Oh my god, I just learned of a hilariously obvious bug that Nintendo (of all companies) failed to fix.

someone in QA should have spotted that. You can crash the whole gamecube game by MOVING THE JOYSTICK IN THE WRONG WAY inside a NES game

@foone update you are in fact going a different direction than "nintendo switch d pad is four independent buttons"

I learned this from this amazing video where a speedrunner is trying to crash every Zelda game as fast as possible:

_EVERY_ Zelda. Are there different glitches in a demo? in the Zelda Game & Watch? They checked them all.

@sycophantic try it in Zelda: Link to the Past, it basically turns off collision detection for walls
-
as someone who has speedran crashing windows 95, I appreciate this runners moxie
-
maybe I should do a similar video for "every windows version"
-
win9x is easy. win-r "c:\con\con" and you bluescreen and then lock up
-
I'm not sure how you'd "crash" DOS. what even counts?
I mean, easy mode: run debug, write your own code, HALT the processor
-
@xarph that's how Nintendo has always done D-pads! They just rely on the physical properties of the D-pad's plastic rocker to keep you from pressing opposite directions

@foone curious if this game is available on Switch and if that is a potential vector for installing CFW. Hmm...
(I'd be surprised if I was the first person to think of this, so it probably isn't.)
-
I'm guessing for purity you'd want to crash it from the command prompt, and the program you use to crash can't have you write bad code (no BASICs or DEBUG) and you have to use a program that comes with DOS (no crashing CANTCODE.EXE)

@sillyCoelophysis I would really, really doubt it. This particular glitch just hardlocks the emulator, I don't think you can inject code or anything

@foone The onomatopœia for foxes in Japanese is "kon kon".

@kewliomzx oh I see! cool

@foone I'm surprised at how some of these end up surviving. Marvel vs Capcom 3 had a "hold both directions" bug that let you block both left and right at the same time - IIRC you could do it on a gamepad using dpad+analogue stick, same as that Zelda bug. Which is pretty bad for a fighting game!!
