I have seen some individuals say not to install the Health warning and BGM with the Starfall install. Is there a particular reason for that??

Some said, withouth BGM the wii is not that wii-ish.
And that healthscreen can be an advantage if you need to get into maintenance mode some time....

Anyway, no problem if you get rid of both.

the music is annoying after a while, and maintenance mode is bull, cant do anything in it that we know of.

I thought that maintenance mode was used to recover from banner bricks with no drive chip? (maintenance mode -> TP + TP hack -> Wad manager)
Probably less of an issue with WADder but that's why I installed 3.2.

i think you don't need the maintaince mode. instead install the recovery mode with starfall, to get brick save.

if you have a chip installed, you don't need starfall, because autoboot isos work with the most chips. so you put the wadmanger on a autoboot iso to uninstall the wad thats bricked your wii.

    I can't tell fot sure by now as I still need to run the whole game in a row just playing it. I do remember there once was some sky drawing issue when running addon Cryptic Passage. I will get to that problem once I can truly tell that the game runs without crashing / freezing

    @Kirbydogs, Don't ask to ask, just ask somebody what problem that you're currently having. Maybe rephrase your question differently.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    the hell is a formal parameter
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    >Formal parameters serve as variables within the function’s scope and are used to perform operations on the input data.
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    I personally think that the main problem with the game is the size of the HEAP and CACHE area. HEAP was 32MB before before I realized that the original DOS game use 36MB instead before throwing a warning when the DOS machine has less memory available. I turned that now up to ~40MB for the Wii port of the game. The cache area now uses 8MB in size - not 16MB like before. I also think that 8MB of cache are quite good enough. Anything else might cause troubles as we're just running out of memory for the MEM2 region where all the game data resides once the game is running...

    @nitr8, blood looks like it was made in doom's engine
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    then what's going on here I don't get why it's spitting out an error rename(path: String, newName: String): Promise<Boolean> and then the error Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after formal parameters
  • nitr8 @ nitr8:
    BLOOD is written in CPP while DOOM was written in C

    @Xdqwerty, Blood was based on the Ken Silverman engine, same with Duke Nukem 3D.

    @SylverReZ, I should have assumed that too
