(Extra Info) Delving into my broken/haunted Pokemon Blue cartridge Part 1


Harmonic Revelations

So I decided to further delve into the specifics of the cartridge. Actually, more specifically, I ported it to a ROM to see what kind of abnormalities would translate from the cartridge to an emulator. So, anyways, let me list the problems present with the ROM I ported from the cartridge.

 

-The Title is scrambled

 

-The starting town has some mislocated tiles

 

-In the first battle with your rival he always has missingno

 

-The Music is still messed up on the title

 

 

That's about all I've found so far with the emulator, I really didn't go too far into it, I actually just wanted to see if the cartridge worked enough that it was even possible to port it. I am interested in the fact that not all problems peristent with the cartridge are found on the emulator. It doesn't make any sense to me, if you have any ideas, please leave them in the comments.

 

 

Edit: I'm going to list problems I've found with the cartridge.

 

 

-Both Brock and the Old Man use the Lavender town White Hand dialogue when you first meet them

 

-Trainer don't approach you, you have to walk up and talk to them, otherwise battles are for the most part normal

 

-Tiles in Pallet Town are messed up

 

-Rival usually has a Rhydon or Missingno

 

-Some of the Wild Pokemon have Bublasaur's name but Growlithe's sprite

 

-The Title screen is scrambled

 

-Music on the title is messed up

 

-My trainer card is extremely glitchy, both the play time and trainer name are always inaccurate, and occassionally freezes the game when accesses.

Nintendo's troubleshooting guide recommends testing the problematic (gah, my middle name again!) cartridge on another system before deducing it being a cartridge issue.
