Alright I installed my D2CKey with wires and played Super Smash Bros. Brawl for a day and then all of a sudden I couldn't insert a disc in the Wii anymore.. it just wouldn't suck it in. This happened twice, I had to take off the modchip and reput it back on to fix this problem. This problem is getting pretty annoying so I'm posting this to ask what's the best way to install the D2CKey and not get anymore errors? And what's causing the D2CKey modchip to do this?

Use the flexpcb and tape the chip down. Also use the ground/vcc points as in the installation picture of d2ckey.com

wire install is just not stable enough, since i use flexpcb i've never had problems anymore.

Thanks, I'm going to try installing with the FlexPCB thing. But does anyone know what's causing this problem? Is it because the way I use my modchip or is it the installation?

    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:
    yes, now I remember it
  • 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:
    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.
