@@PrideEepy64WHAT? I refuse to believe that Parappa the Rapper 2 is 4 years older than me. The graphics really stepped up since UJL’s release 2 years prior.
@@PrideEepy64 I feel really sad that this piece of gaming history isn’t getting more mainstream attention. I really want to do something about it, tbh I know how to animate and code, I might just create a ground-up 2D remake so that it at least looks more appealing to the modern lens.
Since I'm seeing this asked in the comments and I'm in nerd mode right now... 32767 is the signed 16-bit integer limit, the highest number than can be represented in the latter 15 bits (01111111 11111111, the very first bit is the sign: 0 for positive, 1 for negative). If you try to add 1 to this value with this data type, it will overflow to -32768, the lower limit. This also happens on the original Um Jammer Lammy for the PlayStation. Um Jammer Lammy NOW! runs on the Namco System 12 (1996) which spec-wise similar to the original PlayStation but with a faster CPU. Both machines, having 32-bit CPUs, are very clearly capable of working with larger values (evidenced by the final score of 98301) which have much higher limits. The potential reasons that I can think of that they used a smaller data type are [a]: as a design choice possibly to fit on the screen where it does, [b]: the PS1 and System 12 only have 2 MB of RAM and the developers needed to be frugal, [c]: whatever version of GCC they were using defaulted 'int' to a 16-bit value (this was a time before stdint.h), or [d]: the developers were inconsiderate of such a big score being possible. Why they used a signed value rather than unsigned in a place where negative scores aren't possible is beyond me. Using an unsigned value seems to me much more in line with what would probably be possible and I'd put money on it that we'd see something like a 50 000 instead
@@_lun4r_ Games for fifth-generation consoles were usually done in C. On the N64, SM64 and MK64 were both written in C with some C++ components. PS1 games were written similarly; SDKs exist for the PS1 in C, and questions on Reddit and the Game Development Stack Exchange confirm that devs were working with C, though some time or performance critical code would have been done in MIPS assembly. I imagine PTR1 and UJL wouldn't have needed that much ASM considering those games mostly just play prerendered(?) videos and then work with simple 3D scenes. UJL NOW I could see one using more ASM since that's much more featureful on top of limited RAM. You are probably right though about them not using GCC. An N64 developer reported using a custom compiler since GCC 2.x was apparently abysmal, and considering PS1 devs report using C+ASM vs. N64's C+CPP using GCC for the PS1 probably would've been hard. The main point is that however the game was made, that portion of the game used 16 bit values rather than 32 bit, which again considering the capabilities of the CPU strikes me as odd.
What i do is i input the codes Off Beat to the song. It also depends on how you input the codes if there are spaces in the codes. It's kind of difficult to get a hang of but enough practice & you should be getting the Fevers in an Instant
Very good play! Also curious, how did you get into stage 7 on the Easy course? Did you go into the test mode and change the difficulty level from there?
Thank you! I don't see compliments that often on my videos so this is a very much thanks! About that Stage 7 thing, I've heard some guy in the UJL NOW! Discord say that if you score a certian amount of points on a course, the final round will be Stage 7 instead of the one that's supposed to be the last.
Strange new thing for me to learn, but interesting to say the least! And so happy Parappa managed to squeeze in his trademark catchphrase x3 "That's right! We gotta believe!"
Don't thank me, thank the people who made this a possibility: Eric Yockey, Johnathan Ross & Phil Bennett. Johnathan Ross for buying the machine on Ebay back in 2007 and still kept it to this day.

I love how Joe Chin goes all out on presentation and yet calls this a so-so game. It's like he believes in the experience he can help create, or maybe he's more of a fan than he lets on.
Dude, 32767 is a terrifying number now. That’s exactly the maximum number of kilos of icecream a person can buy at the cash register at my job. That’s EXACTLY the highest possible number you can input to the Point of Sale system. Now it’s in the title of this video, wtf.
It's similar to 255, because both of these numbers are limits of a power of two minus one. In 32767's case, it's 2^15 - 1, also 65535 as 2^16 - 1 also exists as an upper cap.
It's a very good strategy if you wanna grind points in Fever Mode. If you spam the buttons you activated fever mode on to the BMP of the song, you'll get about 2000 points each turn.

They definitely didn't use GCC. Most of the old games were created using assembly code.

@@tschammo okay so i went too old, however the point stands for not using GCC, as GCC was kinda garbage for console game development in the late 90s

NO PARAPPA YOU CAN'T SAY THAT WORD THAT'S RACIST
It technically is saying "digging", not the N-word.
Obviously, I was making a joke.
how do you manage to put in the fever codes so effortlessly thats still a thing i struggle with 😔😔 amazing plays and video

How Can I Enter Fever Mode Like That?
