So... we're all familiar with the BSOD on a PC.... but what about on our NDS??


Have you found any buggy buggy games?


The inspiration for this post was "Zenses rainforest"...... this game has crashed on me twice.

Once was one of the first times I played... it went to some weird thing where the top screen was some kind of debugging mode and I could basically scroll through a list of files, and when I selected one it started one of the games.... very bizarre! Then last night... was playing, had a massive high score on the stacking one... and BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP, completely locked up along with high pitched screeching... highscore completely lost!!!


So, any similar experiences?

Super Mario 64 DS, there're bunch of bugs when you play as Wario. Then you can also accsee the "debug" screen.(by pressing some buttons but sorry i forget the sequence)

Trackmania's bugs are infuriating because they aren't consistent. Sometimes you'll fall through the track all together, and other times you'll sink into the track just enough to lose your speed. The desert vehicle seems to be the worst offender.

I think its L+R+Left+A, release all, Down+B, release all then Select+Start when the game is frozen

Probably the buggiest game I've played through was Bros. In Arms. You'd get stuck in boxes often, or run into walls and just all sorts of other collision-detection issues. Still had a blast with the game, somehow.

The buggiest game was definitely the Lego Star Wars II for the NDS. That game is full of glitchy stages, poor AI, and what not, that you have to cheat in order to pass a certain stage because the AI would keep falling into a chasm repeatedly. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga did much to rectify this hair-brained mistake of a game.

Lego Star Wars 2 felt like a beta version

Yeah. It was so bad that the developers had to apologise about it.

Lanfeust of Troy was a buggy piece of crap.

Jesus, I had forgotten all about that horrible, horrible game. Who the fuck puts the horizon line in the gap between the screens? I'll tell you who. The French.

Out of all the ones I've played, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin seems like the buggiest one to me. The game freezes either randomly, or when using a certain weapon or when a certain sound is made. There's also this glitch in the cutscene with Death, as in if you skip it you can't beat the game unless you abuse another glitch, which lets you go through walls by continuously suspending and loading your save.

That seems pretty glitchy to me. =P

That only applies when you're playing a backup (Except the freeze bug when you skip the death speech). Therefore shouldn't really be included in this list. (There's the money bug in the US version too).

There have been reports of freezing even with a legit copy.

I guess I'll mention that before I got into DS piracy, I owned a legit new copy of Final Fantasy 3 and the save data erased itself. A message appeared at startup one day and said the save was corrupted and wiped it clean. I was so angry because I just beat the final boss and was attempting to uncover the secrets.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
