Displaced Gamers

Go smell a bookstore.

I think I found three off-by-one bugs in the game I am investigating, and that’s super exciting. Because code. Finding bugs and fixing them is more fun than writing code and making them. There. I said it.

@jeffqchen No. One belt remains.

@DisplacedGamers We are back in business?🤡

Alright. Well…

@JDURGIT Not gonna lie - I dropped a screw in there somewhere about 12 steps ago.

@DisplacedGamers Here's where you find one washer you can't recall taking out, and hear a loose rattle inside when you move the container...... I hate the Nintendo Wii. (PTSD came out for some reason).

@Samatyorkshire Yep. Sony TC-K51

@DisplacedGamers What deck is it BTW - I want to say Sony looking at thst flywheel

“Change the belts on your cassette deck,” they said. “It’ll be easy,” they said.

I am really surprised that none of you were shocked by this cursed screw!👀👀👀

I joined Ron of Ron's Computer Videos to talk about Big Box PC Games. Just a fun, casual conversation about collecting games with a bit of story telling. Give it a watch! youtube.com/watch?v=fz3Plq…

@Derek_Rumpler Maybe? I've kept copying the same thumbnail image file and then modifying it for the thumbnail (keep the fonts in the same place and all that). I have done that for a few years now. Maybe I will start from scratch for the next one I make. Ha

@DisplacedGamers Maybe the image editing software you used tagged it as made with AI because something in it was developed with AI?

Also - I have no idea why my final fantasy video post has a little star with “made with ai” on x. That’s funny.

@GyllenDrage I'll ask myself that question when I look in the mirror after waking up tomorrow. If I start crying... uhh... I'll get back to you.

@DisplacedGamers Maybe you are an AI but don’t know you are? I’ll eagerly await the Displaced Gamers - Behind the code episode when you finally hack yourself 😂

Ever wonder how Final Fantasy gets the numbers you see during battle? How do your stats contribute to physical attacks? Are there any bugs in the game? (spoilers: uhh... yeah) Behind the Code has finally reached Final Fantasy. Enjoy. youtu.be/O_CLnBCgJks

Less than eight hours away from the next video. You might just say that this is the Final countdown.

Found an error with the 2nd Wily skull in Mega Man II, that appears on Dr. Wily's Castle. While I was porting everything over to the SNES, I noticed the left eye of the skull was missing a portion of it's yellow eye. I then discovered that the developers had the tile id going to the wrong OAM buffer address for it to be displayed. I sniffed around the Cutting Room Floor to see if this has been already discovered, and it hasn't. Hurray for me!🙂 ROM address $35AC9 in both Mega Man 2 & Rockman 2, has STA $02F5 (8DF502), when it should be STA $02E5 (8DE502). Check out the image below to see. 🙂 @ak_blueprints

I did a speedrun of Glass Joe on the newly discovered prototype of Punch Out! It doesn't play any audio though, so I ended up doing a complete restoration of the audio using very advanced tech. Please hear the tech you won't regret the tech. youtube.com/watch?v=C9FjUd…

@jeffqchen 👀 What’s going on?

Printed with screwed up settings but still came out almost alright 🫠

When your sports card hobby and your video game hobby cross paths…

Here is my parallax scrolling engine that i've implemented, into my Mega Man II port on the Super Nintendo. For vertical scroll, I simply have bg1 $210E sent to bg2 $2110 so they match. Right now bg2 is simply a manual paste of tiles into the SNES vram, tilemap is 64x32. Just imagine what this will look like with updated gfx and cgram down the road. Enjoy my playthrough. 🙂
