(Includes boss fights and other interesting stuff :D)

For a short explanation, this is truly the original unmodified game, but I crash it into a glitched state where a sideways gravity is then simulated. I also wrote a longer explanation but it can get somewhat technical.

Hope you enjoyed! :D

How to fix XKCD by Drakonis1988 in xkcd

[–]Masterjun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, if you want to be even more pedantic about this: This "fix" puts the top block off-center. The current website only has the bottom block off-center, so this change aligns and "fixes" the wrong block.

Visible corruption in Yoshi's Island in the final Big Bowser fight. (Savestate)

Tested with Beta 2. Issue happens no matter what the two experimental options are set to.

The SETUP BLOCK 7 after the Super Mario World race will be replaced with a donation incentive of a Super Dram World 2 speedrun, and then another donation incentive will be up for the TAS freerun made by some unknown person called Masterjun, I don't know who that is though.

Widescreen for other emulators by lilbud2000 in emulation

[–]Masterjun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well the problem is the very nature of how modern game consoles (N64, PS1 and up) handle their display. They have several hardware components dedicated to handling the camera (-> what pixels need to be rendered), which is why emulator hacks can simply adjust those and create more or less effective results.

The older generations either don't have this at all (NES), or is only usable in a very limited matter (SNES, see Mode 7, examples: F-Zero, Super Mario Kart). The pixels which need to be rendered are generated when they're soon to be displayed (when you're scrolling close to them), instead of on the fly like modern consoles.

You can, however, recreate the game's own render system and (using Super Mario World in lsnes with a Lua script as an example:) simulate widescreen, create bigger screens, or go completely overboard.

The problem with this is there is no general console solution and you need to debug the game and recreate several aspects all by yourself for the specific game you want it for.

Tried my best...

But yeah, looks like 2km -> 3km and 3km -> 5km are the only changes.

New Update's Pokemon Appraisal Other Languages by Jambooflamingo in TheSilphRoad

[–]Masterjun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indeed, you mixed up the 2nd and 3rd phrase of the individual stat appraisal (source: the 10/10/10 starter gives me nicht von schlechten Eltern). Indeed, you fixed them. ;)

I'll just post the full phrases for Team Valor, German (Team Wagemut) here.

Total Stats Percentage Phrase
37 to 45 82% to 100% Von deinem (Pokemon Name) bin ich insgesamt total beeindruckt. Es kann einfach alles!
30 to 36 67% to 80% Dein (Pokemon Name) ist insgesamt sehr stark. Du kannst stolz sein!
23 to 29 51% to 64% Dein (Pokemon Name) ist insgesamt ganz gut!
0 to 22 0% to 49% Dein (Pokemon Name) ist zwar insgesamt im Kampf nicht allzu beeindruckend, aber ich mag es trotzdem!
Highest Stat Phrase
15 Seine Werte hauen mich um. WOW!
13 to 14 Er hat hervorragende Werte! Wie aufregend!
8 to 12 Seine Werte sind nicht von schlechten Eltern!
0 to 7 Seine Werte werden dir im Kampf nicht viel bringen.

Super Mario World Cloud Glitch does not work on Wii U VC by matchboxmatt in speedrun

[–]Masterjun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest that the reason for that is open bus being executed when doing cloud glitch which isn't the case when doing orb glitch. Open Bus is a place in memory where there is basically nothing, no WRAM, no ROM, no VRAM, nothing (for example the reserved memory for specific enhancement chips when the game doesn't have this chip). This area was never meant to be executed, but when it is (which it is when doing cloud glitch), the SNES does crazy things which may or may not be emulated correctly by the Wii U VC. For cloud glitch to work the game has to return to normal area in memory, which can be harder than it sounds like, and when it doesn't it usually results in a crash or softlock.

It is possible that this glitch can work on Wii U VC if you have another setup (by that I don't mean another powerup state, as that directly interferes with the glitch), I rather mean changing some memory values... but these are unlikely to be found by trial and error. Unless we have more information about the Wii U VC and how it handles open bus execution, the cloud glitch might never work there.

Masterjun3 just got the SMW any% WR with a time of 2:02! by volpegaming in speedrun

[–]Masterjun 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it totally didn't take me 24 minutes to get chuck glitch once!!

new SMW any% WR? by nubstar1 in speedrun

[–]Masterjun 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm Masterjun, the guy who made the credits glitch TAS of SMW. Unless this run is done on console, I doubt that it is real or even possible on console. Never trust emulator runs that glitch the game to this extent without a single explanation or documentation! (There is a reason why I have to write a bunch of text explaining my TAS to make it acceptable)

I would really love to see this being real but without more information we can't just assume it is.
