How People Reprogram Games...with a CONTROLLER

Thanks for featuring Triforce%! And yeah, the other comments about the editing quality are right. For example, you have a two-second zoom-out from the room transition in Kokiri Forest. You had to set up the OoT decomp on your computer to get the assets, learn enough fast64 to import the scene into Blender, hide the collision mesh, fix the Z fighting on the paths, set up some basic lighting, animate the camera fly, and render it. And that's for a random two second shot!

Something I used to think about as a kid was "I bet if I mash enough buttons fast enough I'll eventually find some obscure exploit that will let me do literally anything" and i am OVERJOYED that that is in fact true.

they made mario maker in 1990 and no one noticed

"Whats your game engine?" super mario world

"Program a video game?? Pfft. That's too easy. I programmed a video game IN A VIDEOGAME." - these absolute legends

God forbid we find out we're in the matrix, these folk would turn reality to Dig Dug.

Super Mario World was really the first Maker-type game, they just really needed to step it up with accessibility

The lengths fans take with Nintendo's games is beyond fascinating. Unfortunately, all the Big N did is to view such passion projects as utter heresy and unfairly tar them as "piracy".

If a modern game had an arbitary code execution bug it would be called a security vunarablity.

9:13 love how recognizable Carl is, i can practically hear him laughing lol

I think youtube algorithm was heavily improved in 2024, best time to start having a YouTube channel with just good content.

I'm actually surprised at how well edited this is for a small channel!

Thank you for not ruining this video by turning it into a 30+ minute long circle talking session with per-word subtitles

15:41 ayyyy it’s me! extremely good video. the explanations, visuals and examples were all spot on. nice job!

I'll never be able to escape Ocarina of time ACE

I saw the Triforce% a few days after it happened online, and had no idea what was happening or the significance, now that I know I'm honestly pretty amazed.

I've been a fan of ACE for a long time so I'm happy to see someone cover this.

The speedrunning and TAS community never cease to amaze me

Some people think computers are smart, but really they're just rocks that humans tricked into doing math. As such computers only do exactly what they're told to, regardless if what they do is what the developers intended. That said, computers were much more limited back in the day, in both processing power and memory, so developers often had to cut corners to get it to work adequately, neglecting checks, causing potential for unintended behavior. Conversely, including a lot of checks to make sure those unintended behaviors don't happen requires more computing power and more memory, which were both very limited back in the day. All that said, ACE is considered a major security vulnerability, so be very careful when attempting it yourself, as one wrong move could brick your system, or worse.
