Sorry for my slow response Dave. I completely forgot to check this place for a couple of days.

Awesomo glitch. I still can't believe you've found something that glitchy so soon after the release.

What are your thoughts on Diamond/Pearl? Is it worth a purchase, or just the same old stuff? How is it "better" or "different" than or to the older ones?

Cheers,
Franklint

Actually I wasn't the first to find the glitch -- if I was the original discoverer of the glitch I'd've put it in Glitch Submission.


D/P are great games, greatly expanding upon the originals. Contents now have several new features making use of the touch screen; Secret Bases are now part of a Capture-the-Flag game that takes place in the Sinnoh (new region) Underground; there are loads of new Pokemon; there are new regions, and Pokemon from the 3 previous regions are still available; you can upload Pokemon from the GBA games (but this is PERMANENT and you CAN'T GET THEM BACK ON THE GBA!) ; but the best part is...

You can RUN. INDOORS. NO MORE walking at a rate of one tile per hour through massive mansions such that it takes forever to reach the first door -- you can freakin' RUN INDOORS!

Oh yeah, right. Sorry. I feel stupid.

Great quality video for a handheld. It's very hard to capture movies of handheld consoles because it's all so small. Most videos I've seen have everything really blurry.

Thanks heaps for your Diamond/Pearl opinions. They sound really cool, and I'll probably get one of them.

Haha @ running indoors. Indeed this is a very useful addition.

Cheers,

Thanks. I used a Sony Cyber-shot 6.0megapixel camera in a dark area with the DS backlight on.

Start in the route just above Jubilife City. Get on your bike, set it to the fastest setting, and then position yourself below the sign, such that you have a straight path to the city.

Rapidly buttonmash left and right while pressing down, such that you look like you're spinning. In other words, rapidly change horizontal direction while moving down. Also, DO NOT HIT ANYTHING! Move like this throughout the whole city without hitting anything, and when you get to the route below the city, the glitch should be triggered if you did it right. All that happens is that there's no room in RAM for the texture data, so the map is there, just invisible.

Sometimes, you'll get a white void; then, you can walk ANYWHERE. I've never gotten one so I haven't been able to experiment fully, so I don't know what happens if you go outside the map without entering another map. I DO know that this one happens when you use up MORE RAM than the black void, leaving no room for texture or collision data.

Other times, the game'll just crash, most likely because the glitch used ALL the RAM.

And sometimes, a void or game crash will occur halfway through the city.

BUT NEVER SAVE OR GO UNDERGROUND DURING OR AFTER THE GLITCH!!!

[Franklint]

Indeed sounds very interesting. I\'ll try it out when I get Diamond or Pearl.
