It’s stories like these that remind me I’m stupid and have a lot still to learn. My goodness this is amazing. Up there with audio key logging and things I read about but could never dream would be a real thing.

I tip my hat sir. Reminded that I’m a mere mortal in the presence of greatness. The absurdity of recreating a game based on audio crashes sounds like something a mental patient would say but no, here we are in 2024.



You’re not stupid because you don’t know how to reverse engineer a GBA game, unless you work for Nintendo and it’s part of your job description.


Stupid in the sense of dazed and unable to think clearly not lack of intelligence. Like, stunned stupid. You can have moments of stupidity and still be vastly intelligent. No one will call you stupid. Calling someone stupid is the first definition. I’m not a fan of that one. Claiming stupid on self is valid. When my girlfriend says “oh I’m stupid”, it’s not a remark about intelligence - it’s about clarity.


That makes a lot of sense, I appreciate the follow up.
