i saw someone online use pokemon blue arbitrary code execution to cheat in super mario land

@Fenn the game boy only crashes when you remove the cart if it's currently executing code from the cart

so they moved the instruction pointer to ram and had it busy loop there for like 10 seconds while they swapped out the cart, then ran the initialization code but with some modifications to change how the new rom played

@monorail I'm just convinced that whenever ACE is involved in something, all rules go out the window and they're just altering reality
