Cool.
My dearest editor friend, can you link any additional information on this device in the description? There dosnt seem to be any easy way to find information on hardware corruption on the corrupt wiki. Or anywhere to find Eric “cluzar”.
So when is the "Mario searches Saddam Hussein's dumpster" animation?
I just wanna see this crazy dumpster with solar flares and lightning inside
"Mario, I still don't understand! Why are we in Iraq searching through this dumpster?"
"Luigi, this isn't just any shitty Brooklyn dumpster with rats and banana peels. There's corruptions in there! Do you have any idea who this dumpster belonged to? We gotta find the corruptions Luigi. The corruptions are in Saddams dumpster. Now climb up here and help me."
Are you calling the NES a dumpster? Have at you!
I can see the illustration now. The corrupt NES is sitting right next to the ventilation fan.
Oh come on, don't slime girl Vinny again. You know he'd watch that on stream.
Vinny using a hammer, ice, and popsicles to make an nes game corrupt is something special that I didn't even realize I needed in my life.
He never hinted at doing this either unlike the corruptions class.
12:18 Cheetos were introduced in 1948. Vinny is 76 years old confirmed.
A snack that was introduced to the world during my grandmother's childhood that she still enjoys.
I really enjoyed how Vinny's claim appeared to trip that circuit-bent NES 's bullshit alarm!
vinny's true identity revealed

There's an arrow pointing toward it and everything. It WANTS you to look at it
The timing of the arrow was perfect
S T R O K E P L A Y
"That looks like a penis."
*comedic arrow appears*
About 14:30: I microwaved a cartridge once for a few seconds because I was so frustrated with it. It was a rental of Rock&Roll Racing, if I correctly remember. It still worked fine.
who knows what corruptions you bestowed upon the next rentee
@@johnfreeman9349 yeah it probably just took time to awaken, but then it is ready for its next (or rather, first) victim
This made me chuckle good. Why wait for the cosmic rays when you can *control them yourself?*
@@EddieSpaghetti69 you seem to be challenging me to produce transuranium elements just to *really* expose a cartridge to similar energies
@@luisp.3788 Not as hard as you'd think, more manufacturing then it's worth. Easier is to boost the output of your microwave by a couple hundred volts and it "Should" give enough radiation. It should also out-power the shielding thats in there, making things *Really Fun* as microwaves contain weak cages to protect from leakage.
Or just head out to the Uranium Flats near BC-Alberta, or apply to carry dangerous cargo and try to pick some up at El Paso or anywhere where "Unwanted Materials" are dumped.
The laws are *Funky* regarding Radiation. It's like it's bee half-studied and half-done, like its byproducts from half-lifes.
Real-world corruptions do indeed exist. My copy of Super Smash Bros. on N64 does not allow you to play through Single Player mode as anyone but Mario. No matter which character you choose at the menu, the game will simply act as if you chose Mario. No other game mode is affected.
Disk-based ones too. My copy of Armored Core For Answer would have the mech's arm and guns inside the torso if you loaded a certain chest piece.
Not sure if it was a repeatable glitch or a corruption but my brother was playing Shadow of the Colossus on the ps2 years and years ago and Wander disappeared. Turned completely invisible. You could still play, but his weapons had a magenta tinge to them
Just FYI when I was repairing a flood damaged N64 cart of Conker's BAD Fur Day that I got for $20 on eBay (the motherboard had corrosion on the main cpu and pins), upon reassembly I had tightened the screws down just a little too tight. When I put the game in, the colors were all wonky and the music was all low and pitched down, and it scared the hell out of me. I found out if I squeezed the cart in a specific spot it stopped the effect, so I opened the cart back up, loosened the screws just a tiny bit, put it back in, and game worked fine.
There was this kid on miiverse whose copy of Smash for Wii U was incredibly fucked up. All the character model were glitchy and stretched in weird ways. He ended up getting a second copy of the game, but that was ALSO glitchy, so it was probably a problem with his Wii U itself.
@@subparlario4916i remember that, his DK was super fucked up and someone made a comment saying "he has no arms, he has no face, this kong came from the depth of space"
i legit was thinking to myself in the excitebike section "vinny you should hit the nes with a hammer" and like 10 seconds later he hits it with a hammer
All of these cartridges were found in the trunk of Miyamoto’s car, which itself was found in a dumpster behind a Dairy Queen in Saddam Hussein’s bunker. What did he mean by this?
Hussein had good taste in ice cream.
Miyamoto found out Hussein pirated Nintendo games
Saddam Hussein was the first Iraqi to work on the Metroid series. His mother is very proud.
@Manperson7 Hey, no point in getting a Dairy Queen in your bunker if you can’t keep it running.
I respect the hustle of New Yorkers selling NY Earthquake shirts just an hour after it happened.
I think they had the shirts in the stock room for this exact scenario
Doesn't seems like something to be praised really.
Last year I visited Wildwood and the power went off for a day, which meant 90% of the boardwalk was closed. The next day the power was working again and there were about 3 or 4 shops selling "I survived the wildwood power outage" shirts. They're always on that grindset.
i can only respect it out of a questioning of "were they fully expecting an NY-specific earthquake to eventually happen???"
although that kind of hustle reminds me of some very few places in my town that sold some:
"I Survived Snow-Vid" where we in Texas had that never-before-seen record low temps that killed our power grid
and then people fucking died, and all that when Covid was still very unknown and people were actively dying from that.
so in the end, a shirt made in EXCEEDINGLY poor taste in my opinion.
@@ArcRay20Nah they’re just hustling bro. You just wouldn’t understand
13:14
Mario is suffering from the corruption. He is calling for you
Help help
I only noticed that now XD
The fact he is wearing gloves while handling the cartridges like hes holding a life ending substance that eats through your flesh and nervous system the moment it makes contact with your skin and the symptoms only show once it's too late for you is hilarious
Don't mock workplace safety. Vinny was handling extremely volatile dangerous corruptions. If those broke containment we could end up with pink Marios dying in real life.
@@ngwoo nooo its not that bad I think, I actually dont understand why Vinny is overreactiOH MY GOD I TOUCHED IT OH GOD OH GOD IT OH OGH NO NOOOO AAAAAAUUGHH
@@jeasydj123 F
Almond milk cures every ailment, go drink some almond milk. Almond milk is the best!
The guy who send them said he made the corruptions, but what if he actually found these cartridges in Osama bin Laden's dumpster and they're cursed with terrorism and shit? You never know with these things man, you don't just touch them with your bare hands.
Reminds me of a fun childhood afternoon with two friends, somehow getting a plug-n-play from the Walgreens toy aisle to corrupt memory via mercilessly slamming it into the hardwood floor.
I'd love to see Vinny attempt that one, though I don't remember why it even worked.
The plug and plays use a cheap av out cable which is highly prone to interference, especially if said cable is damaged.
Sometimes you can get similar effects by quickly mashing the power or reset buttons, depending on the console.
I have a wheel of fortune plug and play with a frayed but taped cable that severely glitches out the more you play it. Sadly, the only corruptions seem to be the screen going nuts and inverting the colors.
The chips going out also lead to some interesting things happening. Maybe that's what broke when you slammed it, but somehow not enough to completely stop the thing from working.

@@oatbran I did he suplex’d me at too many games
Vinny: So I fixed this audio to--
Audio: BBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
perfect comedic timing from nes-chan
Chan? Are you anime girling the retro consoles in your mind?
@@RainbyFINObviously a typo, he meant to type NES-Chad as this NES repeatedly asserted dominance over Melpert during this stream.
@@RainbyFINI didn't know Japanese girls were all anime
@@NecromancyForKids They're not, but we all know anime artstyle girls are specifically likely to be in a gamer's mind. Also I'm not seriously judging either way lol
13:35 Vinny talking about "Someone's mario 3 cartridge could've been like this"; i got a copy of Link to the Past that had a manufacturing defect that caused it to bend a pin in my SNES, and it caused glitches like this on every single game after I played it. I got it repaired through the warranty service, but MAN it was terrifying
Vinny taking a hammer to decades-old irreplaceable technology is a real Mike Stoklasa move
its very replaceable
Where does one buy another NES motherboard then buckaroo
@@mikofox9798 while you cant get an identical thing, that's like saying "this hamburger is irreplaceable" because you cant clone it. nes clone consoles are good enough, and so are emulators.
I once had a weird accidental corruption with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on real hardware where the "Press Start" was vertical. It just said "PRES", and played for about 10 seconds.
6:37 When the laws of the universe break down.
That was some OG Kaizo World trap right there.

Have we've gone too far?
15:23
Starting point for "Mario Goes to Fix Sadam Hussein's Toilet and Discovers the Scummiest SMB3 Cartridge" right here.
Let's stop to appreciate that, in his Mario and Luigi bits, it turns out both of them are delusional, Mario's just edgier and in denial. That's some lore happening.
i like how it started off with mario being level-headed and trying to convince luigi the mushroom kingdom wasn't real and that their lives were terrible, and now we have mario making up insane stories about saddam hussein's septic tank just so he wouldn't have to admit to luigi that he sucks at smb3
1:13:17 One time when I was little, I was playing Excitebike and I wiped out and the game froze in a way where all the audio was still working. You could here the crowd and see bikes driving by, but my character stayed on the ground and wouldn't get up. My dad joked that he died and I got really sad.
HAHA
Vinny fingers and slaps his NES (not clickbait)
Me and my son (he's nearly 1) have been watching these corruptions on this channel since he was a new born and he loves them. So impressive you can do this on actual hardware!
that kids gonna turn out different. terminal 7
Go goo da da clown vomit
Child corruption
child born from the sauce
what does he love about them. i'm very curious.
When the corruption emerged from that rotten ROM...
...I knew all would be right in your world.
THose Mario 3 corruption noises sounded familiar. I heard them before years ago! I just gotta find that video 14:43 has the exact sound garbage data sound I remember.
Found it! It was one of ElBlocko's videos called SMB3 Game Genie Orchestra. Right on the last stage before the airship the game crashes with that exact garbage soundtrack.
@@RyanBlazheart good work detective 👍
11:47
I always love it when corrupted games just decide to turn up the _greatest_ remixes.
This is probably the most ambitious Corruption Stockpile. I hope there can be more of these maybe PS2 corruptions on actual hardware.
I don’t know how that would work, though i also assume next Sunday we are getting normal corruptions since they have built up, and he still didn’t touch the emulation ones with real time corrupter.
Shocking the ram directly to change the bytes
@@joshshrum2764 Idk if Vinny does corruptions two weeks in a row. I assume those will probably show some time from now

As someone who love noise and glitch music I love those gnarly sounds that the corrupted hardware produces. Almost makes me wanna get a NES and learn how to fuck with some cartridges
this is more or less just circuit bending which is used a lot in some experimental music. one of my fav uses is a bended speak & spell in a current 93 track. it's gnarly
@@resiseven7407 Which track and which album?
@@monophone903 "i have a special plan for this world", it was a long single or, i guess single track EP. the speak & spell noises sorta separate the stanzas of this poem / short story that's read throughout
@@resiseven7407 damn it, the one thing not on Spotify. God, that's dumb. But yeah, I've really been meaning to listen to that one
@@monophone903 there are places!
It's hilarious how more and more Ungasauce this stream went. From hitting the NES with a hammer to feeding it ice pops.
You can get away with abusing consoles like the NES and 2600 quite a bit, because close to 80% of it is just empty space added for the sake of marketing to the west.
Top-loaders are the *actual* amount of space the NES/Famicom hardware takes up, and even then it's so simple that it's honestly hard to damage outside of just completely breaking it apart.
On this episode Binny conjurs Saddam Hussein’s spirit by sacrificing an NES once owned by him
Why do most of these corruption sounds always instill this primordial sense of fear within me?
Probably because they are physically corruptions. These can *and did* happen to real life random people, myself included. It's like a toilet suddenly flushing on it own. It shouldn't do that, but it did.
That makes the difference. That one wrong pin can unleash eldritch horror noises into your ears is the real fear you are experiencing.
Happend to me in a night terror... Thoses sounds screaming in my ears, in bed, in the middle of the night.
When I was a kid I had Gauntlet on the NES and for years I never realized it was corrupted. I kept trying to find online what it was called but couldn't because I could barley remember the game since it was just nonsense blocks of colors and loud scary gibberish sounds. I was 5 or so when I had it to I never realized and still tried to play it and had nightmares about how scary the sounds were. eventually found out it was Gauntlet when I saw a non corrupted screenshot of them game and went wait..... is that what it was meant to look like?
I also thought you were meant to spit inside the cartridges because I saw siblings blowing on them to get the dust out, but being 5 I thought they were spitting in them... so that might explain why it was so badly corrupted....
bro was SPITTING INTO HIS CARTS
To be fair, the NES "port" of Gauntlet is do bad it may as well be corrupted.
We didnt get a good gauntlet port until the Genesis, but its better than the Arcade version so I guess it evens out, lol.
I got a political campaign ad against corruption before this video.
"You wouldn't download a nintendo"
I'm a little impressed these games are even able to run under these conditions. I assume a lot of the non-graphical corruption is from onboard memory errors. NES games often maintained a pointer or a jump table index in RAM to branch out into different control flows (is the game on the title screen or in a level, is Mario on the ground or in the air, etc.). If that index or pointer is corrupted in RAM, it usually results in the CPU jumping to an arbitrary memory location and executing bytes blindly as code which is an instant crash 99% of the time. The chances of any specific byte being corrupted in work RAM is only about 0.0061%, but presumably many corruptions are happening in quick succession. There's also the issue of the return address stack, which depending on the game has anywhere from a 0.001% to 0.2% chance of being corrupted with a single error.
tahts teh maegeic
I wish my reading comprehension wasn’t so shite
Yeah, it's really impressive how stable these are on the hardware side as well - just "bending pins" willy-nilly isn't exactly a recipe for electronic stability. I'd be interested to dig into what the failure modes of these are as a side project.
I only vaguely know what that means as someone into emulation, but I basically read it in layman's terms as "running for that long typically causes mathematical errors in the RAM and CPU that brick the game, so it's surprising these work at all".
Please correct me/elaborate if I'm wrong.
"It's impressive the NES doesn't crash considering most of the corruptions aren't visual."
"To explain, pointers and jump tables are used to forward data into their specific locations. If a pointer or jump table breaks, the CPU executes data in undesired areas and forces a crash."
"The chance for a corruption is abysmally small, but errors in succession (in the milliseconds) increases it drastically."
That's how I read it.
does anyone remember a cartridge tilting series from like over 10 years ago? it had no commentary in it just cartridge tilting glitches, I can't find it at all now
Now I wanna see it too, dang it
@@carl-wheezer I found a playlist of cartridge tilting videos and it has a lot of private videos in it, I think the series was called something like "cartridge tilting madness"
it's very easy to tilt n64 carts to make quick corruptions
I remember finding a series on cartridge tilting primarily on Sega Genesis games years ago, but it seems to have disappeared off of TH-cam. I wish I saved it when I had the chance
@@kickerguy I think we're thinking of the same series actually, if I remember right the first episode was mostly cartridge tilting the genesis sonic games
I like how Vinny always wears gloves when he shows his hands he secretly wants to be a vtuber
The whole heat glitch thing is true. I still remember on my windows 98 playing Sonic R for the 100th time... And on this day when picking the city stage the floor textures were so fed to the point i could not even race due to the floor being half corrupt and half water. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen! Again it was unplayable but, i had the best time playing on that day. All the stages were broken. Never happened to me ever again sadly.
31:10 golfer mario turns into a protogen and dies in the ocean (the electronics are not waterproof)
1:05:39
I can explain these for those who are unfamiliar:
The person who modified the cartridges added a small prototype PCB with those blue objects called resistors to alter the output from each trace that they're connected to. The added resistance is enough to modify what the hardware is anticipating and causes the issues. This is why corroded or dirty cartridges are mentioned earlier, as they have a similar (but MUCH less predictable) effect on the output signals.
1:05:45
The same as above is depicted here.The gunk that chatters are beginning to note is just glue, and it really is essential. It serves the purpose of preventing anything from coming into unexpected contact with another point. Unanticipated current can cause a short circuit and destroy the cartridge.
1:05:51
As above, so below. This time the modder uses header pins and different cabling to streamline the process by the looks of it.
1:06:07
Even more efficient cabling and fancier use of female header pins.
1:06:33
This is where it starts to get really interesting. The probing setup uses a single potentiometer, which is just a variable-state resistor. The red cables sticking out of the PCB are leads into select output traces/IC pins in order to be tested with the potentiometer. You can see the two alligator clips connected, with the blue one being where the signal enters the potentiometer and the green one being the pin that is getting the reduced output. The potentiometer is set to a high resistance in this image.
1:06:39
The potentiometer is a very simple tool to probe with, as you can see there are only three pins. The middle pin is the input, and is what the potentiometer is using as a reference. The pin on the left is being used as the output, and will receive less resistance if the knob is turned its way. The pin on the right is not connected to anything, and would be considered a ground in this case. Turning the knob in the direction of the ground will add a higher resistance, changing the current enough to corrupt more (depending on how high the resistance is. At some point, it will just fail to read properly and not work).
From here, the pictures go on to show the process of assembly, mainly just soldering connections, but still very nice work to be seen. The modder really gave a lot of information to work with by taking those images and should be proud of their work. This actually looks like it'd be a really fun project to do at home.
Nice NES cam Vinyot, now I can choke my chicken everytime you touch that dirty old machine.
...Your *chicken?*
@@mikofox9798You poor innocent soul
As a kid our smb cart one time had this weird issue where the goombas wouldn't move, and if you stomped them they'd stay in their stomped sprite. You had to jump on goombas twice to kill them and the hud was corrupted. When i first watched corruptions years ago i thought it was the same sorta thing lol
in the NES cartridged slot, straight up "jorkin it"
and by it, well, let's just say. my switch

6:20 "I fixed this audio..." Yeah, I don't know about that Vinny
im kinda disappointed there aren´t icy pops or a hammer in the thumbnail

Holy shit Joel deltarune?

I created a similar effect when I was little by plugging in a Game Genie and entering codes at random.
Those were the days.
Madlad
Nah man the little skit with the mario and luigi voices was absolutely ON POINT, it made me laugh so hard I *accidentally* subcribed and *accidentally* clicked the notification bell
My friend had a copy of majoras mask where you would start the game with a full inventory of blue ocarinas
oh shit, I had one like that. it went away, not sure what causes/fixes it
@@GribbleGobI heard that if you tilt the cartridge upside down into the N64, put your controller into port 6, put it in your microwave as you turn it on and click your heels three times, a hyper realistic bloody Link appears on your screen and gives you the ocarinas before the game goes into the fifth day. Speedrunners used to use that glitch a lot before they found way easier ones.
Oh yeah that actually happened to me too once, I think it was cartridge tilting or hitting it for me. They actually worked too!
Dude yeah wait, I had the same thing happen to me as a kid but with Zora masks. My siblings didn't believe me because I couldn't recreate it but I'm pretty sure it was accidental cartridge tilting lol

Ice WHAT???!
@@CeaseCrismonBritish word for popsicles
they're called "flimber jurbles"
I passed out during this stream and woke up to a melting NES smoking three blunts. Bæst strim, thank fuck it was more than 20 minutes.
Vimbo is doing obscene things to that pinball cart.
Cool internals. Try adding some ceramic capacitors in series with your resistors, to help control values that normally oscillate or cycle. Also, I'm interested to see what sorts of results you might get by routing individual wires through potentiometers and randomly adjusting the dials while the game is running.
You fockin' wot, mate?
This was a very good stream. I thought the NES was going to be completely destroyed by the end lmao
Shrine fox in the wild!
God, just imagine how mental a Plug and Plague corruption stockpile would be.
when jerma retired, vinny actually absorbed his streaming talent space jam style which is why vinny's doing shit in this stream like putting otter pops both on and inside his nes
He is the last mimzy
There was a period of time before like 2019 where Vinny was bigger than Jerma by over 100k followers. But after the Carnival, Dollhouse, and SUS meme, jerma surpassed him after almost 10 years.
I love how the cartridges just have the boards glued in random positions with a bunch of tape to hold stuff togheter.
That's a lot of old in one video. The console, the games, the controller, Vinny
Why does the corrupted Mario 3 section look like it would be its own creepypasta game with its own creepypasta

We got some new stellar voice acting by Mr. Sauce for some good new animations, get on it you talented animators!
i coruppted a cartridge of "Links Awakening" by using the doghouse glitch too many times.
[if i started a new game, i always got a glitch item on slot 1 and it does nothing but cannot get removed]
Vinny's corruption team has made corruption into a science
The old physical NES corruptions stream was legendary. I'm crying from joy seeing this come back after so many years.
I can't believe Saddam uploaded a digital duplication of his soul and consciousness onto a series of NES tapes.
My old and broken games are no longer useless, now I'll sell them as "corruptions on real hardware"
(I'm joking btw, I know this required actual effort)
Just gotta say that with your HQ mic compared to your cam quality, it looks and sounds like Mario and Luigi are doing a commentary on what they're watching. The audio quality just doesn't match up which makes it that much better, lol.
If Sadaam had a dumpster that was moist, had some static build up from one of his nut socks and maybe a solar flare or two then there could be corruption. I love it.
25:16 reminds me of doing that with my DS cartridges when I was little
"Mom can we have the Real time corruptor?"
"We have the real time corrupter at home"
Actual hardware corruptions seem so different from the usual ones. It's cool to watch and know things are like this because of physical components breaking down.
When I was a kid I took apart my Pokemon Ruby GBA cart so that the back pins were exposed while you were playing, and I discovered that you could run a screwdriver up and down the pins and would get wacky results. Can't remember the extent of the effects, probably was just audio blasting or something, but ever since then I've loved cartridge tilting and physical corruptions like that.
It'd be interesting to try hooking this up to a computer, getting a real-time ROM dump of the game and see what exactly is getting corrupted and where
Vinny receives the cursed NES console from that one flea market.
This now has me wondering about a shared memory my brother and I have of playing Super Mario World and when we got to Bowser he would drop fire across the whole screen instead of in the obvious pattern that he does, so the fight was a guaranteed lost. We just figured there was some hidden secret that had to be found that would enable you to get past that part, like a secret power-up or something. It made sense, the game encouraged exploration. I remember seeing the fight on the early internet at some point later and noticing how simple the pattern seemed. My father won a lot of SNES games and a console at some point, so we actually had like 2 or 3 copies of Mario World eventually and from what I recall my father kept one of the systems and his childhood copy of Mario World, the one that we played first. I recall eventually beating the game as I would play that game a lot growing up and finding that the boss pattern was in fact the way I had seen it online. Eventually I just chalked that up as us being bad at the game at that time, and my skills just improving but this does have me wondering about the concept of interference on these old ROM cartridges. My father has always had a CB radio and antenna setup and he causes interference with other appliances in our house so it almost makes me wonder what would happen if I played an old SNES/NES game while he did a transmission. Would a corruption occur? Maybe that old childhood copy of Super Mario World my father had was damaged in just the right way that the whole game worked except that final fight with Bowser? These are the questions that come to my mind.
Mario Heart Attack 1:22:10
I played a physical SMW game where the foreground is moved to the background, so Mario and enemies are behind hills
I'd agree that it's likely to be heat realted issues that cause these corruptions. The fact that a reset maintains the current corruption and a power cycle doesn't suggests that the system RAM is getting wonky and over time, that would defo suggest heat.
You can easily test this too.
Get a can of air duster, turn it upside down so that the cooled liquid comes out and spray that on the RAM (or other chips one by one) and see hwo the results change.
I use this trick an awful lot in fixing electronics, as it's an easy way to check for such chip issues.
The goofy resistors bridged onto certain pins in the modified cartridges may be changing slightly due to heat - while this is normal and only a tiny difference in an analog system - this tiny amount of variance in the digital signal absolutely wrecks it, so as the signal drift gets worse and worse as the hardware warmps up the corruptions get more zany.
@@Coconut-219 Sorry but that can't be the problem. It manifests across all the carts which suggests the console itself.
@@crunchyfrog555 Drawing more power than was designed from the console through the game cartridge WILL overheat the console and begin doing bad things to the motherboard and its circuits.
@@MrWolfSnack You're still missing the point. You're talking about the few carts that had wonky resistors on. The problem manifested on ALL games. Ergo, it can't be those carts.
I actually work in a small retro game store, and the sheer amount of cartridges that were so fucked up and corrupted that we would get in is insane. And the #1 thing that would cause it was the brass having a patina/corroding. Cleaning it with brasso fixes them. I do love to see the whacky stuff they show off though!
Had a copy of donkey kong country blast a horrific noise out of the speakers of the TV and violently flash once lmao
Watching you play tetris actually accidentally made me better at tetris because of how torturous that first gameplay was
4:02 holy crap its wing gaster
The NES has to be corrupted to do some of the shit the Commodore’s sound chip can do
Mario 3 will forever be engraved in my head as that one game someone made a song about m@sturbation.
WHAT

DRIVING AND I'M SCREAMING
The music at 4:44 got me right off the bat
Loved this, great concept for a video and sweet glitchy carts.
this is a very interesting concept. If the temperature truly determines the level of corruptness I could see the possibility of adding a chip on top of the microchip that acts as a temperature control system where you can vary the temperature with a knob to vary the level of corruptness in real time. maybe set it to a fixed max temperature so it never gets too corrupt
Back in the 90ies we had a posessed Street Fighter 2 Cartridge, after using speed controllers it remembered the "speed combos" even after the special controller broke. It came to the point that even the enemy cpu became unbeatable with regular controllers months later. I've never understood what the hell happened. Did we accidently overwrite the cartdridge at some point? Because it only happened for street fighter 2 so far.
Sounds like your turbo controller burned the cartridge's timing logic. That's rad.
It happened in german with a super nintendo bought at media markt so yeah i believe so. Effing rad
Vinny is getting more and more powerful. Soon he will be able to corrupt reality itself. Then we will all know true fear for Grey Leno will manifest as the new god-emperor of humanity.
someone needs to figure out how to make digital corruptions that give amazing-ness like this.
Hummm nah it’ll never happen honestly.
@@joshshrum2764 normal corruptions run a formula to permanently distort some bits, or alter bits during runtime. Physical corruptions like this cause analog changes and analog swaps - the "formula" gets 'randomly generated' on a physical corruption - the same formula that actively changes bits only as they transfer between ROMs, but this "on rom transfer" event is not doable on an emulator, so it's... I think impossible to even try?
@@dimitar4yI don’t see why one couldn’t (at least in principle) make a model describing how the signals from the cartridge change as a result of these kinds of errors
@@drdca8263 still needs the "comedic timing" for them - an event for when data travels ROM/RAM, which doesn't exist in digital games. :(
Probably the most fun Ive ever seen someone having while playing NES golf
4:48 cool aphex twin song
Final Fantasy XIII is funnily a infamous game with getting damaged. I needed yo go through 3 different disks to finish it LMAO
i always love the more experimental stuff vinny does, its awesome
the combination of resistors, wires and terminals/connectors is just hilarious, I'm pretty sure he's shorting either some data or address pins in a way that sometimes it'll read as a one or a zero, producing said corruptions.
35:34 I love that Vinny can't even get it out without laughing
this is probably due to unexpected data leaking into ram, and it fixes due to resetting ram after power cycling for long enough
