Can someone please give me a step by step guide on how to download this. Because I got the homebrew channel up and running, that was a pain til I read xzxero tutorial. It was perfect. But now all I want it is to play Wii games and I can't even get WiiFlow to work. So if someone can be very descriptive on a guide to get this work, please let me know. I have read tons of guides on how to get this crap to work and nothing has helped. Sometimes I get nothing, sometimes all it does it load, and once or twice I try to download it and i get error ret = -1029. So if anyone can help me that would be great because I wasted a day of my life on this crap and not one dam tutorial is descriptive enough for me to get this to work which I think is ridiculous because tutorials are actually supposed to be helpful not skip 20 steps in between.

Just place the Wiiflow files on your SD card.
Make sure you have the needed cios installed.
Please use modmii for all your hacking needs. It's easy, simple and VERY safe.

modmii is indeed the cleanest solution...it not only gives you everything you need and tells you where to put it, it also has some description on the WHY of what it is doing. And that is a bit missing in your post, so I'm afraid I can't really give you an honest answer. Have you read through these pages on how to install wiiflow? Is there anything you don't really understand on those pages or may have skipped? Pretty much all guides skip things or consider them 'already known', as you need to know basics of hacking a wii before getting something to run (e.g.: a guide on how to drive a car won't have things like "how to open a car door" or "how to operate a seat-belt", as you really shouldn't drive if you don't know how to do these things).

Ok, somehow, I got rid of eveyrthing and started over again and I got it to work somehow. Makes no sense but whatever. But now I don't know if it is the game, but the game is black and white. How do I fix that? or do I have to find another one?

sounds like your trying to play a game from a different region than your wii....try setting video mode for that game to 'force [your region]' or 'patch auto' ...TBH, i have little experience with this though; i make sure all games i get are from my region....

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

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

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    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
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @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)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    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.
