    Mario Kart 7 gets vague new update patch more than a decade after its release

    It would be funny if what it actually does is hide in your spotpass and seeks out exploited software.

    Grit & Makefiles

    So this time I wanted to cut down the stuff I have put into a bat file and automate it in a makefile, but I am still trying to get my head around the syntax of a makefile. basicly I have a bundle of image files in a directory and accompanying them I have .grit files that grit should read the...

    Hardware Misc GBA Homebrew game Can DevkitPro be installed to a pi 4?

    turns out two things were stopping me, 1. if you use the pacman available in the apt store the instructions work with dkp-pacman. 2. I tried to install it with a slow connection the first time round, it resulted with a broken installation, which in turn can't be fixed due to pacman complaining...

    Yuji Naka, other Square Enix employees arrested for insider trading

    I don't get why this is a law to begin with if i'm honest. if it's before the fact instead of after the fact it's still just making an estimate.

    Homebrew Nintendo Badge Arcade homebrew in 2022

    personally I would like a mod that changes the balance to your playcoin balance so it's still something you have to work for.

    Nintendo issues DMCA takedowns for specific Switch games to art library sharing site SteamGridDB

    To be fair with this, it makes it less likely to use steam deck as an emulation machine, cosmetics can do quite a lot, a lot of people are using the steam deck as a switch emulator right now.

    Hardware Misc GBA Homebrew game Can DevkitPro be installed to a pi 4?

    Alright, after giving myself enough time to have more understanding of the linux file strucurer, pretty sure I know what the problem is, pacman isn't installing the libraries to /opt/devkitPro however I haven't a clue where it is going. this is the error it returns: Makefile:9...

    Hardware Misc GBA Homebrew game Can DevkitPro be installed to a pi 4?

    Bare in mind I don't know a lot about linux, I tried following the instructions from devkitpro itself and instructions from here but neither seemed to work for me.

    Homebrew Maker Code Init- Programming

    So I was wondering, is there any programs that devkitpro comes with that automaticly sets the maker code and save type in the rom while compiling, it's just annoying having to hex edit my rom each time is all. What I mean by maker code btw is like how Pokemon Emerald has the maker code: BPEE...

    How do I start GBA development?

    I'm mostly just a newb but cross referencing Devkitpro's files and this handy tutorial here really helped me get started. music can sometimes be a bit buggy to set up so I reorganised the maxmod libraries a little to better suit my workflow, the easiest way to make music files is with an app...

    Weird Banjo Grunty's Revenge bug.

    For whatever reason if you save the game then get a game over and quit the game the game forgets to load the SRAM, leading to it showing all your files as empty. Mind you this could be an oversight on Rare's part, I lost my original cartridge years ago so I can't test it unless I boot up my pc...

    Gaming Does GBA games have Anti Piracy?

    The lines also appear when it doesn't load into a bios, atleast that's the result of vba, but even then the game Sonic Advance 1 seems to be clever since it never saves if you get all 7 chaos emeralds, it also doesn't let you complete the game with all characters, 2 things required in order to...

    Hacking EZ Flash Omega

    I would like to point out a flaw in the regular omega cart, in Sonic Advance if you let the game idle on pause for a while the game will crash, similarly in Pokemon Ruby there is a chance while saving that the game will freeze leading to a corrupted sd card, so far these are the only two games I...

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.
