AST week4 Ganon issues

After the msu1 release of AST, somebody reported problems with Ganon playing with American SNS-101:


Ganon is invulnerable, worse, when sprinkling powder on the trident, this turns into a fairy.
I never touched Ganon in my hacks, and this bug also didn't happen on snes9x, bsnes whatsoever, and nobody else reported these problems. I am tempted to assume that one circuit on his console burned through, but would like to ask if anybody else has played this game with sd2snes or can do so to confim this bug... Erock?

If anybody has problems how this could have happened, please post here:

The files can be found (as usual) here:

(just apply the msu patch for week4 on official version week4)
Here's a srm of his, if somebody wants to test without having to play through w1-w3:

I think I played through these games once before in an emulator. I could try and see whats going on with sd2snes, but it might take me a while since i would have to play the game to get there. Oh I see you have an srm file. I guess I can try this weekend to check it out if you want.

Thanks Erock. I think all needed is to play the srm, and immediately flute to the summit (Zelda will be there double, but don't care, I fixed this in the meanwhile) and you can already check Ganon if he's defeatable.

Conn, you just gave me an idea: make Ganon invincible like in the video, if Link does not have a certain item in the inventory. If he has this item, then he can be defeated. Note: this is just an idea, nothing more.

Nice idea, but I think it is unfair to let people get to Ganon in first place. Better is to lock the path to him, requireing this item...

did you still want me to check this. im assuming i need the msu1 patch.

i downloaded some files but unsure which ones to use. there is week 4 msu1 then compatibility files also for week 4.

hmmmm.

Just go to
http://bszelda.zeldalegends.net/sekibanfiles.shtml
download the official week4 version, the msu patch, apply the week4 msu patch to official week4 version.
The compatibility files are only the xml, bml which you won't need for sd2snes

Thanks

See if this helps.

Also the strangest thing was when at the end you said my name as the voice actor in the credits, but when I saw this I thought somehow the game was talking directly to me and knew my name for some unknown reason even though I never typed it in as the player. This spooked me a bit. Hahahah

Also I cannot edit my own posts for some unknown reason. Why this privilege is taken away.

Also the above video was done with the msu1 patch but i did not make it run the pcms or audio files.

Thanks for your test So this guy who reported this issue must have set a trigger somehow, which is sd2snes only and only at a small rate (he says he bought the shovel before getting to Ganon, but there are 1000 of other things he could have done). So I think we'll never find out what's wrong, since you also tested sd2snes and all was normal.

One important question: did you use the srm I posted above, in my first post? This is the one the problems occured. If you used this srm, the problems must be caused by his system.


Dunno about the edit function... SePH?

Yes, I used your srm file.

Ok then, thanks again

I wonder if it could have something to do with assumptions about contents of uninitialized WRAM or the like...
