Call me old fashioned but I miss the old days when shit like this would take decades to discover and even then it would be shrouded in doubt and mystery.

Kids today just hop on youtube and know all the secrets in a short 40 minute video full of ads sponsorships and fillers.

Wasn't Mew in the original Pokémon games found through data mining and only obtainable by hacking?

[-] else@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

Obtainable via memory exploits, if you want to call that hacking.

Memory manipulation is very much hacking. Pretty much the form of computer hacking.

[-] else@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago

When hacking is used in context of Gameboy games then I'd normally first think of using external tools such as a gameshark to directly edit memory, rather than game glitches. I'm not sure most people would say missingno glitch is hacking but it is a memory exploit.
