Same thing happened to Deltarune - and Deltarune was even at SGDQ 2019.

The best part is that the Nvidia boot ROM flaw means that cheaters can cheat if they want to, regardless of how Nintendo locks down their save files.

No, Japan’s power outlets are different. American power outlets are 120V, and Japan is 100V. The US and Canada use 60 Hz everywhere. Japan has two separate electric grids, one 50 Hz and one 60 Hz. Naturally, Japanese consumer goods use power adaptors that work with both 50 and 60.

The Switch dock is powered by USB-C, not a direct power connection, and USB-C is the same everywhere. Just use your existing American Switch power adaptor.

The NES sequel was Solomon’s Key 2, released in Japan, Europe and North America. In North America, it was released under a different name: Fire ‘n’ Ice.

Note that the bug is in the Horizon operating system, not Pokemon Sword/Shield itself.  While the initial crash could be Sword/Shield’s fault, it’s still the operating system’s responsibility to not corrupt filesystems regardless of what applications like games do.  Not only that, the SDMMC driver and exFAT filesystem…

Once a weird glitch is found, it’s a matter of reverse engineering the game’s programming to figure out why it happens, then searching for applications of the glitch.

What’s silly is that hackers already have the game.

“A wire soldered between two points on the board would also be a sign it’s been messed with, since you don’t see this on untouched boards.”

Meowser!

It’s incredible that the human record is only a second and a half slower than the tool-assisted speedrun optimizing every frame.

It makes sense for this list to be available to PR people among the exhibiting companies, so that they can invite press to whatever.  That it wasn’t restricted to them was the problem.

Breath of Fire 2 made me question all religion. I wasn’t raised to go to church, but it always seemed like church was treated as a “good thing” in this society. The game made me think about cult mentality and how religious leaders can manipulate their flock. I suppose that I went from agnostic to atheist as a result…

Even if the consoles’ patents haven’t run out, if you have the source code, in many cases it might be less effort to get the code running on a modern system (i.e. port it) rather than emulating the old console.

Not just emulated games.  Even if the game being streamed is entirely legal, copyright - at least under American law - considers public performance to be an exclusive right of the copyright holder.

It’s the randomizer itself that is legally questionable, as it must either be played on an emulator with a ROM or on a flash cart.

That’s because the current régime *wants* to repeat them.

Why you think the ‘Net was born?  Porn, porn, porn!

That’s rather dangerous to allow, because save files can easily be hacked using a PC—and not because of cheating. In a game as complex as Civilization, there are likely bugs in the game that can cause memory corruption, and possibly lead to arbitrary code execution. It could result in a new way to hack Switch systems.

The Japanese government ought to announce these a year in advance. In the modern era, computer operating systems are difficult to update, and a month is just not enough. Microsoft has to scramble in order to pull it off. Imagine how worse this will be after 20 more years of technology.
