Greetings!

I haven't messed around with CFW on my Switch in a while, so I was wondering what the proper way would be to go about the following:
1. Creating an exFAT partition for use with Atmosphere and other switch files.
2. Creating a FAT32 partition for creating an emuNAND.
3. Creating a FAT32 partition for use with Lakka/RetroArch as a dual-boot.

Thus far, I have used Minitool to create:
A ~90GB exFAT partition for Atmosphere, etc;
A ~30GB FAT32 partition for emuNAND;
A ~5GB FAT32 partition for use with Lakka/RetroArch

I am uncertain if this is how you are supposed to accomplish this, so anything that would help point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Should have just made them all FAT32.

    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?

    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)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
