Hey bluelaserman, I linked your mini-guide to my guide in the faq section. Even though it's running ysmenu as secondary firmware, at least M&L:BIS works.

Go through the guide and make a YSmenu, put it onto your micro sd card, and try it out?

I did but it doesn't work...
the problem with the r4 ultra is that it's not r4 compatible and is not fully akecard comptaible so it leaves us no choice yet but to ait for a firmware upgrade from r4ultra.com which won't come anytime soon I presume. I just need to know if someone was actually able to run ysmenu on a r4 ultra and how!! every solution I read led me to a ysmenu with a dldi unsupported screen or with a green loading frozen screen... I just don't want to buy another card and then find out after that there was a solution.. Also I'm not sure but maybe that card is still supported by it's team.. maybe!!!

WOW! VERY NICE! But at Step 11 : "11. Open the english folder and take everything out of there, and put it in the YSMenu folder. Then delete the eng folder."
There is no english folder in the YSMenu folder?! oO

Read step 8.

To avoid confusion, might I suggest in step 9 to say, "extract the contents to the YSMenu folder".

Are you sure your R4 is real. Whats the box / flashcard say its called?
In your Micro-SD card, does it have files:
_system_ (Folder)
moonshl (Folder)
_DS_MENU (.dat file)
_DS_MENU (.sys file)
_DS_MSHL.NDS (.nds file)

If you have any other files in your card, please state them

Also, make sure you KNOW if your r4 is real or fake. I had one instance where a friend of mine thought he had a clone and followed the steps for clones but his was real.

don't have any moonshell things and no _DS_MENU(.sys file) and the flashcard says R4 Revolution for DS (NDSL/NDS)

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming

    But it's a dead end

    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it.
