    It’s in some way related. This is the Tick Tock Clock (TTC) upwarp, a glitch that happened to a speedrunner (not ABC) where Mario got randomly teleported to a higher position. It was speculated that a bit flip happened due to cosmic ray, but it’s more likely that it was caused by a hardware bug instead.

    pannenkoek2012, famous for creating A Button Challenge (ABC) TASes, put up a $1000 bounty for anyone who can solve (consistently reproduce) the TTC upwarp, since an upwarp would be very helpful in gaining height without pressing the A button to jump. This upwarp never got solved, but he already found ways to beat TTC without any A presses and it was insane: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98EpPsaAF_k

    It could be cosmic ray. The fact is we don’t know. It’s just speaking in terms of probability, it’s a lot more likely that this is an N64 bug.

    It’s not like we don’t know what a hardware exploit can do on the N64. For example, you can skip an area in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time by pulling part of the cartridge out while the game is running.

    Tool-assisted Speedruns (TASes, the automated run you mentioned) are mostly run on emulators. If this an N64 hardware bug, it may even be specific to that speedrunner’s N64. That’s why a TASer actually bought the N64 from this speedrunner to study it lol



  • I want to belieeeve

    It’s basically what @[email protected] commented.

    Additional context for the title is that pannenkoek2012, pioneer of the A Button Challenge (ABC), put up a $1000 bounty for solving the Tick Tock Clock (TTC) upwarp, since techniques in gaining height is extremely valuable as we want to avoid pressing the A Button to jump. No one solved the TTC upwarp. However, solutions have been found for completing TTC without any A presses (0xA) so the TTC upwarp isn’t needed anymore.

    The 0xA video is insane btw: https://youtu.be/98EpPsaAF_k

    The only difference is that -Syyu forces the database to update

    To explain what database means in short, it tells pacman what packages are available in different repos (e.g. core, extra). In some rare cases, the time of the database update may be incorrectly marked, and pacman would not know there are new packages/versions. -Syyu should be used in this case.
