Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

I order to find it you must find Luigi in Super Mario 64.

Mario Chat / SMB3 strange 1-up sound
« on: January 22, 2008, 02:44:39 PM »
The mystery has been solved by our very own Xkeeper. Below is a link to the video and some sweet, sweet copypasta.
Zing.

This is a tool-assisted recording. That is, it slows down the game and uses save states, mostly to get the timing perfect to demonstrate.

Explanation:
The "glitch" involves the tail wag sound effect and the 1-up sound effect's calls getting merged. The sound code reads both, treats it like a 1-up sound effect, but writes the wrong length, so it plays more notes than it should. We're still doing some research here, but the general consensus among us is that it's just a glitch.

Timing:
Simply wag Mario's tail 5 frames (1/12sec) after the "1UP" symbol appears. Done right, the sound effects will conflict and the longer "version" will play. This is extremely difficult to replicate on purpose, which might explain why it was never caught.

An ongoing discussion of the topic can be found here.

Technical explanation:
The tail wag sound effect is written (B0), then the 1-UP (40) is ORed, resulting in F0. It writes the wrong "length" for the 1-up, and as it reads bytes in reverse, the beginning is broken instead of the end.
I never had any idea about this sound, not even while continuously attempting the trick.
Anyone else ever experienced the strange sound?

Super Circuit was a bad game imo.

Video Game Chat / Wii homebrew; Success!

Some delicious copypasta from other boards:

OH **** THEY ACTUALLY DID IT

The guys over at 24C3 just demoed a Wii hack that is set to provide native Wii
    homebrew in the near future (not running in GC mode, and with full access to all the Wii hardware!)

    They were able to find encryption and decryption keys by doing full memory
    dumps at runtime over a custom serial interface. Using these keys, they were
    able to create a Wii ‘game’ that ran their own code (their demo happened to show live sensor/Wiimote information, amongst a few other things).
Video proof

So, to summarize: Yes, RSA is still not very possible to crack, but if you can get the keys, then there's no need to break the encryption!

Also, Nintendo can't "fix" this without breaking a lot of older games.  So this looks like a catch-all solution, folks!  Expect things like an Action Replay in the future!

So yeah, except some crazy new Wii homebrews to come and go soon enough. :>
I can only imagine Virtual Boy emulation on a Wii.. Heck yes.

Why do all Christmas threads include 'What did you get' instead of 'What did you give'?

You consider quickly walking backwards a glitch.

If the Mario & Wario credits video is still needed, be sure to check my vid of it. Schwing.
If you want the video itself, use Vixy. It's an online YouTube video converter.

Well, I got pretty close. On the DS version, I used the tree glitch and beat the game without beating the first Bowser.

Elaborate, please.

Oh, no, I didn't.
The site has a small mushroom at the top right corner which upon clicking displays the list of Flash animations and their songs in a pop-up window. It's barely noticeable when you focus on the animation itself, and it is your first time visiting the site.
Nonetheless, the song is called "Men in Green", and is by Maktone, my favourite chiptunist. Check the site out.. His music is great.

EDIT: I just listened to the song you linked me to.. Sounds pretty similar..!

I've seen amusing TAS videos many times over, but this just breaks my mind.
