| Arbitrary Code Execution TAS like Triforce% or this Pokemon

|
| I would say even some non-ACE ones like this Brainage TAS[2]
| are demos :D

| Since I'm not finding context, I think this is the gist:
|
| OoT modders programmed custom stuff into the game by using
| arbitrary code execution exploits, to create content that is
| generally considered to be "rumored" in the game, but also
| obviously modern stuff like BoTW demake cutscenes and Twitch
| messages.
|
| EDIT: actually, I think the demonstration starts by showing off
| legit "hidden feature" stuff existing in the original OoT game
| (enabling a debug mode), but quickly gets creative.
|
| This is _not_ a speedrun of an actual beta version of OoT (it's
| far more interesting).

| about speedruns.

|
| Reading the article helped unpack this particularly egregious
| title, yet it let me baffled because surely websites aren't
| limited by column inches like the papers of yore. While no doubt
| those past constraints have birthed wonderful examples of brevity
| like "Foot Heads Arms Body" and the like, these days I see no
| purpose in giving one's readers a mild sense of aphasia for no
| reason.

| The title is fine if you're in the audience who knows the two
| proper nouns and then the common GDQ concept of a "showcase"
| and the tech concept of a beta. Which for The Click is most of
| their readers.

| The actual article's title is fine for me, it's just this HN

| The submitter had to shorten it to fit HN's 80 char limit.
| We've shortened it differently now.

| For anyone wondering, "Foot Heads Arms Body" originates from a

| leader Michael Foot traveled to Brussels to chair a European
| Parliament lobby group pushing for nuclear disarmament.

| I still think "Iraqi Head Seeks Arms" is a better headline.

| If you've played OOT64 before, I highly recommend watching the
| original twitch video (linked above by clarkrinker) before
| reading the theclick.gg article or watching any of the
| explainer YouTube videos, for the experience of seeing the beta
| content revealed in real-time.
|
| If you've seen any video game glitch videos with arbitrary code
| execution before, you can probably skip ahead to 13:07:30 if
| you want to save 10 minutes, past the intro and glitch setup
| where they're giving some basic background about how it works.
|
| After watching the video, in addition to the explanation videos
| that others have linked, you can check out this official FAQ
| from the showcase creators: https://gettriforce.link/faq

| I think if possible, the original game with and n64 controller
| is best because the controls are weird if you're not using the
| original controller.
|
| The 3ds port is probably the best official HD version of the
| game.
|
| The pc port has oodles of improvements that kind of change the
| game a lot.
|
| Either way emulation if probably the best bet.
