I'm using configurable USB loader ver 59. I've been trying to figure out how you can get back to the loader menu without having to reboot the wii. Isn't there a button combination or something you can press that will instantly bring you back to the game select menu (instead of having to reboot and load the program allover again). ? Something like how an emulator will let you hit a combination of buttons to bring you back to the rom select menu ?

If anybody knows what the default button or buttons is that you can press inside the game to bring you back to the configurable usb loader (without resetting the Wii) I'd be very grateful!

No there isn't. This is a limitation of how the software works. This isn't like the emulator where the entire program is self contained. The loader basically just takes control of a sort aspect of the Wii (in this case, redirecting read commands from the DVD drive, to the USB drive via a custom IOS).

The only way to do that would be to make a custom IOS capable of patching individual games as they load to be aimed back at the specific USB loader that launched them. While not impossible for someone to program, it's not currently an option and would probably be a bitch to code...

Best solution: Tame your ADD a bit so you don't feel the need to constantly jump between various games

add a return_to_channel option in your config.txt, point it to the title id of your forwarder.

    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

  • NinStar @ NinStar:

    @BigOnYa, How do I make enemies respawn on gdevelop after
    the player dies?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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.
