Wii VC Round-to-Zero: Difference between revisions

In the Wii Virtual Console, it is possible to raise the moving platform at the beginning of [[Bowser in the Fire Sea|BitFS]], due to a rounding error that is unique to the Wii Virtual Console. It is believed this happens because the Wii doesn't round-to-nearest with floating point numbers, as the N64 does, but instead rounds-to-zero. Since the moving platform is below 0, it tends towards it. It is possible to [[Abbreviations|DR]] in about 8 days, and it is possible to [[Vertical Speed Conservation|VSC]] with a lava boost in 3 days.

The glitch was discovered by '''Andru!''' when he went to sleep leaving the Wii powered on for several hours in Bowser in the Fire Sea (BitFS), and found that the oscillating platforms had left their original positions.^{<ref>''Bowser in the Fire Sea in 0x A Presses?

Currently, only the blue moving platforms in BitFS and LLL on Wii Virtual Console are known to have this property. All other consoles such as the original N64, WiiU Virtual Console, and Shindou do not have this rounding error.
