Garbled Outlands Title Screen
by on (#51443)
Hi all,

I'm wondering if anybody knows why no matter what I do, Zelda Outlands' title screen is garbled... A screenshot of the glitch is at the bottom of this post.

As you can see, the topmost row of tiles is absent, and the bottom row of tiles is all screwed up... Is this just because of how emulators mimic the NES, or does this happen on a real cart with a burned Outlands ROM too?

Is there a version of Outlands without this glitch, or a way to fix it even?

Are Astyanax and ImageFight also garbled during play?

It could just be the hack, maybe on whatever emulator they made it with the top and bottom rows were not drawn. I don't have the hack so I can't test it out but I doubt it's a unique glitch to Nestopia and more likely a glitch in the hack itself.
