button and it wont hurt any snsitive parts ok

By the way i mentioned in other post but here but I already open my DSi and tried to fix it (sorta failed at it)

My DSi is fine (i screwed around with the bottom screen voltage but i fixed that already) I dunno how DJ91990 screwed his up (maybe he let out a huge blob of saliva by accident XD)

    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

    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select

    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 @ 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.
