/vr/ - Retro Games

Being obsessed with finding unused stuff in games.
Browsing for text in N64 games with the GameShark memory viewer (pic rel) and both finding stuff and dicking around with values to find items/characters/levels/etc. Even just finding normal text strings used in-game were neat to me, but finding unused stuff and developer shit (like the occasional filename) was fun too. Would have shit if I saw the dev rant in The New Tetris back then.
PS1 games being on CD excited me as a kid because that meant I could put it in my computer and look at the files. I grabbed a bunch of extraction tools (usually off of Zophar's Domain) and would spend all night plundering.

Absolutely loved Squaresoft's PS1-era debug stuff and I got excited when it turned out that pretty much every Square game I had on the PS1 had a debug room or at least a menu. First one I played around in was VIII's.
