I'm probably gonna get called underaged for this, but anyone think ROM corruptions are funny?
I kinda want to know how to do them myself. I know they're just exchanging bytes around/ replacing them, but how do I actually do that?

First you need a file corrupter, I use the VineCorrupt thing here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C_OY6M_hXWd1yTlsjNkoXSXipaYBgGoErJwPrJgsb7o/edit
For settings avoid corrupting the first 5000 bytes for NES and 50000 for SNES, it makes them crash
A lower number for step size means more corrupted bytes, usually all you need to do is add 1 or 2 to each corrupted byte to get shit to happen
It really needs patience though, for all the funny stuff you see in a video it usually takes hours to get just 10min worth of funny/interesting stuff

I've seen this program before, and it's pretty neat, but does it work for 64 games?

It does but corrupting N64 games is harder, I stick 16bit era stuff
Making save states helps for getting past intros and level select stuff so always make a couple for the game you're corrupting, then name the save states to output.whatever

Thanks friend, I'll give it a try later.

Anybody got any good corruptions they'd like to post?
What is best corruption- sound, graphic, or mechanic altering?
