big fan of your new video thumbnails!❤️
This was hard to listen to with headphones. You make a lot of unpleasant squishing and smacking noises as you talk.
Is there any chance that’s a South-Eastern Pennsylvania accent?
I remember having good memories with the N Card mini-game. Not so much with the roulette.
Perfect example of open source project (according to big tech company)
clyde is the patrick star of the ghost gang
I am curios abot how the cards in New super mario bros wii works, as it also has patterns
Fun fact: A5 in Hex translates to the symbol “ Yes. The symbol encoded into hex makes A5.
Ngl, this would be hella fun idea for a game where you can destroy the game's code w/ the game
TL:DW: Frightened Ghosts are *_powerbottoms_*
Now, about #22
how do you manage to keep peoples attention without sfx or bgm??? HOW??? YOUR LIKE A SHOW WITH ALL OF THESE AND YOU MANAGE TO NOT HAVE SFX OR BGM! (this isnt a hate comment)
it feels like the programmer waned to make the star power happen in the next level after finishing a level with it. but they didn't use LSR (Logically shift right) instead they used ASL (Arithmetic shift left) by mistake and didn't catch it because the code didn't get run anymore thanks to newer code later on
man, I've always appreciated your production on these videos ... but this takes it to a completely different level. really incredible video
Can you do a video on the superfx chip
Very interesting stuff.
"With the power of a rubber band, some rocks, and the entire decompiled game code, I managed to acquire the entire decompuled code" early 80s software pirate
oh how i love to be a silly chiptune producer and understand this
I have to come back every year or so just to hear your delivery of the command names
Is it just me or the intro sound he always use sounded like the extended 1up sfx
My clock on my tablet turned from 4:50 to 4:51 as soon as I clicked on this video
Wait just realized does BRR standfor( bit rate reduced) samples
What makes a zone turn neutral? A lust for gold? Power?
i enjoyed this but please choose a more legible font for code! i find it needlessly hard to read.
Is this glitch safe to do on actual hardware? As in, is there risk of permanently changing the game cartridge's actual game data? Or are the effects always temporary?
I was working on an NES emulator and you having motivation to explain all the assembly instructions refilled my motivation to emulate running assembly
scanlines would have made it hell to read lol
0:41 yoshi ate the code's stability
How about explaining how to reverse engineer a gameboy rom or build a custom code, let's say in pokemon yellow? Glitch city wiki has great documentation about that, since nowadays there are many people trying to hack into original cartridges using ACE and saving the assembly code in SRAM!
idfk what you're talking about /lh but I like your voice and how passionate you are for this stuff
Wow, this explanation was incredible. Thanks for going into so much detail and graphically showing everything that was happening!
scam its fake it did not work you scammer you used a cheat code
You should do a video on why the MAME emulator of Donkey Kong loads the levels in a very slightly different order to the original arcade hardware.
The title made me think he was about to rip an actual Pokemon from the depth of the glitched sprites
can you do it with the single cartridge with super mario bros+tennis?
1:40 what?! No, you!
23:00 does this mean that if mario jumps inside the checkpoint, he won't clear it?
4:44 Ah, yes, my favorite type of 1-up, @#$%?
So will this add to your level counter? Because the Yoshi Wings will add a level count
the shit game pirates have to go through to get us free games:
“Every sample of the digital audio is 16bits” Thus that means the snes can generate audio at ABSOLUTE 16bits at 32khz,hence why it does have two 16bit audio dacs😁👍
Forensic analysis of Yars Revenge. Awesome.
My favorite Atari game and never knew this. Howard is awesome.
I have to admit this man's production value is excellent.
I think the resting states should be 01000100
I mean I love me sum mode 7 but ...... Damn !
My brain when I hear gameboy Pikachu: **Grabs microphone and takes out 2 huge speakers** "P I K A C H U" **boom.**
Just buy the book of the same name ... clearly, this is what the content creator did.
Welp, since things are explained, waiting a hack fix by fans, properly working 5ups and coin rewards 😆
