Is there some sort of mod or hack that could be used through the HBC to keep the wii light on whilst playing games? It was a feature which I always thought the wii lacked for some reason.

I know you can send an e-mail to yourself but it would be easier if there was some sort of program that could be used through the HBC.

If not i'll look into creating one xP

Solder and a couple of leads. Done!

I found a way to keep the light on with a small mod involving copper wire but I was kinda hoping there would be a software alternative

You could surely do a Priiloader hack with a Gecko and some talent. There's probably a hardware register set to it, flip it and done. Check the code for one of the apps that flashes the lite (MMM comes to mind first) and make a patch to set it. This would be cool if you had one of those DriveGate lites.

I'd like to see a patch applied to each IOS that flashed the version number in binary on init, so you'd know on an IOS reload what version you were running without any debug h/w.

I've always wanted that too... the shiny blue slot! Nintendo Revolution they said!

I loved the DC and GC power lights... for some reason the blue and green PS2 LEDs always facinated me too.

Funny, I've always wanted to do the exact opposite and turn the damn thing off, permanently.

Cut the wire.

    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

    @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)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    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. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
