Funny enough, I never had any issues with my copy of Zelda 1, despite never holding reset. I always wondered if I was wxtremely lucky, or just NOT extremely unlucky.

I never held reset for Zelda and never had any problems.

I used this to make my own "US version" of Arkanoid 2... Was super disappointed when I learned the US vaus controller didn't work with it 😭

turns out that "backing up" your wii games was pretty necessary

I NEVER held the reset button, and my Zelda saves never had a problem.

Conversely, pressing the power button off/on a ton of times quickly can do some interesting things to your save game. I inadvertantly cheated Ultima by doing this.

Makes sense, considering how saving was at its infancy by 1987.

I still find it insane that Nintendo hasn't gotten in trouble for blatant lies

This is a pretty big oversight, even for the time. I wonder why it wasn't done. UVLOs are a pretty standard part of most ICs, and even if the CPU itself didn't have one integrated, it should have been easy to get a dedicated chip for this

Huh, had the original gold Zelda and don't remember having to hold reset.... or on any game.

Does this apply to the later model top-loading NES?

i don't think we ever had this problem but i don't think we had many NES games that required saving like that

Weren't even N64 games written in assembly?

None of the physical NES games I own even have battery backups, and the rest I just emulate, so thankfully I've never had to deal with this.

Always wondered about this as a kid.

I remember those. *fires up emulator with downloaded roms of that exact game*

As someone who sails the 7 seas, i can confirm this is correct

I find corruption to be so interesting

I was always upset that my excitebike custom tracks never saved

Wow I completely forgot about having to do that, lol I guess thats what happens at 40

"Well the market crashed, but these Americans are so dumb, if we just call it something other than 'video game' they'll still buy it" And they were absolutely Right

I got an answer for why: They didn't know at the time how to make it work without remaking the whole thing, so as a short term solution:

0:42 an interesting thing is that some people learn better from top to bottom or from bottom to top, i.e. screen to transistor or transistor to screen. so what you find works the best for you may not work the best for everyone. (though the the way you understand best is often the way you explain best, so nothing wrong with that.)

Now I think I understand how people were able to find cheats! Back before you could just use a cheat device, people would power off/on quickly or multiple times before going to specific parts of the game to “hack” the game. Didn’t realize it was because it was throwing wrong codes. The more you know 😮

Lol I remember doing this on emulated games too if they told me to not knowing the reasoning behind it of course. I assume it doesn't apply to emulation

It's not special hardware, it's just a one-by-one check in the bootrom.

Yet another thing on list people believe Nintendo invented when it was stolen from someone else

I'd bet most NES save batteries are NOT dead. I only have one NES game left with a save battery (Zelda 2), and it still works.

The better question how many times are people gonna make videos about the reset switch on a video game system made in 1985!!!! This has to be at least the 5th one I've seen in the past 3 years about this very feature. Between that and videos on how the PS1 can play music Cds, we get it. Not hating on this video specifically, just speaking in general.

Fascinating points around 13:30. It sounds like AI will have to go through a very similar “growing up” process to humans. I guess this is why Tesla went the Tesla Bot route. To solve the less-risky first problem of “how to navigate the world like a human” before solving the more intense problem of “how to drive a car like a human”.

I had no idea you were supposed to switch off Zelda like that! Nobody else I knew at the time did either!

Rental of this game... oh yea, I remember blockbuster, video store, etc. they allowed game rentals.

Dragon Warrior 1 for NES... I forgot to hold it down once and almost passed out. I checked and my saves were gone. I turned it off and tried it again... They were back... Not sure what happened but I haven't played it since.

Wait, there's NES games with save states? I've been collecting the wrong games for the past 30 years.

Unreal Engine did the same.. They didn't allow google to to make their own game engine that uses UE compiler.

This would have been useful to me 38 years ago

I remember going to toy r us. my dad bought me Sega master system game called phantasy star. ahh good memories.

We have definitely come a LONG way !!

So, game devs fixed the console manufacturer's bugs..

I learned a thing

This gives me flashbacks to leaving Dragon Warrior 3 running while I went to the bathroom, then my sister coming in and just shutting the power off to watch TV 😢

I learned assembly just to drive the PC-98 sound card ( it uses x86 assembly rather than 50-instructions 6502 assembly )

In order to build a great future it's important to look at what made the past and present great

This topic is really interesting! Thanks!

I fully knew about holding reset on the first Zelda game, sometimes I did, sometimes I didn’t. Always saved. Never noticed a difference

Delightfully honored that something I wrote ended up being a source for an NesHacker video 😍 I love the internet so much

Cool

Interesting. Never had this problem back in the day.

Strange, never did that or saw that message on Zelda or Kirby nes. Never lost data either.
