Only problem is you'll need a modded PS2 to make one. Ask around, there will be people around who has a PS2 or even an FMCB they don't mind making for you.

The main reason is the Wii has an SD card slot, while the PS2 doesn't.

Isn't the main reason software/OS based?

I'm not talking about the difficulty to create an exploit for hacking, I'm talking about the hacking process itself. With a Wii you can use an SD card, which is something most everybody has. With a PS2 (and other old systems) you have to get something like a modchip to load custom software with.

Dreamcast could boot CDR games with a CDR boot disk -- because of an explot in the OS.

Yes, but that is a very rare thing. Besides, I'm talking about the PS2, which can't. The Wii has 3 exploits that only require an SD card. That's not an option for the PS2 since it doesn't support SD cards.

PS2 is not hard to hack by any means. Its just that the wii is easier.

  • 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:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    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
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    i just didint know the homebrew launcher didint exist in aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:

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

  • 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.

    @BigOnYa, thx in advance
