I was trying to replace my vita screen and accidentally stripped a screw... What do?
BTW will put pictures tomorrow... It's 2:04 am for me...


(BONUS QUESTION: so I broke my vita screen... But I have a spare broken vita with a working screen! Should I just get the broken screen Mobo and put it in the normal screen vita?)

Use a rubber band while unscrewing it and apply slow, hard force.

I had this issue when I was trying to replace my Switch backplate with a clear Translucent. And by George it was only 1 screw giving me hell out of like 20. 2 things bad happen
1.Had to break off the original backplate "RIP"
2. My right Joycon ribbon detached from the rail that charges it "RIP"
Good news is I was able to get the stripped screw out using a pair of scissors just gotta have a firm grip and twist out by force
also repaired my joycon cable by replacing it with another 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
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma

    @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.
