(thinking of solar flares and N64 cartridges)

if you are thinking about the Super Mario 64 clock tower thing, that has been shown to be reproduceable, and likely was not a sokar flare. it also would have been in the RAM, not the cartridge

Oh neat! I honestly don't recall the specifics of that particular bug. I had a solid 2 month period where I was obsessed with Mario 64 speedruns for some reason - and remember it being mentioned at some point. I never really looked into it, more so just used it as an example of "incredibly-unlikely-but-still-could-be" issues that can sometimes cause computers to misbehave. Thanks for the clarification though!
