Okay, if anyone here's played the RPG maker 2k3 game, Yume Nikki, you probably know about Uboa. Basically, he appears in a certain room 1 out of 64 times when you turn the lights off, thus scaring the crap out of someone who does it by accident. Well, I had an idea for a homebrew app based on my friend's fear of Uboa. How about an Uboa app that gets launched before the system menu. (Maybe using Priiloader or something.) It does a 0-63 random chance, and if it hits a certain number, when you turn on your Wii, Uboa's face appears, and it plays his scary music. If not, then it launches the system menu without anyone noticing it's there. I was also thinking maybe it could respond to the power/reset buttons by playing "error" sounds, and flashing the screen again. (Like it does ingame when you try to leave, or flip the switch again.) Also, it takes maybe 2 mins to end. Also, since my friend likes to stay up late, maybe make him only appear between 12 am - 6 am. (Evil, I know.) Most likely the person will panic, try to turn off thier Wii by only tapping the buttons, then unplug it or something. I would have started already, but I have 2 questions. One - How do you launch the system menu with the health and safety screen? (As if you just started it.) Two - How do you access and override the actions of the power/reset buttons? Thanks for any feedback. EDIT: LOL, I forgot to check the "No Piracy" box. Made me laugh. EDIT Again: I think I should include a video for those who don't know about Uboa.

It wasn't an app request, I'm a decent coder. (I've even experimented with trying to port Irrlicht to Wii...)
I just wanted feedback. That's all.
I'm not sure if I'll make it video based or sprite based yet.
I might even use Blender for rendering effects!
(Like the background.)]]> Alonguy Ideas, requestsTue, 07 Dec 2010 15:35:47 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62854#msg-62854 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62854#msg-62854 jbc007 Ideas, requestsMon, 06 Dec 2010 23:45:04 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62850#msg-62850 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62850#msg-62850 SifJar Ideas, requestsMon, 06 Dec 2010 22:05:36 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62837#msg-62837 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62837#msg-62837It doesn't happen 'till way after you leave the person's house.
(In my case, after installing homebrew stuff for them.)
You just slip in the .dol to boot instead of the system menu,
and 63 times out of 64, it'll look like absolutely nothing.
Just a normal bootup. Maybe a slight delay, but not very noticeable.
Get what I want to do? It's about scaring someone, making them think their Wii's possesed
or something.]]> Alonguy Ideas, requestsMon, 06 Dec 2010 08:41:04 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62835#msg-62835 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62835#msg-62835 slyfox299 Ideas, requestsMon, 06 Dec 2010 06:47:28 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62834#msg-62834 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,62834,62834#msg-62834you probably know about Uboa.
