Submission Text Full Submission Page

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: Dolphin 3.0-378 more-save-fixes
  • Starts from saved state or SRAM.
  • Reaches credits early.
  • Gets the best ending.
  • Overflows buffers.
  • Yo dawg, i herd you liked emulators so i put an emulator in your emulator, so you can emulate while you emulate.

Comments

This run uses a simple buffer overflow exploit. It uses a save file, which can be found here that has been edited to replace Epona's name with a short program. When Epona's name is read from the save file, the game crashes, and executes this program, which will load boot.dol from the wii's sd card. In this case, boot.dol is the wii port of snes9x, which can be found here. Once snes9x gx is loaded, i simply select Kirby's Avalanche, and hold right+L on controller 1, and left+R on controller two, which will instantly trigger the credits of Kirby's Avalanche.
NitroGenesis: Astounding. All the no votes prove the viewers love it. Accepting for publication. Changed game name, now this April Fool's submission can have dignity.
Nach: At the author's request, replacing the submission file with a faster one.
Nach: This is a well known exploit. Nothing technically is being done with TAS tools here. It's cute, but just demonstrating exploitation of a glitch on its own is not publish worthy. Rejecting.

It still says March 31st on my calendar >_> Regardless, this gets a yes vote for actually doing something creative with an April Fool's submission! The Kirby ending was a nice touch.

If someone writes the software to do so, it'll almost certainly sync on a wii.

This needs to be published. Though we might want to wait to make publication encodes until the graphical problems with the ending are fixed. "Kirby is the Avalanch"? Nice early April Fool's joke.

As much as I loved this run, I must urge you to focus more on your non-glitched GameCube version run. Be brave and I know you will make an honourable run. P.S. I voted yes.

The standards for being an Avalanche Master have dropped lately, it seems. I guess everyone in Dreamland is really shy. :D
I will not use self-reference in my signature.

Great run! In fact, it's so good that I think it should obsolete an entirely different Zelda TAS: #3474: SwordlessLink's N64 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "All Dungeons, Temples & Ganon Trials" in 2:04:45.22 While I have no idea what you did, at least I can read the ending.

Sorry, gonna have to vote "No". You can activate the ELF loader faster by rolling backwards instead of talking to the guy in front of you.
