Hi,

I created a Gamecube backup with my Wiikey of the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle disc (PAL). Now when I insert it, the Wii properly detects it and tries to boot it - into a black screen. My guess was that the Wiikey boots it into 60 Hz/NTSC mode which isn't supported. So I disabled GC Region Free in the Config disc and tada - the game boots.. just now none of my Japan imports work anymore.

GCOS can boot the backup in PAL mode, the Action Replay (which seems to work again magically with the new Wii update) does not (is it even able to boot backups - I don't know I simply tried) - but the Wii Config disc properly boots on PAL as it should.

Now do I need to apply special burn settings so that it direct boots even with Region Free mode?

Thanks,

Link00y

    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:

    @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.
