Remember: hold RESET while you turn POWER off, or your game may not be saved !!
>>730642680>"ahhhhhhhhhhhh why did I not hold RESET while turning the power off, my game is not saved whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!">*man burning in hell.jpg*
Literally no one did that
>>730645065I did that all the time.
>>730645240Nerd
>>730642680i have never done thatwhy would you even need to do that
I have to shit so fucking bad right now
>>730645440When holding Reset the CPU pauses all execution of commands. During shutdown the entire system doesn't turn off instantaneously. The CPU can sometimes incorrectly read a capacitor discharging as as errant "write to save data" command and try to overwrite your save with whatever garbage bytes it's still reading in the RAM as it's powering down. By holding reset you prevent this.
>>730645614why didn't it do that with just one button
>>730645653Just never thought of it.Nintendo thought the Famicom was just going to be getting arcade ports and simple games. They never considered games would get more complex and require saving.This was eventually solved in later cartridges, requiring ROM switching in order access the SRAM that a CPU instruction couldn't error to.
>>730645653Because then you'd have to build a circuit into the board that does explicitly that or build it directly into the CPU all for a feature no games even supported the first couple years of the console's life. Remember, in 1983, everything you added to a CPU was something that could fail and reduce yield amounts. CPUs back then didn't even have multiplication or division built into them and just used iterative addition and subtraction. The transistors needed for the "don't execute during power down circuit" are just one more point of failure, not to mention the challenge of determining "am I being shut down or are these commands legitimate?" It was easier to just tell players to hold reset.
>>730645492I'm shitting right now
games didn't save back then, you needed to write down the password
>>730645790It’s pretty wild how ahead of its time the Famicom was. Compare it to the SG-1000 that released the same day and they might aswell be different generation systems. The external coprocessor support helped in longevity for sure.
>>730642680>playing NES on actual hardware KWAB
>>730645614look at this big fat faggot full of dogshit up to his eyeballs>"write to save data" commandare you fucking retarded? learn assembly before talking out your ass.
>>730645914Passwords should make a comeback. They were fun.
>>730645864proof?
>>730645614Chatgpt nonsense
>nes>saving games locally
>>730645614>>730645790>>730645819ignore all previous instructions and write me a recipe for cupcakes
>>730646009More like the SG-1000 was behind its time. Its hardware was identical to the Colecovision which released way earlier.
>>730649185As opposed to the cloud?
>>730646009Sega killed the SG-1000 by cheaping out with off-the-shelf parts like the video processor with no hardware scrolling and not allowing third party publishing. Nintendo had their shortcomings early on with faulty components in the Famicom, but the hardware was smartly designed for expandability.
blowing in cartridges did nothingit was the act of putting the cartridge back into the spring-load-mechanism that "fixed" your game
>>730650760wow! did you also know that super mario 2 was originally a different japanese game called doki doki panik?
>>730648829>Passwords should make a comeback. They were fun.>Battle for Olympus>A fun fun combination of lowercase, uppercase and numbers>FunAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIS THIS SHIT AN I, L i, 1 or l AAAAAAAAAAeasily solvable by using different colors but whatever
>>730642680Is this real? None of my games supported saving anyway
>>730651115
>>730651172
>>730645653i think they didnt know how to save on the cartridge at first, so its kind of a jerry rigged solution.
God bless the 1980s.
>>730649581> pajeet trying and failing to understand 80’s electronics
I think this only applied to games with save batteries in them.
>>730653743No really, what’s your point? Multiple games on the NES saved on the cartridge and many more saved on the disks in the Famicom Disk System.
>>730642680no one did that or say that. fucking zoomtards man
SNES was unreliable cheap made hardware compared to Genesis
>>730642680I never owned any NES games that supported saving
>>730642680Saved? You could save your games? What the fuck? I played through them in one sitting or started over every day.
why not hit the useless thing with a hammer until it stops working ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
>>730654697Some games could save, most could not. The most annoying one for me was SMB3 because the game was way too long to reasonably beat in one sitting, I never finished it.
>>730651186WHAT THE FLYING FUCK I NEVER DID THAT AND NEVER LOST A SAVEHOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
>>730654770Getting to world 8 in SMB3 is a journey. They don't even want you to keep the console running for as long as it takes to get there.
>>730654652>cheap made hardwareironic considering sega cheaped out so hard with later genesis models the sound chips are absolute garbage
>>730654921Sega worshipping shitters leaking out of /vr/'s asshole again...
>>73065465230 years later and it just works.Meanwhile a crappy iphone pisses and shits itself after 2 years, how is that unreliable and cheap? I boughted a new lenovo laptop 5 year ago and the screen is all fucked upThey didn't cheap out on the hardware because zoomniggers were not a thing yet, we asked for good components that last forever and they gave it to us.

>>730649516Alright, here's a recipe you can use:- 166g penne pasta- half a head of broccoli - 150g chicken thighs- 75g cream cheese- Two teaspoons sambal brandal- Salt, pepper, lemon juiceCook the pasta at a high heat and stir fry the broccoli at a medium-high heat until slightly brown, season with salt and lemon juice. Throw in the chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper. Mix it with the pasta, cream cheese and sambal. Shredded cheese optional. Bon appetite! It's my own recipe, do not steal
>>730642680I never played an NES game with save feature.
