0:51 Basically, programs are constantly calling what we call function to do the require task for a program to execute. For example, if you want Harry to jump, you need a function to calculate the force of the jump, another one to see the state of Harry (This one is probably always running) regarding physics, and when the jump is complete a function to calculate the failing, and along side this is probably another always active function that's checking if Harry can climb a ledge. Now this are all how they are suppose to trigger, ACE it's to do an especific type of actions, to mess around with the memory of a game running in Assembly coding, to execute something from the memory that the game didn't intend. Basically you are playing to be god of the game, but if you have an amazing understanding of the game, you can teach this through simple actions to people so they can execute the things that they want. Like something i imagine happens on this run make it that Harry enters a different room then he is suppose to be able to enter, avoid encounter all together, etc. Now this isn't re-writing the game that's impossible this is playing with the games code so it doesn't work as it's intended but what you want it to do.

That is an amazing and very thorough explanation of how ACE works, I learned quite a lot while reading through this comment I have to say. So thank you for taking the time to write all of this for plebs like me to understand it better, I pinned it now so anyone else can read up on it too if they are interested 😄

It's very cool that a game as niche as this has had ACE figured out.

This game actually has a handful of surprisingly dedicated people trying to find stuff like this and to hunt for even more glitches. There is even a (now outdated) TAS speedrun for this game as one of the only HP games so that really shows those peoples dedication 😄

ACE is cooler than just overloading something, it's when you force the program to read/write wrong bits of memory outside of the ones used by correct variables and effectively reprogram it on the fly to your liking (which is why it usually crashes if don't do it precisely enough)

Thank you for the quick explanation into what ACE actually does to the game, always great to learn some new things 😄 The way you described it makes it sound so so much cooler indeed and I am honestly even more impressed now that we are able to consistently do that and effectively "reprogram" parts of the game with 100% certainty!

Sorry for the heart attack Taven xd Thankfully it's only GBC that got cut down to 20 min, the HP1 run is actually fun so it would be a shame for that to happen to it imo

In a nutshell, you buy items so that later on with the glitch, the game interprets those item values as a line of code to execute, and said line is probably something like "play cutscene with this ID", which would be the ending sequence. It's the most common ACE application called a credits warp because it usually just requires 1 instruction line. Edit: should've watched the whole thing before commenting, I don't quite know what the glitch is either lol.

I think you explained the basic idea of ACE pretty well still, even before watching the whole thing haha It's crazy how things like this are possible in multiple games and I don't even want to know how people figure out those exact values to be able to warp to the credits for example, that must take hours and hours of patient looking at the code and trial and error...

I am also currently working on the RPG type RM2K3, which is a sequel to Harry Potter 2. I hope I can finish it one day.

Heyyy those games need some love sometimes too 😂 It's mostly important for all the long multiruns including GBC games for me, will help quite a lot that those are shorter by 1h now!

Yeaah 1 GBC is definitely "special" in that regard, there are so many issues but I think they had to rush like crazy to get everything done on time when they made it so it explains all the jank and oversights...
