You've made a good point. I have basically rediscovered the wheel...I didn't search hard enough to find it, I guess. Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk.

I've always wondering what caused the "Old man on the roof"-glitch. Suggestions? There seems to be many glitches when opening the menu, and this is one of them. I know it has to do with loading things into RAM, font, etc. But I just can't understand why a character would suddenly appear like in the corner of a map? lol.

Also, when moving around in RBY, the NPC's never stands still, they sort of "rumble" when the screen moves. Like they were trying to balance on a patch of ice. You get the grip? In GEN I, there seems to be this glitch, but not in GEN 2. They obviously fixed the code to work better and flow more nicely in the next generation of games.

In yellow, this was never corrected. Instead they just did a cheap adjustment by relocating the "old man" to the southern part of the island.

Damn... I'm slow. :p

Anyways, interesting. So the game is trying to update the overload sprites, but the programmers missed to program the CALL, hence the guy shows up on the roof? That makes sense. There's another guy on the cyckling road route-gate and some others (don't remember which ones).

Still makes me wonder why they didn't fixed this in Yellow. Yeah Yeah, time constraints. But STILL.

It was? Then why did they bother switching the location of the old man on Cinnabar Island? Seems a bit unecessary if they really fixed the code.

Oh, that video, now I'm getting nostalgic lol.
