Is it even possible? If it is can someone tell me what program I can use because my friend has a backup of a few games I want to make one.

Just use any burning software that you find fancy and can copy a dvd. Backups just don't need any special software like original wii games to be read out.

I was under understanding that though you are using a DVDr, that you would still need a specific drive to even read the disc?

I'm at work, so I can't obviously prove the previous statement one way or another...

I'd be curious to because I would like to clear up some hard drive space pretty soon here, so it would be nice to make backups of backups if necessary.

No you don't need a special drive to make a backup of a backup. Nor do you need some special software apart from your desired burning software. You can burn them on the fly. Did this with ca. 5 Backups some weeks ago. Worked like a charm. Used imgburn for it.

    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

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

    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)
