so with no additional data, no additional graphics, just the data fed to the stock SNES with a copy of Super Mario World in the cart slot using a controller, they programmed and started a fully functional version of Super Mario Bros 1??
The mind boggles.

I'm so happy they were actually able to do it this yeah. Disappointed it desynched after, though.

Exactly. I don't know how they coded it within the game, but I don't care, because that was amazing,

Seriously my god, how do you top that? Playable Pokemon in Super Mario World?
Next year they'll make SMW run Mario 64.

So that thing is going to play Pokemon Red and basically fuck it up and beat it in 50 seconds, right?
Yeah, but it can't turn a shitty thread into a fully functional Super Mario Bros. Stay free.

TASbot needs more time, the SMB1 thing was awesome but then they had to turn it off

How is this even possible?? LOL.
How did the SMB graphics make it into the game??

Pretty sure that's possible without TAS'ing it

The "make a thing run a game" heirarchy goes from Snake -> SMB 1-1 -> Doom 1, right?
Guess we know what next year will be.

Yep, its probably going to be that wrongwarp glitch. Unless they've found something insane like the SMW shit they've been doing.

There's already batshit crazy things you can do as a player like Werster/other runners have shown, I can't even imagine what a TAS of the game is going to become. After seeing that SMB in SMB World I can't even begin to imagine what they are going to do.

Good thing we gave MKWii 40 minutes and let him break the stream

I think it put so many active objects behaving in the same level at once that the spriteset overloaded and the hack wiped it and replaced it with SMB1.

Went away for a minute and when I came back the chat was going on about John Cena of all people. Did I miss something?

They literally coded it all manually into the RAM with controller inputs.

some lunatic made Quake run on an oscilloscope so basically everything is crazy and nothing makes sense

Here's Pokemon Red.
Data and code are both represented by 0s and 1s in memory so when you are rewriting it with input you can actually inject graphics, sounds, etc.

yeah that makes sense.
all of SMB 1 is basically just very simple tiles using palettes. The sound for Super Mario All Stars just references sound samples from the sound chip most likely.
They could probably re-create any simple NROM NES/Famicom game in this way. It could boot into wrecking crew or Ice Climbers if a romhacked version for SNES existed.
