This was not cosmic rays, but actually all four of the Poe sisters manifesting hover boots onto your stream by haunting the cartridge. The more you know!
So let me get this straight: - File 1 no matter what will save a glitch into the name with 1 missingno & Hover Boots equipped upon resetting without actually saving - File 2 is safe no matter what was happening inside or surrounding the file - File 3 will hold a save if it's not glitched, but will not hold a save if it is glitched - If File 1 is "deleted", it must not actually clear and instead overflows causing it to become a DD File, the File Selection screen to not load graphics, but still function. - It seemed the Hover Boots equipped flag was permanently on for File 1 in RAM, and RAM wasn't clearing for that single value for that particular save file.
On the upside, I just watched in my jeep, some guy drove by and told me my headlight was out, I got out, walked over, smacked it and it came back! So it’s not all bad!
A similar thing happened to my cart back in the day when I was playing with a gameshark. Took me a couple years until I was confident with replacing the battery
This was amazing :D It also makes me think how many N64's and OoT Japanese cartridges are out there in the world, to keep speedrunner's able to play the game on different versions.
Okay, so why was Mario all glitchy? That looked like a power supply problem. I wonder if some of the creepypasta stories were based on real things caused by defective cartridges/consoles. There is a rare glitch with the N64 where it'll boot up at half speed which makes OoT's opening sound _extremely_ cursed (and the picture is all scrambled). I've also heard of someone having a "black tunic" GameShark code persist when starting a new file without the GameShark.
My favourite was a Majora's Mask crooked cart savedata corruption where all item slots were turned into bottles and the game was permanently locked into 4th day. Thankfully it was fixed just from deleting the save data.
Can someone tell me why skipping intro for speedruns requires c-upping right away? I'm sure it's a proof of validity thing, but I can't think of anything the different camera angle would show.
When you normally start a new file and finish watching the intro, it starts in the overhead camera perspective. Pressing C-up is just to recreate that.
So obviously I know the old "tilt your cartridge to unlock masterquest" thing, but because i knew better i never did it. I assumed you would just waste your time. I had no idea it was nefarious and would delete your save lol
Honestly, if thats the first time the battery has ever been replaced in that cart, thats kind of amazing they managed to make them so capable back then
That dead battery might have become a load on the power rail of the sram chip causing data to fail to save correctly. That's my theory on what happened. :P
You should have at least done 1 run with the cursed hoverboot save to see how much easier or difficult it would have been until you get to the point of having them legitimately
Probably time to replace the backup battery on that poor cart, lol. Or chip if they used Flash (but I think that was CMOS?). I wonder at what point the console itself needs work, replaced capacitors or the like? Upwards of 30 years is about the time frame for those to start going south. No idea how that would manifest; data errors, graphics glitches, random crashing?
I did in OOTxMM on real hardware, since it's not compatible with ED64+. Link died over and over with his inventory constantly filling with ocarinas in Clock Town.
ZFG: such a master of OOT that he can immediately pivot from scuffed speedrun to forensic investigation.
13:44 Such a master that he even has strats for the title screen of a borked cartridge.
15:38 "There never has been a crack pipe emote" ZFG says as his chat is flooded with crack pipes
(Denial)
Spooons
ZFG after tilting his brain to forget the crack pipe emote
Cursed cartridge is good content for spooky season 🎃
cant wait until world records are only possible with Japanese NTSC 0.9 Pre-Alpha Broken Irradiated carts on an overclocked N64 full of ketchup.
from Low% to bLow[on the cartridge]%
New strats discovered: get an extremely messed up cart and start with hover boots
Ah yes, my favourite creepypasta:

This is the first accidental Halloween video I've ever seen.
I laughed so hard ''Just a normal regular speedrun'' and then seeing him hover run : ')
Can you imagine if having a nearly dead battery was used in speedruns
Hotplate strats
ZFG activated his inner Vinesauce passive.
carne asada, mexican coke and this highlight
NEVER KILL YOURSELF
RAHHHHH
broke the game so many times the cart just gave up
So let me get this straight:
- File 1 no matter what will save a glitch into the name with 1 missingno & Hover Boots equipped upon resetting without actually saving
- File 2 is safe no matter what was happening inside or surrounding the file
- File 3 will hold a save if it's not glitched, but will not hold a save if it is glitched
- If File 1 is "deleted", it must not actually clear and instead overflows causing it to become a DD File, the File Selection screen to not load graphics, but still function.
- It seemed the Hover Boots equipped flag was permanently on for File 1 in RAM, and RAM wasn't clearing for that single value for that particular save file.
Brownouts are always amazing.
ZFG did so many corruptions, they've become sentient and followed him to his N64... We should be scared D:
Those are the kind of highlight videos I subscribed for
Yes its the Hoverboots oh no Stream
"I'll start runs now" video ends
my tab crashed when accessing this page... the curse... it's spreading.
On the upside, I just watched in my jeep, some guy drove by and told me my headlight was out, I got out, walked over, smacked it and it came back! So it’s not all bad!
It's a tangent from normal low% runs but can't complain about the free content.
A similar thing happened to my cart back in the day when I was playing with a gameshark. Took me a couple years until I was confident with replacing the battery
I really wish he would have experimented with the corruption more. I love weird things like this

Definitely most of them were made up, but a lot of them were based on or at least inspired by things that could actually feasibly happen.
only zfg would use a regular soldering iron for a cartridge battery
What should've been used? And what's the difference?
As opposed to what exactly? An enchanted iron?
@@invaliduserist a soldering diamond duh
you're supposed to spot weld those kinds of batteries because solder from a traditional iron can cause them to go bad or leak
The worst sound that you never want to hear in a ZFG run : "HUH?!"
SiIvaGunner has ruined my brain, I cannot hear temple of time bgm without thinking of flintstones
It was just such a high quality rip that it has stuck in your mind
🐸 Frogs Highlights 🐸
That’s it! Thanks for your time my fellow frogs 🐸
Ribit 🐸
My rando streamer couldn't be starting runs.
No livestream of the cart surgery?!
Rip cart. Dying battery?
Oh good! Scary Halloween story time
9:08
HUH? Random honk?
Oh shit lol
The sun isn’t a fan of Low%
Hover boots gave him PTSD PepeHands
Wonder what other weird stuff can happen with a low bat
It would be fun to see a randomizer run on a corrupted file
I'm kinda shocked you haven't stockpiled carts, I guess you have backup Wiis and didn't necessarily expect to need to go back to N64.
Weird issues are always memory and power

This is great for a Halloween spooky

Because back then, things were actually built to last.
@@GuitarHeroRocks99 I'm not built to last....
"Ok time for runs."
We hitting Taco Bell?
Crackpipge
just in time for halloween
That dead battery might have become a load on the power rail of the sram chip causing data to fail to save correctly. That's my theory on what happened. :P
I was hoping he'd do a full run with the cursed save just for the lulz
You should have at least done 1 run with the cursed hoverboot save to see how much easier or difficult it would have been until you get to the point of having them legitimately
This is... Interesting.
The viewer just said no brushing. They didn’t say anything about not using mouthwash or dental flossing
It's not battery. It so CC or corrupted hardware
Hoverboot file
is fascinating.
right in time for halloween
Tilted cart? Tilted ZFG.
3:42 entloetlitze called it
ZFG halloween content
Happy Halloween everyone

BEN DROWNED
Anyone ever got the 30 ocarina glitch in majors mask?
I did in OOTxMM on real hardware, since it's not compatible with ED64+. Link died over and over with his inventory constantly filling with ocarinas in Clock Town.
That's so CC
Was this cartridge an original, authentic one? If so, the SRAM battery might be on its last legs and needs to be replaced.
I love zfg
8:43 - 9:06 sent me 😂
ZFG will you marry me
Only if you promise to help him with his speedruns
Divorce speedrun any%
No dude
Anyway
sorry, he's already married to oot
...Does equiping fake hover boots count as an item in Low%?
I'd say no but I'm not a mod
How popular is the Low%All Dungeons run? Also rip cartridge
I am so confused😮😂😂
Hi twitch chat
...huh?
Spooky
Hello
THERE HE IS
people who don´t know: dumb
