If I pull the plug off will his save die
6 months old you stupid memeing faggot
kill yourself
So there's nothing wrong with the system or game? He's just mentally fucked and is scared turning it off might wipe it?
Or is there am actual glitch or something that will wipe when the power goes off?
>>334806807
Does cartridge data get deleted that easily?
>>334806807
It would be extremely shamefur
>>334806807
The game wasn't that good.
>>334806807
>Nintendo NES
>it's clearly labeled as Super Famicom
>tfw not even calling it Super NES
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
Title says NES but it is an SNES. Boycott.
bull
fucking
shit
that thing's not on a battery backup generator
they had earthquakes and blackouts at least ONCE in the last 20 years
>>334807001
ANATA NO TAME NI!!!!
>>334807091
>>334807114
They call it a SNES and point out it's Super Famicom in the first paragraph.
For those who are confused, remember that cartridge games like these needed power constantly to maintain the save data in their memory.
Most of them used batteries, which really didn't have long lifespans.
My Gameboy pokemon gold's battery died over 10 years ago.
>Nintendo NES
Ah yes, the Nintendo Nintendo Entertainment System
>>334806967
>Or is there am actual glitch or something that will wipe when the power goes off?
There's a good chance the battery in the cartridge has long since died, so chances are if he does turn it off, it will in fact wipe his saves.
Also there's no fucking way it's been on for 20 years, nip power outages are common as fuck.....although I guess it's technically possible he's a series of generators he's kept fueled for the last 20 years.
>>334807225
The brand is Nintendo
The console is called "Nintendo Entertainment System"
It's literally the equivalent of saying "Sony PlayStation"
>>334807196
Misleading title
>>334807201
So that's why he need the power on 24/7
Also my games currently collecting dust in my closet might not have save in it?
So there hasn't been a power cut or outage or anything in 20 years?
>>334806807
>If I pull the plug off will his save die
Probably not if you disconnect it from the wall. He'd have to have been using a UPS to have lasted 20 years.
>>334807381
He hasn't had to move either, it seems.
>>334807362
GSC batteries are dead after like 10 years dude. The clock drains them faster.
>2016
>not maintaining your SNES' power on 24/7 via backup generator power
>>334807180
his battery still works most likely, mine still does in Umihara Kawase. I doubt he has kept it on.
I haven't turned off my PC to stay in the rainbow 6 siege free weekend.
It sounds like some made up bullshit someone wrote for the tech illiterate clicks.
The game wouldn't allow him to actually save if it didn't have a battery and there was no reason to keep the thing on for long if he bought it brand new and that the battery was not defective. And I'm pretty sure nobody can last 20 years without any power failures, like when earthquakes and tsunamis happen
>>334807201
The batteries run out in Pokemon games because of the clock.
>>334807280
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply
>>334807635
Is this possible? Doesn't steam boot you out?
>>334807362
>>334807424
>>334807201
this is true, I found my Gold version in a box last year and excitedly put it in a GBA to find the battery died and my save was deleted.
>tfw your childhood Pokemon died in their sleep
Felt like they got taken off life support and I didn't know for years
>>334806807
>Umihara Kawase
Nigga's got some damn fine taste.
>>334807695
Only in gold and silver do they run out super duper fast since not only do they power the clock for time, but the backup ram memory. I still have my batteries working in some of my old red/blue/yellow cartridges.
Heck, I still have NES batteries working (zelda 1 and 2), and super nintendo ones. Some of the batteries last way longer than what they were suppose to, I guess it depends upon the storage conditions.
>>334807945
steam is just a link to uplay and uplay doesn't do anything. You can keep playing as long as you don't turn off the game.
No blackouts or brownouts in 20 years is 100% grade a fake.
>>334808289
Japans infrastructure is pretty tops
>>334807635
If it's constantly in the background, wouldn't you achieve the point where you paid more for electricity than for the game already?
>>334808324
yeah but all the Earthquakes, and other occasional natural disasters the power has to have gone out at least once or twice in 20 years
>>334808391
Maybe it depends on the area
>>334808346
>turning your computer off ever
how expensive is electricity where you live lol
>>334806807
Nice floor.
ahhh yes this is definitely news worthy. I'm glad this is being covered by news sources. this is really something the world absolutely needs to know about.
>>334807972
>yfw your mother is in the hospital pretty much dead but physically still alive
>your are the one who has to make the call to pull her off life support
>>334806807
How the hell he hasn't had a power outage for 20 years? Aren't there, like, earthquakes and typhoons in Japan? How about routine maintenance of the local power infrastructure?
>>334808479
>your pc consumes the same amount of electricity when playing a high fidelity game and when it's on standby desktop
Umihara Kawase isnt even a RPG, its a platformer
What on earth could be so important in those saves that he cant recreate?
>>334808515
there are thousands and thousands of shitty little internet news sites, I wouldn't really call this a news source
>>334808289
dont you know of those shits that keep pc/tv up for 20-30 minutes after brownouts?
still sounds bullshit
>>334807635
That fucking fox
>>334808597
except it doesn't lol, you use more when gaming don't be stupid
>>334808636
Probably a shitload of unlocked content and speedrun times.
>>334807074
Fuck off m8 umihara is easily one of the best sfc games
>>334808583
Jesus, dude. I'm sorry.
Everyone ITT saying it's not possible because of Earthquakes or brownoutages are retarded.
The only reason it's not possible this guy has had this game running from a house socket is because Japan blackouts from Jungle Crows (Japanese Crows) build their nests on top of utility poles which cause frequent outages.
>>334808751
This guy didn't have his SNES connected to a UPS 20 years ago.
>>334806807
He should eventually record his save data and records and upload it to his hard drive or the internet. He likely doesn't even have time to play it much anymore.
What makes that game or more importantly save data so special?
Sounds like a whole lot of trouble to go through for something that can probably be replicated in a month or so (in-game).
>no power outage for 20 years
wow, how is that even possible? Even without accident I got several power cut for maintenance issues in the past 5 years.
Where the hell do you guys live?
I haven't had a power outage in the past 15 years at the least.
>>334809790
>he uses tiled combos
get the fuck out of here you oak stumping
>>334808597
>game alt-tabbed in main menu consumes the same amount of electricity as playing.
>>334809079
Also if anyone read the fucking article he said it hasn't been powered on 20 years consecutively,sometimes if it was "emergency" circumstances. In any case, bullshit to even do a story on this. This shit isn't like the lightbulb that has been on for 100 years.
>>334808842
DON'T FUCKING SAY
And do you think having a game constantly in the background drains more resources?
>>334809927
No, but isn't it considerably more? Although it would depend on how well made it is I suppose.
>>334809790
Yeah but think of the earthquakes they have in Japan. There's probably more power outtages there
>>334808583
lol
>>334809079
>Jungle Crows (Japanese Crows) build their nests on top of utility poles which cause frequent outages.
I have some fucking birds that constantly make nests on the pole for my telephone and internet
it's infuriating.

The N in "NES" stands for Nintendo. Nintendo Entertainment System.
Why are japanese neets so fucked up?
I mean, out neets are fucked up but their neets buy used panties and shit.
Who gives a shit about a game save you finished the game that should be all the satisfaction you need.
>>334807292
No it's like saying ATM machine you dumb nigger
>>334811772
look at their society and culture, even the normal (by Japanese standards) hardworking people are fucked up

If the writer clearly knows the differences and states it in the first paragraph, why go with that dumb title?
>>334812058
clickbait, you'd attract more people with NES than Famicon
>in 20 years, every single gameboy game will no longer work unless fiddled with to replace the battery
>and yet people still oppose emulation
>>334811878
I love using the ass-to-mouth machine
>>334812446
>replacing batteries is hard
Jesus dude you literally just desolder the old one and solder the new one in. Takes less than 5 minutes.
>>334812713
and you have to buy a new battery, just to play a game you already paid for, then you need to own the actual tools to do this, which most people don't, or you can pay $200 for another system, and another copy of the game...... just to play the game you already own
get over it faggot, emulation was needed.
I have learned so much from this awful thread
>>334812865
the batteries are cheap and if you really want you can be lazy and just use a screwdriver and electrical tape
>he doesn't do his 10 year scheduled serviced on his cartridges to keep the saves alive
I thought the original Umihara Kawase didn't have anything to even save. You just go through the different paths as fast as possible. Right?
>>334808583
do it for lols
>>334808583
Most people live to see their parents die
Don't be a sad cunt about it
>>334809790
In brazil, there's a power outage at least once every few months. Some last a few minutes, others a few hours. Rarely for about a day
>>334806807
There's actually no way to prove he's telling the truth or if he's lying. But I'm willing to bet he's lying.
>>334808583
It's for the best, I already told my parents to do that for me if I go vegetable and they agreed. I'd do the same for them.
>>334807201
>My Gameboy pokemon gold's battery died over 10 years ago
Mine died like two years ago or so, and I got it brand as a new...really surprised it lasted that long, after checking forums of battery lifespan.
>>334808583
Same situation but with my dad, there's no catharsis to be found here bro, but I get ya.
>>334807424
My Silver battery died, but my Gold is still going strong. Can't believe it's been 17 years since they came out.

>believing that retarded crap
Around 25 years ago I forgot to shut down by SNES during the week-end and when I came home it had died off.
>>334809971
I can confirm this, my PC is having a problem where I can use it fine on standby and power saving mode, but as soon as I play some demanding game the screens goes crazy and it crashes.
>>334808583
What a waste of money and resources, turn her off you fucking amerifat
>>334807280
>what is UPS
>20 years without blackouts or power failures
Sure thing.
>>334815180
something he wouldn't have had 20 years ago
>>334810047
That depends on how good the game is written. It can be just a little bit more, might be 100W more.
>>334808479
Let me guess, your parents are paying all the bills?
>>334815461
nope, power is cheap where I live
>>334815548
Same here.. like 15 eurobucks a month, though people get suspicious when you use a lot of power and will literally ask you if you're growing pot or something.

I live in a condo where I just pay $100/month for utilities. Believe me, I'm using up all the gas, water and electricity for the last 5 years and they don't bat an eye.
>>334816386
many buildings still use squat toilets in Japan, sure they have lots toilets with bells and whistles on them but no real advancements, just adding existing things to the toilet
do you really need a toilet that plays music, has heating or glows in the dark?
the only thing more advanced is that so many of their western style toilets have integrated bidets but they didn't invent the bidet
>>334816142
With how quickly they modernized is that really any surprise?
I mean fuck, they started in 1854 where they were still swinging swords at each other like it was the 12th century and participated in the first world war as the dominant power in Asia and in the second world war as a great power. That's 1914 and 1941.
It's no exaggeration to say Japan has always been in the top 4 ever since we slapped them and told them to trade with us.
>>334816818
A glow in the dark toilet actually sounds really useful...
>>334816818
The music is to hide piss and shit noises so that women wouldn't waste water.

Fake. Japan instituted rolling blackouts after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami due to power shortages when Fukushima Dai-ichi and Fukushima Dai-ni were taken offline.
>>334817691
what you're talking about is an Otohime, it plays sounds to cover the sound of bodily functions since Japanese women are embarrassed about this, they would flush too often and waste water
what I was talking about is some toilets play music that is supposed to be relaxing so its easier to go
>>334808583

>>334818782
They weren't common then in the home, why would a Japanese nerd in 1995 have one?
>>334819013
Because like most humans, he is aware of a concept called "The Future" and planned accordingly?
>>334819013
Because they were, and are, common as fuck amongst enthusiasts.

>>334819246
Even in a quote from the guy he says "If the power is turned off, I’ll lose all my replay data. Probably.".

they always had to restart
