Game objectives

  • Emulator used: lsnes rr2-β23
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Uses glitched password
  • Corrupts memory
  • Executes arbitrary code

Executing $00F9

Big characters and small characters

Generally, big characters are placed in inside of the field. And small characters are in outside. Big characters aren't placed in outside if you play this game normally. (Sometimes small characters are in inside.)

Placing a big character in outside by using password

You can use a password at "スーパーバトルリーグ:Super Battle League" or "激闘対戦モード:VS Mode" for organization of the team and fix ability of each character. It depends on whether the 39th and 40th letter of a password who enters the outside. Before the start of the match, Graphic data is loaded from rom. But if a big character is placed in outside, memory corruption may be occured. It's depend on some characters. Perhaps it is unexpected that a big character enters the outside.

How to executing $00F9 

Outside player: Grate Kaminarimon(グレートかみなりもん)
Stage: Moon
Opponent: Knight Gundam team(ナイトドラゴンズ)
This combination makes stack corruption, and executing $00F9 occured.

Jumping to password area

Usable memory address 

$00F9 = a number of times attract mode match is watched
$00FA = a number of times cursor is moved
$00FB = a number of times A or B are pushed at password mode.
$00FC = a number of times sounds when cursor is moved
$00FD = a number of times sounds when A or B are pushed at password mode.
$1F80-$1FB1 = password

A barrage

As you barrage the A with a password mode, $00FD will not catch up with $00FB, because the sound is not in time. If the difference between $00FB and $00FD is set to 1 at the moment when screen gliches, it is possible to make the instruction for jump to password area.

Other comments

This ending is not for "スーパーバトルリーグ:Super Battle League". This is for "真・闘球王伝説:Shin Toukyuou Densetsu".
Samsara: Judging.
Samsara: Changing branch to just "game end glitch" and accepting to Moons.
Samsara: Hopefully replacing with a file with the blank SRAM removed.
Guga: Processing...

Great stuff, voted yes.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

If not for the fact this uses arbitrary code execution, I'd complain about the Spiderman 2 glitched password thing being rejected. With that said, this is the first time I've seen a password screen used as an exploit. I wonder any other games with passwords have exploits?

I meant ACE, but my fault for not mentioning. Also, No vote, since my ears. :/ Sorry about that. Good effort finding this however.

Maybe Ecco 1? I once glitched it in real time by entering a wrong password, though I wasn't able to finish the game.

What's with the dirty sram? isn't that usualy not allowed (except with gameplay modes that need clear data, and even then only when a verification movie is provided, which does not seem to be the case here)?

hum i don't really understand,i don't think this has dirty sram,just uses password to glitch the game(which is totally different)
TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

Savestate / SRAM / clean detection If file named "savestate" is present, it is a savestate, otherwise If file named "savestate.anchor" is present, it starts from savestate, otherwise If file with name starting with "moviesram." is present, it starts from SRAM, otherwise It starts from clean state
This btw. Not sure if it affects sync if deleted.

A sram file got mixed unintentionally. No need to be written to the sram something in advance. I confirmed it works without sram file at my environment.

No, it's not the fault of the author. The SRAM is just a problem with the parser of TASVideos.

The file is literally 0 bytes.
Warning: Might glitch to credits I will finish this ACE soon as possible (or will I?)

The Movie Rules explicitly state: No skipping to the end with a password The point is to beat the full game, skipping major sections of the game with a password defeats the purpose. No vote. -->Just kidding! That was great. Yes vote! ;)

I dunno if you're being serious or not, but that rule refers to actual passwords that actually skip to actual game end. Here the password doesn't skip, it's used as RAM that contains arbitrary code, and then the game is glitched to make execution jump to there. And the code written there is skipping to the game end.

There's text hidden between the --> and ;) So that wasn't being serious.
<ccfreak2k> There is no 'ctrl' button on DeHackEd's computer. DeHackEd is always in control.

The password contains code that is used to skip to the end. No matter how you look at it, this TAS skips major sections of the game using a password. Look Here!! -->Yeah, I am completely joking. :) However, I do think the rules should be updated. More and more TASses (this one, for example) are not about beating the full game.;)

I'm not really sure but I think "Uses level password" should be added or removed from [2059] SNES Mega Man X "password glitch" by FractalFusion in 16:56.88 too. From judgement notes of the latter: On the other hand, it abuses the password system, and while not actually using a password, the use is questionable.

Only if the password that is entered can take you to a later level.
