  • simple oversight in the programming of the romhack he was playing on where there was a clear carry command missing. this was not caught until the world record reached 8 million as it was the first time the top bit of the millions place was set.

    1:26 small note: there are actually 4 bytes of binary score stored in total, so the score will glitch out again at 4.29 billion

      @@Random1785YT It would actually be completely impossible even with the most insane RNG imaginable that would somehow allow someone to clear all lines with only tetrises. After around 150 you need to avoid tetrises and specific line clears to avoid crashing if you intended to go for a reset (based on your score I believe. Weird BCD math is involved). According to a TAS run that got to 255 with only tetrises using a hack to cap out the tetris points to avoid a crash, the maximum possible score is 151,413,717 if that hack hadn't been used. At 256, the game resets, thus resetting the score as well.

      I propose a new category:
      Crash combination.
      Combined high score for multiple consecutive runs that cause a crash.
      For example, if you can crash the game on 4 consecutive plays, you can add up all 4 scores.

    Cliffnotes: while the player is between 8 & 10 million points, the display counter erroneously shows an additional 100,000 points.
    So I guess that means whenever someone breezes past the 10 million mark, the display will go back to being correct.

    Watched this at normal speed. Got nothing. Watched it at 0.75x, paused several times, went back 5 seconds a few times to try and understand a few words that I could not understand the first time, got it and loved it. Maybe talk a little bit slower next time? 😁 Thanks a lot for the video!

    Here's a thought.
    What if someone makes a ROM hack that has a counter that works perfectly, and shows 8 digits of numbers. :O

    • @hydrantdude3642
      @hydrantdude3642  11 месяцев назад +1

      ok so there's a funny problem with 8 digits, we actually don't have any more room on the screen to put more than 7 digits without getting rid of the borders around screen elements or moving them. people's streaming layouts are pretty much all based around the 6 digit display so nobody wants to switch to having more digits.

    • @AkumaAPN
      @AkumaAPN 11 месяцев назад +1

      @hydrantdude3642
      Maybe we revert back to 6 digits, numbers only, plus a silly little 2-digit 2nd window below, that says "+ xx M"
      Such as "643,820" &
      " +08 M "
      And the player can see
      8,643,820 pretty clearly without having to "do math" while trying to play one of the hardest games ever. XD

    • @AkumaAPN
      @AkumaAPN 11 месяцев назад +2

      Then again, with 7 digits, we can also use 6 digits of numbers, plus 1 hex digit in the 7th position.
      That gets us up to 16 Million without a 0000000 counter reset, almost double the current world record. And no "doing math"

      it's been adjusted. for a brief period we thought his score was 9 million but it was 8.9. a pull request is a correction to a piece of code on github.
