I was never good at social media and the way it’s generally been run doesn’t enthuse. However i might reminisce about the old times of making video games if i look up on a sunny day. You know where i mean.

@TSRStormed @Ghoulyboy It was not an exploit, it was how the RAM worked. I observed effects on 1980s home computers (Spectrums, Amstrads, Commodore, Oric etc) about 15-17 years before Tim asked me about ways to transfer codes. I simply investigated the effect and SnS was (briefly) born
English
@Paul_Mach1 @Ghoulyboy Do you remember how the exploit was discovered? I'm aware that coldswapping was even a "problem" on the NES where you could, for example, swap specific game carts to enter glitched levels in Super Mario Bros. I wouldn't be surprised if the SNES had the exploit too.
English
I’ve tried to tell the story of SnS as much as my memory would allow in recent years so it’s great to see @Ghoulyboy round things up. Also to see the correct term of “coldswap” here as we were never trying to hotswap which others have suggested & Nintendo feared

Early Christmas present maybe to those that care - it's the 'Coldswap' design (a.k.a. Stop n' Stop) in its full original guise, including the mysterious 'Next N64 Game'
English
@Paul_Mach1 @Ghoulyboy Ooooh, I remember hearing it some time ago in Norway, at least the technical side of it. It was amazing hearing it firsthand 😊

@OldStationSt @ToyokoINN_JP You should go have a look. I walked past it the other day and it’s been sealed off with concrete blocks and a single car apparently stranded in it. The parking signs have gone as well.

The illegal car park at the birthplace of heavy metal and home of Black Sabbath has an enforcement notice requiring it to close by 6 January.
Birmingham is watching you @ToyokoINN_JP

We worked in a farmhouse on the border of Leicestershire and Warwickshire, miles away from the rest of civilisation. And this game was created before the internet was a thing. We continuously played until it got too easy - and then ramped the difficulty level up until we found it a challenge. Wait till you get to level 5 🥵😅
Harpsibored@harpsibored
This is only level 2. Why is Battletoads so hard 😫 @David_Wise
English
@J_The_Shibe @Ghoulyboy Because the brief was NOT to use any other hardware, no other dependencies beyond buying our game carts, and once we shipped Banjo it was set in stone, only getting cancelled when Nintendo found out what we were doing in DK64.
English
@Ghoulyboy Really cool stuff, thank you for sharing. Something I always wondered is why not utilize a Memory Pak to transfer the data between the games? Was the idea that it'd be poor form to expect people to buy a memory card just for extra in-game goodies?

@Franck831840 @Avenger1100 @YesterdaysBrit1 Yeah i used to walk past the AC Cars factory in Thames Ditton in the 1970s and there’d be a bunch of these parked outside. Then there’d be a loud rumble and a Cobra would go past
English
Do you remember these vehicles, often referred to as 'Noddy cars' by their owners?

@MaxK_J @timoldland @Nir_Kahn @EncorDesign May i ask how it is compliant please? My 918 V8 comes up as non-compliant on the TFL car checker
English
@timoldland @Nir_Kahn @EncorDesign I was also pleasantly surprised to discover the 1990s era Lotus 918 V8 in my 2003 Esprit was ULEZ compliant
English
Drink it in 😍
Couple of people have said it’s overwheeled - just shows how tiny the Esprit is as they’re 17/18” rims!
Tim Oldland@Timoldland
Here it is - the @EncorDesign Series 1. An Esprit V8 stripped back to its essentials, 3.5 litre twin turbo V8 rebuilt to 400hp/475Nm, gearbox rebuilt and strengthened. Then an utterly gorgeous carbon fibre body is used, styled like the original Giugiaro Esprit concept car, to enable a sub-1200kg weight. What a stunning machine. Please share!!
English
@voidsrus4 Well u could just cut out a simple little carbon fibre bracket & attach it using the 2 existing screws under the plastic vent/switch cover as i did on my V8. I do think the Encore sits a little high though. My V8 had a suspension refresh 3 years ago and is lowered on Nitrons
English
what if you would like to navigate to your destination like it's not 1970

Naaaah. Old cars don’t need pointless screens. Christian von Koenigsegg did his Esprit perfectly. Nothing flashy or complicated.
