Open Emu: video-glitching with unintended consequences
Open Emu: video-glitching with unintended consequences from Dan Winckler on Vimeo.
In this brief screencast, I show some of the video-glitching you can do with the Open Emu NES plugin (for Quartz Composer), resulting in some intriguing unintended consequences. In a nutshell, the video glitches can be physical, i.e., Mario and Luigi can step on the random blocks we’re writing to the screen. This opens up interesting possibilities for on-the-fly level-editing, cheats, and tormenting NES sprites.
Sorry about the somewhat crunchy audio — I accidentally captured it at a low sample rate.

Sooo…. I think this is basically AWESOME. I’ve even been working on editing/creating some ROMS. I’m holding out on rendering because of the beta-ness…. but maybe I don’t have to? When I have something unique, I’ll make a point of it.

Thanks, George.
As long as you’re OK with the sometimes-broken-ness of the beta-ness, feel free to do anything you want with the plugins.
Are you actually writing your own ROMs in assembly? if so, i’d love to see what you come up with.
