Displaced Gamers

Super nerdy YouTube videos about gaming, computers, and more.

@jeffqchen Which means you have infinitely more to give!

Ok. Back at it after a week away.

Belt 3 of 3 in place for tape counter.
The ejection dampening cylinder… thing fell out while working on it a couple of weeks ago. Had to unscrew the mech and get it back into place without the belts slipping off the pulleys. Whew.

[Displaced Gamers @DisplacedGamers]

Alright. Well…

[Displaced Gamers @DisplacedGamers]

Go smell a bookstore.

I think I found three off-by-one bugs in the game I am investigating, and that’s super exciting.

Because code.

Finding bugs and fixing them is more fun than writing code and making them.
There. I said it.

[Displaced Gamers @DisplacedGamers]

@jeffqchen No. One belt remains.

[Displaced Gamers @DisplacedGamers]

Alright. Well…

“Change the belts on your cassette deck,” they said.
“It’ll be easy,” they said.

@JDURGIT Not gonna lie - I dropped a screw in there somewhere about 12 steps ago.

@Samatyorkshire Yep. Sony TC-K51

I joined Ron of Ron's Computer Videos to talk about Big Box PC Games. Just a fun, casual conversation about collecting games with a bit of story telling. Give it a watch!

@Derek_Rumpler Maybe? I've kept copying the same thumbnail image file and then modifying it for the thumbnail (keep the fonts in the same place and all that). I have done that for a few years now. Maybe I will start from scratch for the next one I make. Ha

[Displaced Gamers @DisplacedGamers]

Also - I have no idea why my final fantasy video post has a little star with “made with ai” on x. That’s funny.

[Displaced Gamers @DisplacedGamers]

@GyllenDrage I'll ask myself that question when I look in the mirror after waking up tomorrow.

If I start crying... uhh... I'll get back to you.

Ever wonder how Final Fantasy gets the numbers you see during battle? How do your stats contribute to physical attacks? Are there any bugs in the game? (spoilers: uhh... yeah)

Behind the Code has finally reached Final Fantasy. Enjoy.

Less than eight hours away from the next video. You might just say that this is the Final countdown.

Found an error with the 2nd Wily skull in Mega Man II, that appears on Dr. Wily's Castle. While I was porting everything over to the SNES, I noticed the left eye of the skull was missing a portion of it's yellow eye. I then discovered that the developers had the tile id going to the wrong OAM buffer address for it to be displayed. I sniffed around the Cutting Room Floor to see if this has been already discovered, and it hasn't. Hurray for me!🙂

ROM address $35AC9 in both Mega Man 2 & Rockman 2, has STA $02F5 (8DF502), when it should be STA $02E5 (8DE502). Check out the image below to see. 🙂

I did a speedrun of Glass Joe on the newly discovered prototype of Punch Out! It doesn't play any audio though, so I ended up doing a complete restoration of the audio using very advanced tech.

Please hear the tech you won't regret the tech.
