I just tried 2 aftermarket (Chinese) touch panels and calibrated them in hekate, and they both work flawlessly! This is great news!

Drat. I have a SX OS switch and i'm stuck at the load screen (assuming it's touch only) and can't click anything nor with the joy cons.. I have an aftermarket LCD screen and an actual OEM touchscreen digitizer (replacement-- which may me bad since it arrived with the cable a bit mangled). Not sure of my next approach. Thoughts?

Can you setup hekate on your SD card and start it up so that you can access the touch calibration?

Does Hekate work with chipped (V1 Patched) SX OS now? I have 3 menu screens (I never actually activated the license for SX OS and the touch screen can't touch any of the menus)

Also, could a drop potentially ruin the game card reader?
(I received this as a broken V1 unpatched Switch-- LCD was clearly spider webbed and only whited out on the screen.. so I swapped just the unpatched mobo to another fully working Switch). Now trying to fix this switch.. I've replaced the digitizer 2x.. One aftermarket touch screen and only a few corners worked.. and now with an actual OEM digitizer from V2 and can't click the 3 middle menus (but stuck in SX OS land so I can't click in the middle).

I just kinda spam touch the payloads, hekate, launch until it works.

Lol. Wish I could even get past that on the sx os menu.. I just opened another thread cause using that gamecard on my other working switch, seems to have dysfunctioned that one now.... getting a 2162-0002 message and also no touch screen capability.. and the original game card for that working switch was working previous to trying it in the broken switch to see if it was truly the screen.
I tried getting into hekate on the unpatched switch I have (which screen no longer works).. and do the screen calibrate-- says fail every time.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    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.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
