ITS MICKEY! THE MOUSE! MICKEY! THE MOUSE! HE IS, HE IS! HIDING IN MY HOUSE!

Imagine pirating golf

"please refer to your booklet" if it's a pirate copy, I doubt they would have one to begin with lol

"Piracy is a serious crime." *Link in the Description to try it yourself!*

This stuff is ALWAYS so unsettling! Like actually puts me on edge just seeing a big sign in my Nintendo game saying "no no no, this game is pirated!."

When you watch so many anti-piracy screens you find an actual one

SNES sounds are so weird when trying to record them

DOOM's Ultra-Nightmare difficulty in a nutshell.

These can even be triggered on legitimate hardware and cartridges without a cheat device. I know; I had this happen to me a few times with one I bought brand new back when this game had come out. Here's how it works. It is the simple slightly unaligned pins glitch. We've all done this, whether on purpose or not or even completely unaware of it. All these checksum codes can be run/triggered if the pins are unaligned. I'd ran into a glitch one time that executed a trigger that made the shot count not go up so every clear was a hole-in-one, with this unaligned pin thing. It's just one of those things that the SNES and the Mega Drive/Genesis were well-known for.

Iwata was the man. Reggie's speech about how he could basically see the future in that in his mind he hears all the questions and complaints before a game is even released, stuff like this that he takes into account is what he was talking about.

Well now that the anti-piracy trend is really taking off, I bet a whole bunch of people are gonna start thinking this video's fake. But this is one of my favorite anti-piracy examples in gaming history.

That's my boy, HAL Labs! Give us all graphical nightmares! XD

Other games just crashes the game and makes it unable to open, This one just bullies you.

2:52 When Kirby disappeared, one of the trees got eyes

Everyone else: talking about the anti-piracy Me: Somebody's probably gonna make a rom hack that replaces the star in the game over screen for selecting game end with a steamroller.

Casually shows off with 4 holes in one Hole in one's? Whatever.

Finally time to see some ACTUAL anti-piracy screens again!

It says "all your save data will be erased." Intentionally, *Unable to save file because checksum fails.*

Piracy is no party, I suppose

What if you hack to the final boss and beat it?

2:53 lol this has creepypasta potential

Those 2 Games have like the Denuvo of the SNES.

I wonder how much of that had to be worked around in order to make Grumps Dream Course, or if it was even an issue at that point.

is anyone else getting recommended a surprisingly high amount of nintendo anti-piracy videos?

This video before "(xxx) was personalized" or "SMP DS Anti-Piracy" how cute

Hand:"It's not waking up... Hmmmm, I know! I can wake it up with my B I G M A S S I V E S T A R" 2:00

Steam Anti-Piracy. ... humm... that depend of the game. but if you manage to pass the Steam Anti-Piracy. you have to pass the next one if there is one.

This game’s noises are relaxing apparently

2:46 Scared the crap out of me

"You wouldn't download a car!" - HAL Laboratory

omg your channel icon thingy that appears in the video is using the shaded "unused graphics" icon from TCRF that I made a few years ago! thats cool.

I love it when game developers do stuff like this.

I love the way that theres non scary nintendo anti piracy screens, a wee bit scarier like this and then theres oddesey

Kirby: * sleeps * player: * throws his star into him* Kirby: * continues to sleep *

I thought this was a bug in Older ZSNES versions. Worked fine in the later ones.

This video is incredibly ominous. The game *knows.*

Who would ever think of pirating this game though?

The perfectionist run

"Game will become virtually impossible to play" *HOLE* *IN* *ONE*

It's so weird seeing one of these that's real

this man was ahead of his time

Better than the creepy sonic CD anti piracy sceen...

Pretty interesting! You don't see this kind of thing in games this old

Kirby Dream Course Piracy Difficulty: Shyguymask (YT): wow an challenge! thats my favourite game!

Oh, now I get why my copy of the game was so weird

tilt the cart to get game freeze

_This reminded me in my time I had a computer as a kid, with the XP version of Windows. My father downloaded the games and had an emulator to play with. I was unaware that this was an antipiracy feature, and thought the game was broken._

I used to have a very old version of ZSnes back in 2003 and it triggered the High Difficulty and the softlock at the end of the course.

Thank you h2643, very cool!

I love how all these games have anti piracy methods yet most of us just emulate them with little to no problems

Excellent video! :D

my uncle had this happen with a legit cart. some guy modified it at the store

Looks less like a test. Either of protection measures or of how far the pirates will go to break them.

At 2:46 Nintendo used Nightmare Engine. It's a corruption engine which generates garbage data and imports it to the game in order for it to crash. That is why it glitched, the garbage data crashed the game. Really smart, in my opinion.

It makes more sense when you know that this and Earthbound were developed with essentially the same game engine.

That scared me quite a bit.

Has anyone tried to override Nintendo's anti-pirary programming?

That happened in older emulators, too. Now you can play the entire game.

Kirby's Dream Course: Hardcore Mode. This is just enticing me.

I remember watching this video years ago.

So it's a demo, just with extra steps. Those madlads.

Man, having the only thing you can't get footage of being the two player mode hits close to home.

2:56 - That yellow background thing looks like the beginning of the partial TAT "Cheesy Star" logo.

If Kirby asks, "can you buy a illegal copy of something?" I'm stealing it, wich is even MORE illegal

Why I don’t play Kirby dream course with a emulator

the star crushing kirby though....

This worries me! What if I have my copy modded to have a FRAM chip, which should eliminate the need for a save battery?

Nintendo: you copied my game 😠😠😠 GOG: i gonna pretend i didn't see that

Man this so creepy in some parts but overall pretty cool and interesting

They also might have worked on Earthbound and that game's notorious for Anti-piracy measures

It says to look inside your game instruction book. But if you have a bootleg copy, you likely don't have a game instruction book

Those screen are the same in Earthbound.

That's insane

*welcome to challenge mode*

The trees at the end OO o

The second one should have a prompt to press A to advance to the title screen.

Did anyone think of Monster Party’s first level when they saw the trees in the thumbnail?

That ending one reminds me of a glitch with Kirby Super star.

The quiet before the storm

this reminds me of earthbound's anti-piracy system a bit

But what if you corrupt the checksum of the checksum

But how does that checksum works. I know it’s possible that the game checks the sram to check if it matches the 8k capacity. And it may also uses a timer to check out how fast code is executed to find out if it matches it’s own region speed or not. About the 50/60hz detection, not only does the game’s lockout chip talk with the console’s builtin lockout chip but it also talks with the rom itself and tell it wich region lockout chip was detected inside the snes ,sothat the rom will find out if it matches it or not,if the game’s lockout chip detects no lockout chip inside the snes, it simply cannot tell the rom wich lockout chip was detected and so the rom will refuse itself to load it’s content anyway. But with the powerpak cyclone chip,whatever you run it on a ntsc or pal snes via the t slot sothat it can no longer detect a lockout chip, so if the cyclone lockout chip detects no lockout chip inside the snes, it assumes that you using a ntsc snes,then the cyclone chip will tell the rom that it is a ntsc snes, even if you run it via t slot on pal snes, the ntsc game will then just boot up,albeit slower and/ or glitchy.

it is good to have anti piracy measures

That is absolutely fucking brutal.

BRO THEY LITTERALY MURDERED KIRBY!

Is there any protection against changing the checksum?

Let me guess... EVERY COPY OF KIRBY'S DREAM COURSE IS PERSONALIZED

So a challenge I see

The Cutting Room Floor's page on this game appears identical in text. 👀

The game basically becomes a demo!

This video spooks the shit out of me.

I am genually *scared*

Plundering golf

This game freaked me out as is

if you could bypass the course clear crash this could be an epic hardcore mode

With the Iceberg mario 64 meme, I actually thought this was fake
