Gradual Decline - A quick Gameboy glitch ROM by nitro2k01

This ROM explores the idea of what would happen if you wrote random data to random IO registers and random positions in video RAM. If you like audiovisual glitches, this is for you. The ROM generates randomized graphics, and bleeps, bloops and static. Sometimes it will even produce tones that are vaguely melodic, even if dissonant.

How to use

Burn to a flash cartridge and run. It’s a unique experience each time you run it. Even though this will not perceivably change the output of the ROM, you may press buttons to seed external entropy into the random number generator.

Wicked!  Grabbing the rom now. Does it go on forever or will it eventually "break"?

If by break, you mean repeat, yes it will repeat after maybe a few minutes.
If by break, you mean crash, no it won't crash. Maybe if you rip out the cartridge it will crash. Maybe.

Man, this is very cool. I'm playing it on My OldBoy emulator with slow clock speeds and various shaders and pallets.

I held down the A button in an emulator and it seemingly crashed after a bit.

That said, this is rad.

Which emulator?? Note that it can sometimes appear to be dead for a couple of seconds.
