I have a PAL Wii and a JPN Wii. Can I use the power adapter from my PAL Wii on my JPN one?

Any info?

Thanks.

as long that the output is 12volts 3.7A your all good.

i use the same power adapter on all of my wii's (US wii and japan wii)

i even used the 12volts of a PC ATX power supply to power my wii, when i blew the power adapter by accidentally plugging a 110v power supply to a 220v wall socket

I set up a PSU to turn on when it is plugged in (ground the green cable with a black on the 20/24 pin connector) then used it to power a hard drive. Every hard drive I used that with burnt out after a while though...

Ummm, no you aren't. Even going by what you just said.
Fair play on the PC PSU game, thats cool, but as for using a JAP power lead on a PAL wii...
If you plug a 110v PSU into a 230v wall socket, its gonna go bang

it think he knew how to choose the right PSU to use with both wiis
using the other one with either wii would be bad so in fact using the same is the best option
but i'd rather use sneek anyway


btw for the PC PSU guy
check that you use a 12V line not a -12V line
they give MUCH less power

    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
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:

    @BigOnYa, How do I make enemies respawn on gdevelop after

  • 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.
