Re: how do you read a few pixels from an image.. - 12 years ago
I'd imagine using both GRRLIB and SDL would be a very complex thing to do, and also quite pointless. I *think* you are getting this error; "multiple definition of `xfb'" because you are using both of them and both try to connect with libogcs framebuffer. I also *think* you are getting this error; "undefined reference to `SDL_main'" and the other two below it because you are not linby profetylen - Coding

SDL is a widely used media library so there are tons of tutorials out there. Also, SDL is for PC which might be more convenient when you want experiment a bit with it.

Re: Adding Achievements - 12 years ago
@owen: Oh! I didn't realize you had a constant amount of statistics! So, I guess the way you do it is just fine! Glad to hear suggestions are welcome, and when I saw those #defines, I'm gonna give you another one. Why don't you use a struct instead? I guess that would be a tad more manageable and clean than an array (not that an array is particularly unclean or unmanageable,by profetylen - Coding
Re: Adding Achievements - 12 years ago
QuoteowenThanx. I figured it out eventually. I created a big array of int[]. Then I created another array with the relationships between the int[]s. Then I create functions add(), reset(), check(). Whenever an add()/reset() event happens on a value I use the relationships to do a cascading update on the other values. Works like a dream. With no drop in frames.

Re: new gcn/wii action replay questions - 12 years ago
QuoteSifJarI'm not sure if there is anyway to use cheat codes on GC games with homebrew. I haven't looked into it as I don't own any GC games. I do vaguely remember hearing about some homebrew capable of doing that, but I may be mistaken. I think Swiss can do that: I'm not entirely sure though, and I don't know what state it is in.by profetylen - Offtopic
Re: having problem getting 2nd controller to work - 12 years ago
You need to sync the wiimotes. Use the red sync buttons next to the Wii's SD slot and next to the wiimote battery. Do this in the system menu. Refer to the Wii user manual or google it if you don't know how to do it.by profetylen - Homebrew General

Re: how to increase wiimote's discoverable mode's period? - 12 years ago
Hmm... Are you sure it is encoded as a string? It could be encoded directly as a byte or word. In that case you should look for 14 or maybe 0014 or 00000014 depending on the datatype used. There were a few occurrences of 14 in those files, but only one occurrence of 0014 (at 1B3C). You could try messing around with any of those.

Re: PAID WORK! The Prophecy (Castlevania Clone) needs a new coder! - 13 years ago
@owen: Which question? "Paid work?" or "What is your age?" and in what way was it silly? Also, if Yoghurt finds a programmer outside of the community, there should be required only very little or no time for him to get accustomed to devkitpro since (IIRC) The Prophecy is written in SDL (which a lot of graphic designers (and programmers in general) know inside out). That said, said person coby profetylen - Homebrew Applications
Re: PAID WORK! The Prophecy (Castlevania Clone) needs a new coder! - 13 years ago
Paid work? I figure if you want to finish this game so badly, why don't you learn programming? You seem to be a good game designer and if you could be an equally good programmer, you could start finalizing this game yourself (after a couple of months/weeks of practice). And in addition, you seem to be in an optimal position to start learning now, considering you have a half done, well writteby profetylen - Homebrew Applications
Re: Buying wii from the US - 13 years ago

Re: FCE Ultra GX v3.2.3 saving game - 14 years ago
There might be a lock-switch on your SD card which you may have switched to 'lock', meaning your Wii cannot write to your SD card and therefore cannot save anything to it. Check that switch and switch it away from 'lock' if it's set to 'lock'.by profetylen - Homebrew Applications

Re: Use the wii for a science fair project? - 14 years ago
@Axel: Yeah, you're probably right. However, while eating my nightly sandwiches before bed, I started thinking and realized that the latter method I described contained a flaw; Acceleration is not instantaneous, only close to instantaneous... and if it was instantaneous, then it would also be infinite (since t, as is now described in my previous post, would equal 0.)

Re: Use the wii for a science fair project? - 14 years ago
BTW, there's a much simpler (as it doesn't require any wiimotes (which also makes it less fun, but since it requires more calculation it is also more fun)) way of measuring force if you have a sandbag of known mass. You could kick/punch it and then observe the height difference from its starting position (with eyes, a camera or an attached wiimote). Then you could calculate the energy oby profetylen - Homebrew General
Re: Use the wii for a science fair project? - 14 years ago
Doesn't the accelerometers measure... acceleration??? If that's true (which it is), you could go with the sandbag idea. That is, attach the wiimote to a sandbag with known mass, then kick/punch it, then obtain its acceleration from the wiimote and then calculate the force with this simpole formula: F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass of the sandbag plus the wiimote and a is theby profetylen - Homebrew General
