[@alexpotts6520]

​​​​@@jaysonata3211 This is a reason why every single time ACE has been discovered in a game, it's created a new speedrunning category. The old non-ACE records haven't gone anywhere, and tbh are still more competitive and prestigious. FWIW though, from what I've seen about SMS ACE it also requires a really high level of execution, with frame-perfect inputs all over the place. It's definitely still "high level gameplay" even if it is a bit weird to actually watch a runner seemingly goofing around in Delfino Plaza for fifteen minutes.

[@Jademalo]

I feel like you're slightly misusing the map analogy - The pointer doesn't change, what changes is the data at the location of that pointer is pointing to. It's more akin to someone digging up the treasure and replacing it with something else, but you're still using the map expecting to find the treasure.

[@nyon7209]

I think it's more like the directions a local gives you to their favorite restaurant, but you drove to a different city before trying to follow them.

[@twynb]

yeah, my go to analogy for pointers is that they're like street adresses - when the pointer gets freed, whatever lived there moves out and when you go to that adress again later, you don't know who or what is currently living there

[@jkid1134]

Maybe I'm going crazy - isn't calling it a pointer already a perfectly good analogy? It points at a location in memory, much like I can point a location in real life. Putting a different thing in the location being pointed to means you're pointing at a different thing.

[@pikariocraftf2802]

What about using a treasure map of an island but being on the wrong island and finding something else instead?

[@someguywhocanfly]

What? The pointer isn't pointing to the same place in memory that now has new data in it, it's pointing to a different place in memory - saying the map is now pointing to a different X is completely correct. You're thinking of the pointer as its own object. It is in programming terms, but not in this analogy. It's simply directions, and you get a new set of directions, hence a new pointer.

Awesome video, cool to see sms ACE get a good video explaining the general concepts for viewers to understand! One small correction though, the turbo gate that's used to point to the spin buffer in the modern ACE routes is actually the one next to the beach pipe on the other side of the map, and that shine grabbed in the TAS to trigger ace is generally referred to as underbell. For anyone curious, the current RTA record uses the 100 coin shine instead to execute cutscene underflow because it was generally easier to execute, but new route developments have allowed for us to grab the underbell shine to execute the glitch instead just like the TAS, so the record will likely be lowered to around the 15-18 minute mark soon.

[@SusieUndertale]

explain it yourself then genius

[@lunarscapes6016]

@@SusieUndertale Ok so let’s start with understanding what a pointer is. Memory is basically a bunch of bits which can be flipped on or off. If you want to store, for example, Mario’s x position in memory, let’s assume for simplicity that it is a 4-bit integer (in reality it’s more likely a 32-bit double). You would need to find some spot in memory that isn’t being used for anything else, and then you can set those 4 bits to Mario’s position, which we’ll say for now is 7. Now that you’ve done that, you need to remember where you’ve stored this value, and to do that, you’ll use a pointer. Each bit in memory has an address, which looks something like this: 0x73F832. A pointer will store only the value 0x73F832, not the value 7. So if some other part of the program doesn’t realize that address is currently in use, perhaps the number of coins, let’s say 2, could be stored in the same address. And now the code that updates Mario’s position will just say “hey where’s Mario’s position?” and the pointer will say “0x78F832” and the code will say “ok the data stored there is 2, so Mario should be at x = 2.” So how do you keep track of which bits of memory are free and which are in use? Allocation and Deallocation. If a bit of memory is deallocated, it is said to no longer be in use, and some other data can be written onto that bit. This does not change the pointer in any way, so a pointer that points to a deallocated bit of memory is called a dangling pointer and is very dangerous. In the video, they used a treasure map analogy, which I feel is a bad analogy in the first place, but they also somehow got the analogy backwards. Watch that segment again now that you know what a pointer is, and you should be able to see how obvious it is that this guy has no idea what he’s talking about. It’s harder for me to conclusively say that he explained the cutscene logic incorrectly because I don’t actually know how it works, but I get the same feeling, and I think an actual explanation would actually be really cool, which is why I was disappointed. Hope this helps :-)

[@mrhalfsaid1389]

​@lunarscapes6016 I like to describe ace and memory in general like filing cabinets and the things you'd find in them (y'know... like why they're called files) because it's the most accurate visualization of the process of finding info (it's better than fishing lines and maps to be sure)

[@secureb00t39]

​​@@mrhalfsaid1389 I always used the apartment analogy when I tutored the freshmen in college. An apartment is where you live. If someone wants to find you, they write your address down. The piece of paper they're holding is the pointer- a variable that has the value of the address. That address has the value of you. The memory is the Apartment Complex

[@mrhalfsaid1389]

@secureb00t39 that's also a good analogy, I just think what the original analogy leading to the name of something is easier to think of, especially when you think about it being information storage in both and how filing cabinets are a much more condensed idea in terms of the physical space they take up, meaning it's easier to scale in my mind. Just different ways at the end of the day

The problem is, arbitrary code execution will always be extremely unpopular due to its inhuman (or at least, inhumane lol) difficulty. Very few people ever enjoy such extremely tight speedrun execution in which one spends thousands of attempts just for one successful run. So no ACE runs are going to remain predominant.

Fun Fuct: ACE is possible in the Switch Version

[@NokiDoki]

The glitch isn't patched but due to the way the Switch version works, you most likely can't get it to actually run arbitrary code. There's still hope to run arbitrary functions that already exist in the game tho, which could lead to a faster completion.

[@pikachuchujelly4119]

What prevents it from running arbitrary code? Does it have no-execute memory protection? There's always the possibility of ROP (return oriented programming) if that's the case.

[@NokiDoki]

@@pikachuchujelly4119 Basically it's running in an emulator but unlike Dolphin, that emulator can't interpret GameCube (PowerPC) code, instead it has a predetermined translation table with Switch (ARM) code for every function in the game. So if you tried to feed it arbitrary PPC code, it would crash trying to find the ARM translation, and if you gave it arbitrary ARM code it would still see it as PPC, try to find a translation, and fail.

This makes me wonder if the TAS didn’t fool around for the first seven minutes that we could theoretically get a speedrun under a way, WAY shorter time.

[@Cyphafrost]

1 minute in and Noki Doki already mentioned, gonna be a good video.

[@SpeedyGwen]

now cant wait for some tasser to program pong in sunshine with ace like they did with super mario world back in the day and then making a botw inspired demo in oot from just ace~

[@Damonnanashi]

6:22 Or use OoT to create a custom crazy modern zelda cutscene in engine on the actual console. That whole demonstration was absolutely bonkers.

Summoning salt video on the making for sure! Love the explanation!

Speed runners are my favorite type of gamer. Not sure if there's any other types.
