Hey man, I've been a huge fan of you and your channel for years now, I always have been a silent watcher of your content ever since early on during the Happy Video Game Nerd. Though there is something that I've been wondering for a while now, and I just would like some closure on. Do you ever see a "Starship Amazing" reunion? A new album, or some single. Ever since you guys announced that 20XX was going to be the band's final release for a while I've been waiting for any sign of a comeback. I still listen to Ya'll Stop Bloggin, Scoops, and Ruby Dagger practically daily and just kinda miss those good vibe sounds that you guys used to make. Anyways, I'll still always love ya!

This whole plan was quite an odyssey and it was pure ambrosia when I pulled it off. :)

There’s a reason you can’t save high scores: the emulator was made to run entirely in RAM without the eReader inserted, since it was written for Animal Crossing to download to your GBA without anything inserted into the cartridge slot. This is why you can remove the eReader entirely after starting an NES game and it will continue running fine. If it tried to save high-scores then it would have to maintain access to cartridge resources and would crash. You can actually abuse this to copy the same NES game from console to console and keep them until the batteries die (sleep *is* supported!). :) Though the eReader can save programs you scan into it, I’m pretty sure that none of those can read/write to storage on the eReader itself once executed. They can only access a resource library of fonts and sound effects and stuff built-in to the eReader’s ROM. That’s the reason you can’t actually put Doom on it. It’s not about fitting Doom onto cards, it’s about fitting Doom into RAM. When you load a saved eReader program it loads entirely into RAM. The reason native games look as rich as they do is because they can access resources from the eReader’s ROM, which contains a library of stuff like sound effects, fonts, shapes, etc. That’s also why they crash when you remove the eReader despite the saved code itself fitting entirely into RAM. Back to the NES games thing: Though it may seem that the games in the Classic NES Series GBA games were updated to properly save high scores, this is actually a dirty emulator hack that was really poorly implemented. It is basically a save state that auto-loads at boot and then resets your game. A save state is a total RAM dump that would normally save everything right down to your exact position in the game, even mid-jump, but auto-triggering an emulated Reset hides that. The original games very deliberately did not reinitialize all memory after a reset, usually so that they could temporarily preserve your high score that you were expected to lose when you powered off anyway, but that isn’t the only thing they fail to reinitialize. For example, if you beat Super Mario Bros the game gets harder. If you save your final score, it also saves that you beat the game. As a result, it stays stuck in hard mode and you’ll never see a Goomba again until you wipe your hi-score. After saving a hi-score and cycling power you can also use the continue trick (hold A and press Start) to pick up from the last world you played. I used this trick to jump straight to the minus world whenever I wanted. Of course, saving the hi-score could mess with that but it’s essentially broken anyway since you won’t want to save after beating the game. Also, notice that the updated emulator used with Classic NES Series GBA games no longer continue running when you remove the game pak. It needs access to storage on the cart for this function, so it crashes. There is a 2p function built into the emulator which will copy it in RAM to a second GBA but the second GBA will be extremely lagged so Nintendo downplayed this function, even going so far as to cover up parts of the boxes with little stickers where it is mentioned. I find it odd that you picked a Pokémon game to point it how unwieldy it is to require a second GBA. As you said, a huge part of that game is trading and battling between multiple handhelds, so it’s easier to find someone to arrange all that. It would have been much better to point out how cumbersome that would be for SMB3e. Yes, the GB Micro requires a link port adapter if you want to use those functions, but then you just say that it fits/works for the DS lite, which has no link port or adapter. It works just as well for the Micro without the link port adapter, and not every use of the eReader requires it (remember: original model didn’t even have that). It’s a little confusing to say that the eReader is “region-free” but the cards aren’t. In reality, it’s the GBA that’s region-free which allows a Japanese or North American-region eReader to work. The Japan or North American eReader is what enforces the region for whatever cards you swipe, so it’s definitely misleading to say that it’s “region-free” just because a region-less GBA will allow it to run.

You can also print your own dotcodes if your printer is high enough resolution and you use paper that doesn't cause your ink to bleed too much. You can find dumps of the dotcodes from various cards, or package any NES ROM (that doesn't need saves and uses a mapper that the eReader's NES emulator supports) into a series of dotcodes. I remember having success with it using a Lexmark inkjet that came for free with a computer. I think it was 600 DPI and worked best printing them on photo paper.

If you watch a any% glitched speedrun of the original Pokemon games they literally change values in memory using an exploit called item underflow, I'm not sure if or how those changes would be saved. Pokemon games have relatively large storages for save data so it could have been stored in there with some special load flags. Most likely though the ROM wasn't truly read only and they somehow altered the memory (RAM) values (like a gameshark) to access the main storage. ROM and RAM as we tend to think of them are misnomers, Any solid state memory is actually RAM (Random Access Memory) but if it's used for permanent or semi-permanent storage is often called ROM (Read Only Memory). As I typed that I also remembered eePROM (electronically erasable Read Only Memory) which is normally read only but can be changed when an electrical current is supplied to one of the leads. Most game cartridges used mass produced components so the data that makes it a certain game is written to a common chip. In older cartridges you'd sometimes see games with special chips added to them but that practice is mostly gone now (can't remember if it was this channel or not but there was one DS game that had a bluetooth adapter built in and that's the newest example I've read about).

Having the e-reader keep high scores is actually a very big ask. Keep in mind, you’re swiping the code from the rom into memory with all those code swipes. The rom itself doesn’t know how to do anything it didn’t already do. You’re asking for a virtual battery to be programmed into the rom and then loaded onto the e-reader alongside the game files so it can write to a partition of the e-readers memory. That’s more programming to make each game, more cards for each game and a different hardware setup for the e-reader device... all go temporarily save high scores. Probably not worth it.

Just to clarify, NordVPN isn't going to protect you from litigation in the first place. Yes it will hide you, but let's be honest, intellectual property owners are not going to come after people who download their IPs. They will come after the distributors instead. If you are considering buying NordVPN for the sole reason of hiding yourself as you download roms and stuff, then don't. They aren't going to come for you. Don't worry about it. If you look at the recent news regarding this, Nintendo went after LoveROMS. They were seeking control of their domain names (to shut down the service), the sources of where they got their ROMs, and monetary compensation for statutory damages and trademark violations. They didn't ask for who downloaded their ROMs from them. They simply don't care about that. Now if all the distributors disappear, I might start to worry, but until that happens, don't worry about it. Save some money, don't buy NordVPN just to protect yourself from piracy stuff. The only industry that ever goes after the end user/downloads are the folks in the porn industry.

@dhkatz_5 жыл бұрын
ISPs aren't the ones threatening, it's the production companies of movies and shows. When you torrent a movie or TV show, everyone can see the IP you are using to seed/leech. ISPs often join the torrenting just to get a list of all the IPs and then report them to ISPs. The ISPs don't care, they are just complying. Keep in mind, this only happens for movies and shows. Any other industry isn't really going to do anything.

One interesting thing to note is that the e-reader logo is a pokeball! Originally, the e-reader was just going to be for Pokemon games and would be used for mystery gifts and unlocking mini games and pokedex entries from trading cards. While these functions all saw the light of day, the system was expanded to other functions by the time it was released.

I've loved all of your episodes of "Punching Weight" but I actually felt a much more personal connection to this one compared to the others, Derek. Mostly because I actually own an e-Reader. Granted, I mostly got it for the Mario Party-e board game (which I'm delighted you covered on this!) and also the extra levels for "Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advance 4" (which I'm glad Nintendo saw fit to include them in the Wii U re-release, because I've never played a lot of those levels and I really love them!). Also, I had no idea there were e-Reader levels for "Mario vs. Donkey Kong", because I really love that game! Damn shame we didn't get those extra levels in the Wii U re-release... Oh well. Also, I have to say that I'm really loving Grace's off-camera comments. She's really funny, and I can't wait to see her do more stuff on this channel too, because I enjoy her insight as well. Keep up the brilliant work, you 2!

As a filthy European who only knew of the eReader from hearsay this rundown was pretty interesting. Great video. Unrelated to the eReader, but the Battle Network games actually were rereleased on Wii U with bonus features similar to Super Mario Advance 4. Since BN2 and onwards had unlockable battle chips from playing multiplayer and since that obviously doesn’t work on Wii U, the absolute legends of emulation, M2, added a patch that lets you access these MP-exclusive chips and allowing 100% completion on all games. I thought that was a pretty neat thing personally, maybe you didn‘t know!

I remember wanting an e-Reader as a kid because it could play NES games but, just like the Tiger R-Zone (which I legit wanted as a kid), my mom said no. A small part of me still wants one because one of the old Pokémon cards I own is from the e-Reader series and I want to see what it does. As for the NES games, I own all of them (with the exception of "everyone's favorite" Urban Champion) in some form or another which is the main reason why I haven't bought an e-Reader despite how cheap they currently are. Still managed to convince myself to buy an R-Zone, though... Anyway, great video, you two! Always enjoy hearing about weird stuff like this that I actually remember.
@jkjerbdhetheth5 жыл бұрын
I recall buying one of these on launch, primarily to connect Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life on the GC to Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA. In AWL, you would prompt the connection by traveling to a windy path at the edge of town leading into the mountains. Still being relatively young, I became absolutely convinced that I simply connected to the GBA enough times, I could finally travel to that fabled city up the hill. In reality, the connectivity actually could yield some substantial in-game changes. Initially, it was just a way to purchase unique musical records to play in your respective home and also unlock recipes. However, in FoMT, after connecting 42 times, you actually unlock the Sea Cottage, a full in-game home for the player. Sonic is another game series with interesting e-Reader capabilities that garnered my attention at the time. You could sync the various Chao Garden mini-games across titles - specifically, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2, and Sonic Pinball. Essentially, you could move your pet chao from the GC to the GBA and vice versa, leveling your chao through games and with exclusive items. In some sense, the e-Reader predicted the future. Consider the unlockables in many current Nintendo games available only by using amiibos. Or, in a way, e-Reader cards were early analogue DLC. Rarely approximating content in the scope of full expansions, e-Readers allowed the consumer to buy a "loot box" of sorts with random, often cosmetic, goodies inside. Oddly, it is with Pokemon that the cards were really squandered. With the card and game crazes still in full swing, a strong Pokemon title really created with the e-cards in mind could have been very successful. Alas, the concept was only pursued in half-measures and product ultimately flopped.

I totally have an e-reader with a very small collection of the cards sitting in my desk, I honestly don't remember getting it as a kid, but I've pretty much have always remember having one. Man was that thing finicky
