    Installing a clone CPU into a Famicom is like the digital equivalent of a lobotomy

    6:00 underworld doesn't use the noise channel. It sounds like the channel gets stuck in certain instances and doesn't decay properly.

    4:37 I have a hard time believing that all that madness was because of one faulty chip.
    But...that's exactly what it is. Funny how that works, one bad chip and the whole system goes haywire.

    • @chainswordcs
      @chainswordcs 6 місяців тому +3

      well it's the CPU, which is the main chip running the system. if just the sound or video hardware were failing, the core game logic and other parts are generally fine. but if the CPU is failing, it may be sending bad data / instructions to the graphics or sound hardware

    Mmm. The Mario one reminds me of Vinesauce Corruptions. The older ones, before it was mostly just modded to make people laugh.
    Also love that violently sudden ending.

    The SMB corrupted madness that starts at 4:37 is glorious.

  • @mustacheman529

    I know almost nothing about technical things, so my main takeaway from this video is that there's a really cool SNES version of the Zelda 2 title screen theme.
    And that Mario 1 can get extremely cursed.

    4:40 I am reminded of the Castle Prospernia from Castlevania Bloodlines.
    Except for the part where it blocks elements from view rather than shifting to the right.

    There's an odd, kinda creepy vibe to the graphics test
    Especially when they show the nintendo hotline. That font is just genuinely unsettling
    ALSO
    Why is the test music Zelda 2?

    • @invalid_user_handle
      @invalid_user_handle 6 місяців тому +3

      Probably because Nintendo was lazy and didn't feel like composing any new music for an internal burn-in test. Other revisions of the test apparently use different music, although I can't remember what exactly.

    • @MirrorHall_Clay
      @MirrorHall_Clay 6 місяців тому +3

      ​@@invalid_user_handletbf, you don't need to compose new music for it
      It's a _test,_ not a game, anything that uses all the sound channels in some capacity would be good for it

    • @subparlario4916
      @subparlario4916 6 місяців тому +1

      ​@@invalid_user_handle There’s a different SNES Test Cart that uses "When You Wish Upon a Star" from Disney's Pinocchio as its background music.

    The PAL SNES seems to be having issues with (H)DMA. Based on the footage, it _always_ crashes when it has to do masking effects, like the circle fade-in for SMW or ALttP.

  • @TheGameboyNerd23
    @TheGameboyNerd23 3 місяці тому

    The only hardware faults I’ve really had were with my good ol gameboy pocket and also my good ol super Mario land, basically sometimes my super Mario land just tweaks out for no reason (one time boss music just randomly started playing on world 1-1, and started loading level bits from other levels, and also the title screen tweaked out for no reason one time) and with the gameboy pocket the sound just completely died, I’ve tried cleaning it I’ve tried adding a new speaker, I’ve tried replacing the caps, nothing worked, I even removed the headphone jack because it can get corroded and think there is headphones plugged into it, so either the cpu or sound chip is dying or is dead

  • @whomdunit2457

    Wait, what was that intro? Does the SNES have like... a built-in graphics test or something? Or is that like... a separate cartridge?

    • @Skawo
      @Skawo  6 місяців тому +19

      It is a specific cartridge - it was used in the Nintendo repair centers back in the nineties.
