Weird, he came off as a friendly poo poo talker and outgoing person literally every other time I've seen Trihex doing anything. I guess anyone can take the wrong thing personally under occasional conditions. Or someone is making poo poo up, because Internet

Crazy poo poo starts around 3:00.

Is there, like, an author's page where they describe what the poo poo they just did?

I read the author's notes, and I still don't get it. Did the ghost's AI become an item, which makes everything go bonkers?

I've been looking at this a little bit. Basically, what happens is:
You blow the whistle which wants to create actor $5E. There are no blank spots and the index underflows and starts trying to write it into the state for the ghosts. The ghost is in state 0 during the acceleration period after being stopped. Blowing the whistle at this time makes the ghost state $5E, which causes the ghost AI to jump to $0602.

From $0602, it executes some instructions based on the note in the music (I think), and tends to hit a JMP $0000 instruction (after some side effects).

At $0000, there are a bunch of mostly fixed values (i.e. fixed instructions). It executes a couple of instructions based on Link's X, Y. Then it moves into a chaotic section that I don't know how to manipulate yet and in the movie, jumps to $EC6E and from there, back into the normal game play without any side effects other than the game being totally screwed up.

I can confirm that. To be more specific, Link's X position is the address of an ASL instruction, and the Y position is a new instruction (might be useful).

The "chaotic section" that you are talking about is probably the area from $0018 to $0024 which looks like RNG. The bits for the 13 bytes are just shifted to the right and the leftmost bit (MSB of $0018) is determined by XORing bit 6 of the first byte and bit 6 of the second byte together (which is done before the shifting):


Executing music data seems like it would be really unlikely to always execute the JMP $0000, but it actually isn't that unlikely, because there is always a 4C 00 00 (JMP $0000). The code just has to survive to there, which isn't too unlikely. The fact that a code that makes the game continue was executed IN THE RNG (or whatever those crazy addresses are) is really unlikely... (well, due to the shifting of the crazy addresses, the JMP $EC6E does indeed pop up at 11 different times, but still, actually getting those values in the first place is unlikely...)

Edit: Oh and of course... the JMP $EC6E which is 4C 6E EC in bytes isn't actually 4C 6E EC to begin with. It is actually 4C 6E F6, but the UNDEFINED instruction (1F) at $0614 actually shifts $0021 one bit to the left, which happens to be the F6 which is shifted to EC... wow.

There's discussion of the glitch in the main Zelda thread. As I understand it, filling the screen with actors then trying to create the flute tornado alters the ghost's AI state, which causes it to execute code based on the music, then based on XY positions of Link and an enemy, then based on the current RNG. The run sets it up so this creates a bunch of items including one that quickly warps between screens, and another that executes code based on the X positions of actors. He gets to the last dungeon so the credits are loaded, then sets up Link and a Petra in a way that the ACE item calls the credits.

I can confirm that. To be more specific, Link's X position is the address of an ASL instruction, and the Y position is a new instruction (might be useful).

There's something oddly entertaining about seeing a multi-hour speedrun fail at the last boss because of a small mistake, ruining a PB that was minutes ahead.
