I was going to suggest posting on Krikzz's forum, but I saw you did. If you don't get a response, Krikzz will sometimes respond on Twitter about hardware issues. Yeah, I tried it that with different version of the OS and posting on the Krikzz's forum. Thanks for the advice to you and AVGN gamer. Maybe there's still something that can be done.

I wanted to play this game on original hardware, so I transfered the rom file to my Everdrive and while I was playing there were sudden visual and audio bugs. I tried resetting the console and even switching it off completely, but the bug consisted. However, the worst of all is that this bug affects EVERY game on my Everdrive! Every game sounds really ugly and sratchy. When I tried an original Famicom cartridge the sound was back to normal. So at least that works, but my Everdrive seems to be broken. The Grinch really did ruin my Christmas. Has anybody ever heard of such a glitch or knows how to get the Everdrive working again? I have the standard NES Everdrive N8 with the latest firmware and it worked fine for me. Maybe it's a Famicom specific issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,038 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) My current score on MESEN: 60 75 90 I probably won't be able to do another score. So this is unfortunately my final score Edited December 27, 2022 by Gaia Gensouki 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK You are right. 2022 had some intense NES gaming. I am worn down alright. Also been enjoying some neglected Sega CD, SNES, ColecoVision games lately. And keeping things relaxed.

koifish | 546 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Guess I was being too down in the dumps. Some time off and a fresh crack, and here's a new high score. 196 Don't know if I'll get to 200, might just call it here since I'll be busy tomorrow. Did any of you players end up with a ton of run-ruining glitches? Most recently, I had the game freeze mid-play, I died to an enemy obstacle that didn't exist, and I had half of a pipe cover the entire vertical height of a screen, making it unwinnable. I also had plenty more collision issues. This challenge is fun but the game is frustrating.

TDIRunner | 2,697 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Well that sucks. I wish I hadn't logged in tonight to see the bad news. I figured I would give it one more go and while being within a dozen points of getting back in the drawing, I get killed by an invisible enemy. This game is fun, but I'm getting killed by too many glitches to enjoy it anymore. I'm out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koifish | 546 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Oh, I also learned that when you are on a sinking platform that you will phase right through any other platforms. So, don't stand on a falling platform and then expect a bridge below to catch your fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT | 86 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I've been playing on Nesticle on my PC with an 8ibitdo wireless controller. I haven't had many glitches that ended my game. The main glitches that I have seen are: -clipping through a pipe -reaching an area where you cannot progress forward (happened once or twice) -blind jumps right into an enemy -goomba stuck inside pipe -koopas stuck together -hard blocks on ceiling actually breakable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
