Amazing video, this is gonna be the go-to whenever we start attempting this madness. *However*, there was a somewhat obscure development around a year ago that actually makes the last 60 levels (the stupid hard ones) impossible to crash on. You have to use player3/player4 controllers in a specific way (along with a particular adapter to make them playable), which magically fixes the corrupted jump that causes the crash in the first place. Right now, most players don't have the hardware to take advantage of this but it's by far the best option for reaching rebirth.

The fact it requires a unique technique from level 29, slowly introduces crashing possibilities that peak then die off, has a possible pause mechanic just after, then a big endurance test with the 810 level, then makes the very basic function of placing pieces dangerous towards the end of the game, it feels like a well paced fun difficulty curve but its all glitches from the hyper trimmed down code hahaha

It's crazy how much of a minefield the later levels become. It would be insane if anyone was able to to put some of those crash avoidance tricks into practice. I have a couple of questions though - when you "flash" the next screen, is it strictly necessary to turn it back on or could you conceivably just leave it off? Also, is there any possibility of RNG manipulation in Tetris such that you know exactly what pieces to expect are coming up?

Awesome video! Dr. Mario also has this same confetti glitch, including that moving shaking number! If i remember correctly, it can happen if you do a big enough combo/cascade. The score freaks out, the game can temporarily freeze, with or without confetti, or crash. Confetti is also affected by controller inputs, the funniest one being Select, where the game screen squishes itself so much you can see the level twice!

good stuff! One comment: The second loop should be an identical experience to the first except the 810 line level. The 810 line level will occur 46 levels earlier in the second loop, so for example if it was level 219 in the first, it will occur on level 173 on the second. Sometimes though, there can be two 810 line levels in one loop! For example, levels 45 and 255 at one point.

3:55 An interesting thing here is if you include levels 128-137, this is exactly 128 levels, and it's a sequence of 64 that repeats twice. It's like there's a 6 bit number to choose the colour palette based on the level number, but they only programmed 10 palettes into it, and then added code to make it only use the first 10, but that code stops working after the level number gets past 7 bits (127). I only noticed this because you said the glitched colours repeat "about halfway through", but it turns out it's _exactly_ halfway through, except the glitched colours actually start at 128, not 138. We just don't notice it because the normal colours are the same as the first 10. tl;dr 192-255 is an exact copy of 128-191. 192-201 aren't a break in the glitched colour pattern; that's where it restarts (they're a repeat of 128-137).
@triskai 3 ай бұрын
someone who knows more can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's more apt to say 202-255 plus 0-9 are an exact copy of 138-201? because I believe the way the code internally works is it subtracts 10 from the level and checks if it's negative, and if not it sets the level 10 lower and tries the same thing again - but for levels above 138, it thinks the first result is already negative because of integer overflow. so 10-137 are the levels where the game's code has to "copy" a previous color scheme instead of assigning its own in the table (never mind that the first 118 palettes of the table weren't meant to exist in the first place), and 138-255 plus 0-9 make up the table itself, in that order... if the way I said that makes any sense, which knowing me it probably doesn't

you're thinking of the signed INT variable, which uses up 64 bits (4 bytes) of memory... the nintendo entertainment system is an 8-bit console, so it can only move around 8 bits of data at once (anything larger needs multiple reads/writes), also games rarely need to store values that large, and when they do need large numbers (for example the player's score), they split it up into multiple smaller chunks and store/display them all next to eachother at the same time I looked into it, and specifically for the player score in tetris, they split it up like this: each of the 6 digits is stored as a hexadecimal (4 bits, holds 16 values) which is usually represented with 0-9 and then the first 6 letters of the alphabet (0123456789ABCDEF) and that's literally it - it ignores anything from "A" onwards and loops from 9 back to 0 - then, once the leftmost digit exceeds 9 (so over a million), it just sets everything back to 999999 you can uncap that leftmost digit and then it'll go through the letters A to F and then it'll loop back to 0, then 1, 2, 3, and so on and so forth - there's even a game genie code for this "ENEOOGEZ" which a lot of players use it will loop forever and never break if for some reason you wanted to uncap all the digits you are also able to do that, but then it'll be in base 16 instead of base 10 (aka normal readable human counting), again it will loop forever (just the loop will take longer) and never break

I don't know if they are possible by a single person alone, but I could see a development where a player is accompanied by a "navigator" similar to a rally where the navigator looks at a map of the terrain and keeps track of all turns and how difficult they are. In Tetris, the navigator would keep track of all crash possibilities for each level and quickly inform the player (i.e., driver) on what not to do on a particular level.

Saw a comment about the pause button and suddenly something came up that I need to ask If using the pause button is allowed, can that avoid drop crashes as well?

its so cool to see how these things happen because of technical errors and glitches, especially with how intentional everythung feels

Crazy how only 3 months after this vid and someone already proven rebirth is possible and there's currently a race to rebirth.

14:37 isn't it poetic that the only non-crashing pieces in the Levels From Hell are the T and the J, the very same pieces that grant their shapes to the CTWC trophies?

Amazing this game has still more to discover after nearly 34 years

Wow, really interesting stuff. After game crash I assumed that the only achievement left was 'just' rebirth but actually there are several milestones to hit before that point. Lots of opportunities for someone to be 'first' at something 😅

I've seen limited confetti happen in Dr. Mario with a big enough combo. As well as crashes. Interesting stuff.

The rebirth run seems like the ultimate endpoint for the game. Something about it seems so romantic, you dodge pieces of the game’s code crumbling around you as you push the game beyond human and inhuman limits until you finally come out the other side.

Is there a max line count? Would getting as many lines as possible crash the game or change the post-rebirth sections of the game?

Nice video i really enjoyed watching it :) but whats happening if you "beat" tetris exactly? Are there changes in the code or the screen? What happens if you beat it twice or even more often? Im realy excited what else will be discovered next or if someone will actually will get this far
@jakerussell135 3 ай бұрын
crazy how even though the game ahas been beaten for the first time in 34 years, we have still hardly scratched the surface. the next months and years are gonna be incredible. I bet by the end of the year, we will have significant progress towards the rebirth

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the song for rebirth can be found, i can’t find it anywhere, the description writes “nemurinitsuku sekai” but i can’t find it if anyone sees this, please help.
@moonnexus3523 20 күн бұрын
Yeah, I found it. It's in nostalgia (dot) info and the title of the song is "眠りにつく世界". The uploader had this name down too but it was in romanji instead of kanji.

So if Tetris really restarts after Level 255 with all variables in the RAM reset it could be called an endless game incredibly hard to reach the reset even once, but basically unbeatable if done right. Also good thing the developers interpreted the Levelcount seemingly as an unsigned 8-bit integer, don't want to know what would happen if it would've been an singed one. Also my utmost respect for everyone involved for even reaching the point Tetris is now.
