So sometime this summer my Wii's hard drive started becoming much less responsive. Unlike before, when CoverFloader would boot up snappily in a few seconds, it now always seems to hang on "Initializing Disc". Nowadays, it takes a few minutes to start, if it does at all. I haven't bothered with it, but now, with NSMBW coming out, I've got a reason to fix this. It's definitely a hard drive problem, my little LaCie 500gb little disc has been preforming excellently up until now, it's not a cios problem or anything, just one day it started having problems. I've got three partitions on it, a 100gb WBFS, 20GB FAT, and the rest is NTFS. Any suggestions? It looks like I'm gonna have to back up the entire thing and delete this WBFS partition and start from scratch, otherwise I'll need to find a new hard drive

    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
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • 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:
    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.
