Title: OoT Disk Drive files on Console
Post by: yeti on June 07, 2014, 03:36:22 PM
Hi all, new to the forum so I hope this is right place.

I was able to create a "disk" Disk Drive file on an old broken cart I had.
The cart was N64 v1.2 NTSC-U (English) that lost the ability to save a while back.  When I turned it on today it had a file saved in the second slot labeled in JP  " x  x x x ^disk"where x is the JP character found in position (1,9) on the Japanese File Create Screen (Unicode 3061?).  The file was grey and the cursor would skip over it. 

I could copy the file to other slots, and then place the cursor over that slot.  But I was unable to select the file.  Restarting the console deleted the file. I was able to recreate it a few times by starting a file in slot 2. But now it is gone (before I could get a screen shot too :( )

Any known tricks are used for this type of file?  I think it would be really cool of we could use this for some type of file corruption.

P.S. The file looked similar to this file:

That can happen if you do the Crooked Cartridge trick.

Here a short example of the crooked cartridge glitch

Yeah, the cartridge has been busted since before I started speedrunning.  I think it must have been accidental.  No uses for disk files though?

No, as far as I know the game straight up crashes.

Too bad. :(


Was able to get the file back and got a "screenshot" for for future reference.
