BMRbrnSNRbrd · 07/21/2009, 02:24 PM

Man I'm new to Precentral and am a bit overwhelmed! I'm worried I will be up all night loading all of the homebrews...can't wait to play checkers!

Webby_s · 07/21/2009, 02:40 PM

Hope the OP doesn't mind if I post some screencaps since some are asking!

And

kesne · 07/21/2009, 02:51 PM

Haha, looks like you beat me to it! I posted screencaps of the latest version which fixes a name consistency issue (I used PreTac as the core, forgot to change the name on the game screen) but I fixed it.

Webby_s · 07/21/2009, 02:59 PM

Funny I just notice that .... since you told me, Didn't notice it before.

kesne · 07/21/2009, 03:02 PM

Most people don't look at that bar though. I'm lucky that I found it. Haha.

Bigchris · 07/21/2009, 03:14 PM

Anyone else unable to install this? I'm trying to install it through the SDK method and it looks like it installs but the icon isn't showing up. Any suggestions?

kesne · 07/21/2009, 04:17 PM

I'm not sure. Try other apps to see if your doing it wrong.
