TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: Not connecting to PC(s)

« on: October 28, 2024, 11:22:37 PM »

Hello,

boxing random

I  have a brand new TinyTV but sadly I cannot find the device on either of my PCs. The charging light comes on when I plug in the USB, but it’s sadly not discoverable in Explorer or Device Manager.

USB cable is also brand new so I doubt that’s the issue… any ideas?!

Hello,
You can check your device manager by opening Device Manager and looking for any entries that might indicate an unknown or faulty device (usually marked with a yellow triangle). If you find one, right-click on the device and select “Update Driver” or “Uninstall Device,” then reconnect your TinyTV to see if it installs correctly.

Thumby / Re: Game runs in Emulator, but won't on Thumby.

Issue:

planet clicker

I have a game I'm working on - /Games/NovaNaut/NovaNaut.py that will run in Emulator and Fast Execute, but not on the Thumby.

At some point of development, it was working on the thumby, but as it got more advanced, I noticed it stopped. 

What I have tried:
-Formatting
-Updating
-Clearing Browser Cache
-Resetting IDE
-Different Names
-Adding my code to an already working game on the thumby to see if crashes there etc.

I think:
It has to do with some of the coding.  Maybe some of the python isn't compatible and causes it to crash.

Would like some feedback, I do see someone else had similar issue but mine didn't resolve. I have two games this started to happen to.

Thumby has limited resources compared to emulators. Check if you are using large images, sounds, or complex algorithms that may take up too much memory. If your game includes images or sound files, try optimizing them for size and performance.
