i accidentally softlocked myself :D made it to the end without having realized there was a sword, but i needed one more bomb. pressed “New Game” after Yet Another Death and … spawned on the wrong screen, right atop some trees! but after a fresh reboot all was good. Like has been pointed out, I too experienced graphical corruption at one point, but not to a game-breaking degree. finished it off, with a sword this time!, and i’ve got to say that was a fun little mini zelda-style game

i can reproduce it, but i’m not sure what a minimal set of steps would be.
- Trigger the graphical corruption. This happens consistently upon entering Raven’s Gate, but I’ve had it happen on random deaths before too.
- Die
- Press “New Game” instead of “Continue”
- Press start on the title screen
It will begin to load as normal, but then I end up here:
I usually use Nintaco but verified that the same happens in RetroArch’s version of Mesen
Ok. I thought It happened without that graphical corruption, it's probably the same issue of memory corruption. Thanks for help Pineberry Fox.
