    For people wondering why a lot of these glitches start at level 256, 255 is the highest 8-bit integer, which is (2^8)-1. 256 is the first 9-bit integer, and it requires an extra bit the game doesn't have.

    Fun fact: while it is indeed impossible to beat level 256 in Pac-Man, if you somehow managed to beat level 256, it’ll return you in level 1, and the code of the fruit will restart, causing the game to revert back to normal

      Depending of mame version, Press F1 or turn on and then OFF the "rack test" dip switch. Game restart on level 1 with cherrie fruit bonus. But sifficult don0t restart and gosth continues non edible.
      This works too on an arcade board using the "rack test" dip switch,

    Technically the Jr. Pacman "softlock" isn't a true softlock, as you are still able to die. It would only be a true softlock if getting a game over put you back into the glitched level. It's much like the classic sonic games in that, even though the scenario would normally be a softlock, there's still something in play that lets you continue playing without needing to turn off the game. In Sonic, that's the time limit (unless you're playing Sonic 2 in Origins, where it can very rarely softlock you in Sky Chase, but those situations are few and far between as far as classic Sonic goes). In Jr. Pacman, it's the ghosts killing you - albeit you'd need to game over to keep playing, and even then you'd have to start over from level 1 to escape the "softlock".

      People are regularly making it well into the 30s and on, to the point where competitive Tetris normally uses a patched version of the game that doubles the piece speed over the 29-38 speed once you reach 39.
      That said, starting in the late 150s score calculation can take so long the game crashes, though these are theoretically avoidable.

    4:09 at this part, I know the killscreen for the 1st time. Because level 256 is counted as 0. And 0 is lower than 7, the game try to draw 256 items until half of the maze becoming messed
    The code is [1, 0]. Begins at cherry, 1st fruit. Ended at 0 (256th item)

      NES Tetris has an intended killscreen at level 29, but if you are good enough you can go up to 255, where after beating it it rolls back to 0. Also there's a high chance the game can crash on later levels.

      256 is the 8 bit integer limit (0 to 255), once the game gets to 256 it overflows back to 0, thats why galaga shows "level 0"

    Why do they like the number 256 so much

    • @o-kapo
      @o-kapo 4 месяца назад

      256 is the biggest number retro arcade games can hold.
      to be more specific: computers count using binary, and most retro games only have eight bits. (or digits)
      the way it turns into decimal numbers (or normal numbers) is complicated so i’ll kinda gloss over it and instead use an example:
      0 to 4 in binary is 0, 1, 10, 11 and 100. it’s the same as decimal, except you only have two bits, namely 0 and 1, instead of ten digits. when you reach all ones, add another bit to count higher.
      with eight bits, the biggest number possible is 11111111, which translates to 255 in decimal. then, you can turn it into 256 by counting 0 as another number.
      ultimately, the reason why the arcades like 256 so much is because in the arcade world, 256 is literally the last number. it would be like asking a human what comes after infinity.
      (sorry if this comment is too long)

      it doesn't have a killscreen, it just gets faster, the color of the pieces glitch and the game can crash by doing certain actions, but it can still be played. after reaching level 256, the game will reset to level 1. therefore, there is no killscreen because you can theoretically play forever
