I'm on vista home premium right now... it runs fine .... I'm finally getting used to it... if I had my way I'd still be running windows 98 second edition..... is there any advantage to upgrading? should i just wait till this current os becomes obsolete and am forced to upgrade? okay talk amongst yourselves... begin!

From what I have read it would appear to have been a sucessful repair. It does what Vista should have done at a lot less resource consumption.

Still has most of the compatability issues with old hardware as Vista but if you are running Vista fine then 7 will be fine.

Faster than Vista and less intrusive.

okay sounds like it may very well be worth the plunge.... and its a free upgrade for me so I guess I'll give it a go before i get too used to vista and have to switch anyways and learn all over lol thanks for the input

Windows 7 is worth the upgrade. It has WAY better compatibility than Vista. Now I can sync my phone and ti84 plus to my laptop. I used to always have driver problems on Vista. Plus more frames for games is never bad.

Would Windows 7 run smoothly on 512MB of RAM, i know the Specs are 512MB but i don't know if it will be okay.

I want to install it now :3

It´s like a nicer looking Win XP for me not bad but not anything special either and i have a pretty old PC still single core Athlon64 3,2Ghz and "only" 1 GB Ram and it runs fine

It was well worth it for me to upgrade as my vista was full of bugs and 7 runs smoothly.

I'm upgrading next week, from Vista 64bit to 7 64bit.
I'm gonna keep all my data and programs, just going to remove the OS and install a new OS. Hope everything goes well

The last time I did that my partition table killed itself. It was a pain GetDataBack'ing 200GBs of data

Before doing that, I advise a backup, or at least separate partitions

    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

    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select

  • 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.
