I've been a lurker on these forums for a while and the incredible amount of information available has meant that it's never been necesary for me to post. There was once a time when I felt like I understood all the flashcarts and DS models but I'm a bit overwhelmed now by the options and need some advice. My situation:

I have a DS Lite on which I use a CycloDS Evolution and a DSi XL on which I use an acekard 2i. I've never updated the DSi XL's firmware out of fear, even though I understand that there are almost instantaneous fixes. Now I am interested in using one of my two DS systems for internet connection (i am embarrased to admit that it's related to pokemon black...) and before updating my DSi I have a quick question to which I have not been able to find a direct answer to on the forums thus far. As the DS lite doesn't have firmware updates over the WiFi, there would be no changes which would prevent use of my CycloDS later, correct?

Thanks for all the information in the past; I suppose this matter can be resolved with a quick yes or no.

To my knowledge, there is nothing that Nintendo can do to avoid you using the CycloDS on your DS Lite, wifi or not. Any firmware updates would have come with the DS itself, and none of them block the CycloDS. You can safely use wifi on it for both official cartridges and ROMs (as long as your router is running on WEP which is the only security form the DS/DSLite supports). As for the DSi, I will leave it to more knowledgeable hands to answer that one.

    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

    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.
