Sega programmer hides message for rippers on GD-ROM

Sorry in advance for going off topic, but I take it you're referring to the untitled second track on Aphex Twin's Windowlicker EP, more commonly known as Equation? As something of a fan when it comes to his music, I can assure you there are plenty of other examples in his music than just that one! Here's a hint: try the drukqs album...

 

Yeah I've seen a few others, Venetian Snares cat pictures was a cool one too (can't remember the name of the song though =/ )

edit: sorry to go OT.

If we can't ship this puppy by then, we might as well be herding yaks. I'm glad it's getting weird again. I didn't understand it when it wasn't weird. The C switch statement: Mmmmmm! Chock full of nooses! That would be like crossing the streams or something. Mmmm... Chicago style pizza! I've got my blankie, I'm good to go. A lot of this job is mental. "Mostly clockwise, sometimes reverses..." What's the sound of one luma clamping? I just wanna be in the app! Oh, rough and woeful music which we have! Cause it to sound! The Yak is a delightful creature... rather like a visit with a bovine Confucious Nobody might know anything. I don't know, somehow it just works. How do you tempt a Yak? Chocolate covered espresso beans! We're not the engineers you're looking for. Move along, move along. The little cartoon man is messing with my head! Speed kills, but sync maims. It's compatible with it's legacy. Twix bars: A brand-new bad habit! Many Yaks were exploited during the creation of this product. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of nuclear weapons in this product. I'm concerned because the cow sounded pretty threatening. I am NOT a mad cow! I don't care who's on the other end of the phone... Hang it up! I have deniable plausibility. Note to the galley: Romulan Cosmos no longer to be served on school nights! Carrot and a footprint. Asteriskified? Where's a single Yak to go now that the Edit Bar is gone? Aaargh, I forgot to pay the rent! When you have a car that's that uncool, you just gotta drive stupid. Did it happen with yesterday's umbrella? When can I do color correction by the pool? Are you filling his head with chocolate? The lights going off at midnight, it's almost like a slap in the face... Hey, stupid, it's tomorrow! Yeah, that's covered under item #152. I was probably the last one to see him alive. We're not play'in poker here. All I want for Christmas is a stack trace! Think PIKE! Don't look at me. They're not my flying monkeys. What, were you expecting "Moo" or something? This is not a Yak Bite. Somehow I can't convince myself that this isn't all just one big hack. At least Spock had stone knives and bear skins! It's a single malt problems. Everyone drops it the first time. OK... who's job is it to write the Flush Wizard? Controlled evil is not necessarily bad. Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking? I think so, Brain... but can you do that with a Yak? It's like a gob of peanut butter for the roof of your brain. Savor the unbridled complexity that we've crafted for you. Look, there's no such thing as a 'Clacker'! Don't panic - everything is under control. There is no fire. Have a great day. Get rid of the spasmic "U". That's my fault originally, but many others are to blame since. The disco ball is spinning, but no one's home. There were many lessons learned during the early years. That movie had plot holes big enough to drive whole other movies through! Please refrain from sucking. I'm highly in favor of putting in code to do stuff. I want to see lots of deliminators. Can I get that for free? Wrong thinking will be punished. Right thinking will be as quickly rewarded. All right, Who replaced the Oscillation OverThruster with an AutoSyncDetector? Will, you're scaring the children. Didn't this used to be purple? Hellooooo! I'm trying to edit here! Remember-- thingies are free! ...and so forth and so on... That and a folded napkin will level a chair. Oops, It works! Free drink? That just cost me $200! Don't lick your zipper. I went to pull it out and it was like three feet long. Kinda cool; kind of a hack. Like so much of this business. Salad is a lot of work! The opposite of "weird" is "boring". Do or do not. There is no don't. Thirty quatloos says it crashes during launch! Check your Caps Lock key. ...by an expert. Worse, a committee of experts. There's a disease going around in QA right now. Stay away from those guys. What? You were expecting a paper clip? Personally, I _like_ editing under a tree! We're going to leave the underwear in the tutorial. Ok, Nobody prints, Nobody gets hurt! Please hold for the next available consumer. Cows didn't have dynamite and steam shovels. This is so lame it hurts. She's speaking in tongues. I was the innocent victim of a drive by coding. It's all wired up... we just have to turn it on. Where's the 'Poof' manager?It's the international symbol for "Your zipper's open". There exists, but you can't get there from here. There was a memo? That's a little too non-virtual for this group. These buttons are... Bonk with Wrench, I Love Lightning, and Enjoy Fireworks from Lakefront. It also doesn't read French novels. I am SO 29.97 all the way! Well, 7 is more than 6. Two "its" can be a "them". I assume you stayed away from the snapping turtles in the pool. I've been here before You can call me Bruce the Wonder Yak.

 

Must be one apple programmer loosing his mind. Must be difficult making a video editing program.

 

In Sanrio Smash Ball for the Super Famicom there's an English story in the actual hex of the game yet this entire game is in Japanese ! It's as if they were going to release it in English speaking areas at one point. Oh, and it's one of the smallest Super Famicom games at a piddling 2mbit.

Oddly enough, someone discovered that the DS version of Dragon Quest IV had a fully translated English script hidden in the game. Using an Action Replay or hex editor would allow you to switch from the Japanese script to the English one. It's a really strange script, since the English is written to reflect Scottish and Russian accents...

Maybe they did this because they knew some hacker might discover it inside the rom. So they took what was probably already a rough draft translation switched it into a difficult to understand dialect in order to prevent mass piracy, without having to remove anything and only reinsert changed text.

Luckily, DQIV gets released in North America in about 3 months!

 

well check the pink floyd part of my signature... there are wispers during the dark side of the moon album, really hard to hear.

 

The most famous easter egg IMO is one that was stopped:

In the late 80s an Amiga programmer who was shall we say in disconformity with Commodore's business strategy made a easter egg that read something like "COMMODORE IS FUCKING DESTROYING THE AMIGA".

The easter egg was detected, but just before the release of the product (the Amiga 2000 if I remember correctly) and they had to recall thousands of units and get them reprogrammed.

Obviously that joke wasn't cheap...
