So that’s why the world map scenes use special control codes. Stop hiding behind the dialogue box, Marth.

A bugmeme for ants is pretty neat.
Have you ever been so worried that you forget how speech works and start speaking in ballista icons?
I sure have.

Expand names past the limit at your peril, or otherwise your plans to include Dragon Shields will turn into Dragon Shiel1s.
Oh, and then they start glowing if you overflow too badly.

Now I feel a little left out that I’ve never had any fun glitches happen yet. Even my hacking problems are all mundane and unamusing. But at least I can live vicariously through this thread. ;_;

Some fun ones from MAFC development.
That’s a very red title screen you’ve got there, blurry blob.
The diagonal strips of Magvel peeking through are the most interesting part.
No, don’t stand on the literal world map, guys.

The first releases of Project Exile shipped with a rare glitch that allowed you to do this to your menus:
It got taken away as soon as it was discovered, but the Chaos Menus will forever remain in my heart.
edit: now in an actually viewable size

Taste the rainbow, boi.(I wonder how that could happen tho. Are the FE5 menus that easily broken during hacking?)

The menus are pretty resilient, but this is an innocuous change that snowballed pretty spectacularly.
We changed a byte somewhere that made it so you’d start on Window Pattern 2 when starting a new game. Zane warned us that it was very hacky, but we never had any issue with it… until the final version’s launch.
Turns out you can (accidentally) keep incrementing the window pattern to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7… and so on, and get to “patterns” that are incoherent meshes of data.
This is pattern #16 or so, and the changing colors are from changing the RGB values of a thing that has random data for a palette, and random data for its default RGB.

You know, I wouldn’t mind having this menu style as an actual feature… The way the palettes cycle is… hypnotizing.
Now that we’ve figured out what causes it, it’s pretty easy to reproduce, tbh.
(Unheadered) Change the byte at $01FBE6 to $EE.
Let the full intro play out a random number of times.
Stop the intro by pressing Start during one of the map sequences (like Finn riding through the rain, Olwen fighting…)
Start a new game, and enjoy wacky menus
Here’s a couple more I got. That second one is pretty great too.
