Hey Matt, this is pretty neat. If you are interested in glitching consoles by undervolting or starving them of power, I may be able to assist. Many (newer than sega genesis) consoles have voltage comparators on the power supply to shut down all power to the system in case a voltage anomaly, such as crossing below an undervoltage threshold. In the portablizing community, we have had to dealt with modifying and bypassing the onboard regulators used to power the voltage rails used to run the chips and other logic elements. So I may be able to help you get glitches out of consoles that otherwise wouldn't be possible through the main DC jack. I also have 5 variable benchtop power supplies in my lab so that may be of assistance too. Feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to help, or at the very least, point you in the right direction!

@venialgaming4295

Жыл бұрын

@@gamelaine the explanation is a bit more complex than that actually, basically all audio systems have to be analog at the speakers even nowadays but the tv I used to test this was a crt so the audio remains analog the entire time meaning that when the Nes’s internal amplification circuit receives less voltage and thus less current the audio signal coming out gets weaker and thus the tv has to use more power to amplify it to the same audio level. Funnily enough some digital tv’s don’t actually pick up some audio when you start to get into making your own audio things because they need a certain loudness to pick the signal up, but all independent analog audio signals are the same so you can pretty much adapt almost any audio connector to eachother without any fancy circuitry.

Death Stranding Directors' Cut looking great.

Matt, dude, go around the voltage regulator, feed it with 5 volts! your batteries will last way longer The regulator just throws away a ton o f power as heat, 850mA * (9V - 5V) = 3.4W (roughly, my math might not be the best) just pissed away every hour

Wow, those must be the hardware replicas that I've heard of! Except I've read that a company or a person miniaturized the actual Atari 2600 hardware onto a single chip a long time ago and it was used in plug and play versions of Atari. And that replica was essentially a tiny Atari 2600 so it had all the quirks and oddities from the original such as any bugs from the original

A lot of those glitches look to be related to loading data out of the cart's ROM. I suspect it would fail differently using a genuine cartridge, there's way more power-hungry electronics in those multi-game fake carts than in an original one.

Causing "analog" glitches in a digital system is somehow really trippy, this and your NES video are great! In everything digital you're used to thinking that things either work right, work consistently wrong or don't work at all, but like this, it's interesting to imagine what kind of irregularities could possibly happen when the system keeps trying on low power.

An analog corruptor sounds like a very cool idea. Can't wait to see it, if you make the video!

Later that night while you are asleep you hear static from the TV in your room. The game has a new message, it says "I AM IN HERE WITH YOU". you roll your eyes and shut off the TV and hear a distorted version of the Sega sound, then you hear heavy breathing. The entity behind you says "do you want to play a game"

Excellent video! I’d love to see under voltage videos on the SNES and N64. My only feedback is that your capture device is missing a timecode corrector. Soon as you showed it up on the mountain I knew “Ah, it’s gonna drop frames when it resyncs” and sure enough when the chroma channel died in the video there’s lots of missing frames. Back in the day when my mother dearest was on Channel 9 news I taped it to VHS and then captured using a USB capture device (specifically the EyeTV) and it dropped frames constantly as the VHS tape was bad. Our MiniDV camera with analog inputs (and a timecode corrector internally) captured it perfectly, any bad frames were captured intact and no drop out. Might be worth a look. Please keep it up! Can’t wait to see more.

@JarrydHall

Correction for my old dumb self - what I meant to say was “timebase corrector”. Basically computers (anything analog to digital) don’t really like it when things don’t arrive on time as they should, and as the video signal would be drifting with the undervolting there’ll be a point where the capture device is like "crickey, has the input changed? The timing doesn't match anymore! Is it PAL? No. NTSC? Nope? Is the colour encoding PAL60?! NO?!" and it'll keep dropping until it can eventually lock again.

I love these "manufactured" glitches a lot! And it would be cool to see more variations of them.
