Float printing bug in devkitPPC

[yellows8]

I'm trying to display Wiimote IR values, Accelometer, Orient, and GForce values, but all I get is a f where the displayed number should be. I tried %1.3f instead of %f, but still nothing. I tried displaying my own float var, but the exact same result. And when I use sprintf, and then print the string used on screen, I get numbers, but they're all zeroes. Strangely, when printing floats with %.2f to a text file, it seems to work fine...

        //WPAD_ScanPads();
        u32 pressed = WPAD_ButtonsHeld(chan);

iprintf is an integer only function which doesn't recognise floating point variables, it was commonly used on the DS because of the lack of an FPU there. Use printf instead.

My bad. I was using code from the Hello World example for Wii, and it was using iprintf with the VT terminal codes for setting the cursor position, which my code uses, so I copied that.
