Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?





My GameCube is haunted, that's the only conclusion I can come up with. On a whim, I decided I wanted to try playing my old Ocarina of Time Master Quest disk on my GameCube using my brand new GCHD device (totally not a sponsored LP). When I booted it, I was met with this:




hosed up, right? I've seen a lot of poo poo in my day from various Chaos Mode hacks, so I naturally decided to see how far I could take this mess. And because I've been so desensitized to stuff like this, we're doing this live on stream, too! The decision to do this as a full-on LP production came after the first stream was done, which is why that's being presented as a direct stream VOD instead of my usual style.

Off-camera too, I've done many experiments to try and figure out what point of this process is breaking down: I've foregone the use of the GCHD to use the system's composite out to see if the GCHD was the problem (it wasn't); I've tried the disk on a Wii to see if the disk is scuffed up weirdly causing strange read issues (it wasn't); I've tried ripping the ISO using the GameCube to see if it booted weirdly in Dolphin, which got me a broken ISO that Dolphin seems to think is a Korean disk? I even tried booting a clean rip of this ISO and Majora's Mask rom the Collector's Edition disk and they both booted with the same weird z-buffer issues, so I can safely say that the problem lies with my GameCube. I did eventually manage to rip the file from my disk that contains the Ocarina rom, which boots in Dolphin without issue, so whatever is going on, its exclusive to my GameCube.



This will be a casual stream LP, which means that every so often, maybe once a week, and episodes will be chopped up from the recordings. If you've never played Ocarina of Time before, maybe go check out a different LP, such as the one Faerie Fortune did with me 5 years agoholy poo poo its been 5 years, because this is absolutely going to be a run that assumes familiarity with the source material.

I believe you've hit upon what actually happened to ChaosArgate's Gamecube.

"You want to play a fun game? TOO BAD, Waluigi time!"

I'm kind of curious if any other Gamecube games are affected like this by the Waluigicube, or if it's just this one.

Like I said in the OP, the only other game that was officially released that fucks up like this that I've seen is Majora's Mask. I've gotten MK64 working though and that's hosed up! Maybe for a quick one-off thing we can take a look at that.

Hey, we're getting back to streaming this at 8 EST, so about 20 minutes from now. We'll be picking up from about halfway into the Water Temple.

So I don't know what happened, but I don't have the raw recording for this session, meaning this was stitched together with the Twitch VOD, which means that there's an audio hissing that I just cannot get rid of for this session. This encompasses this episode, and the next two, so hopefully its not too unbearable.

That was pretty much what I expected. And next is the water temple, which I've been looking forward to since I saw how mad this was :allears:

I'm sorry to disappoint, but we're doing the trading sequence today. :v:

What are you even doing that your twitch audio is so bad but the actual video audio is fine?

I think its my audio set up, honestly. I use a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 with an Audio Technica 2020 mic, but there might be some electrical thing going on that's introducing the hissing? Next time I stream I might use a separate mic entirely for stream audio to see if that helps in the slightest.

And this concludes the session with my awful hissing. Earlier today I tested an idea I had for making the streams themselves more presentable and it seemed fine, so hopefully it should be alright for the rest of them.

Just a heads up, I'm gonna take a break from uploading til the new year since I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow. This goes for all three LPs I'm currently running, so no matter where you see this message, I hope you have a great rest of the year, and hope to see you all back when we pick things back up next year!

And we're back! Also, we may or may not try to do a stream tonight, but no promises, things might be a little hectic on my end today.

Some of your voices were really quiet in this one, not sure if it's on my end or not.

Nah that’s more on me. Cocommentator audio for this LP is whatever Elgato Sound Capture grabbed through Discord, so if someone’s sitting away from their mic or something, they won’t be as loud and I don’t have any ability to adjust that.

That was a glorious end to a wonderful journey through Luak's time-travel-scrambled madness, telling the epic saga of a sentient evil cape that was eventually defeated by some sort of goblin with the ability to ignore floors.

And then Missingno spawned over the credits.

I still have no idea how any of this happened, but thank you for sharing it with us.

I hope someday you change your mind about Mjorjor's Msak.

The nature of how Majora's Mask runs on GameCube makes changing my mind on doing a full run of that incredibly unlikely with how unstable it is, especially since I have to do it on real hardware so I don't get save states to mitigate random crashes. I won't say no to doing a one-off thing sometime down the line, but I did have something else in mind too...
