this is cool af. original, 1978 Midway Space Invaders being debugged because there's a sound that it isn't playing. i always forget much of this stuff is built right into the hardware. just a mini spoiler: he opens up the machine, starts a game and triggers the sound effects by grounding different pins on a few different chips. around 17:54 he goes onto explain he needs to start a game first, and then triggers the pins, but if you're inclined, it's worth watching the whole thing

also lots of schematics are shown and explained. it's a treasure trove of beautiful ancient electronic goodness

big agree
joes classic video games is a pro click. he’s funny as hell a lot of the time and explains stuff pretty darn well from a troubleshooting standpoint. he doesn’t know how half the stuff works and doesn’t care. just wants to fix it. he’s like CuriousMarc’s opposite but in a good way. both of them are awesome.

this is such a profoundly awesome idea. it has to have been done before though, right? maybe he mentioned that when he said all the parts you would need can be obtained from certain hardware. slight accent barrier for me made some of it hard to understand, but for the most part i knew what was going on. so many benefits to using magnetic gears!

by the way, some americans might see some of the the diagrams as overly patriotic. just a fair warning..

going back to magnetic gears, i see US patents for them go far back as 1900, but are they widely used?

no. their strength is limited to the strength of the magnets rather than that mechanical strength of the materials like conventional gears, so you're probably going to have to use electromagnets, in which case just use a motor

I actually had kind of an issue with this video because it doesn't draw a very clear distinction between what content was buried/unused in the OoT cartridge until they unearthed it and presented it, and what content was just stuff they programmed into the N64 by inputting a ton of data using ACE, as basically a demoscene thing. The beta Kokiri is actually real, but the low-resolution version of Breath Of The Wild with full speech isn't, so somewhere in the middle of the TAS they crossed the boundary from reality to pure fiction, and it's all very impressive, but, is the Triforce cutscene actually in the ROM, or did they just faithfully recreate it, or what?

Oneiros
Jan 12, 2007



my understanding is that basically everything before the n64 skyward sword vision is either actual dev stuff left in the game or recreations of stuff seen in early marketing material kinda strung together

they absolutely do cross a line at some point and don't really do a good job of calling out what's what but it's still pretty drat impressive imo

yeah everything up to and including the tri force is in game, they just had to go to various lengths of breaking the game to get it to work. streaming the twitch chat in game was extremely impressive

I think they either explain it in the video or it's in a write down somewhere:

the beta kokiri and that little plane thing from the other game is in the original game.

Then it very quickly goes completely off script. The running man race is in there but they never programmed a win condition. Once they beat the running man and it starts that boss fight, it's all new stuff injected into the game. Everything after that is injected too, including the triforce. The triforce was seen in beta screenshots but wasn't in the real game.

tasbot is neat but it feels kinda meh to watch. ACE is conceptually really cool, but when tasbot can treat the controller port like a serial port it feels like cheating

watching actual humans do ACE in like super Mario world is mind blowing though.
