I heard if you try to upgrade your system it will brick the wii, thats why they make a wiiblocker to rip out the update from the game, is that true? Can you update your system after modding your system?

You can upgrade the system so long as its the same region. For example, if you're from the PAL region, don't upgrade from an NTSC game because that WILL brick your Wii. If you're upgrading from the same region then it's no problem.

You do realise that the recent 360 dashboard update had nothing to do with people getting banned from LIVE.

People have been banned that did not download the update, the most likely reason at this stage was because people were playing backups without all the security sectors intact. i.e. The discs weren't fully steath patched.

It's just a matter of time before Microsoft bans those people running the iXtreme firmware and stealth patched games. Just like before with all the other firmware updates, Microsoft waited for people to think it was safe to upgrade their firmware and play online, then when there were enough a lot of people in that pool, they just did a mass banning.

They wouldn't just go about by banning one at a time because then people wouldn't have continued using the firmware update (at least most wouldn't). Now with the iXtreme i bet the same thing will happen in a couple of months. Microsoft will wait until a lot of people are using it then do a mass banning again.

It's only a matter of time until the only people on LIVE are those with legit firmware and original games.

    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
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @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.
