This video shows the actual ten seconds of gameplay that produced the plot above. Can you reverse engineer the meaning of any of the sparklines?pic.twitter.com/nNxi3mcsIC

1. Take a snapshot of the Nintendo RAM every frame (60fps). 2. Plot each address in memory as a sparkline.pic.twitter.com/OFg2XA9rGY

There should be 600 frames, but you got 8x33 lineplots, what does the poster represent exactly? And how do you translate an 8bit memory address into such a line? Looks like ot got much more resolution that it's supposed to.
-
Each sparkline has 600 data points. The NES had 2K of RAM, but much of the RAM went unchanged, hence the 8x33 addresses shown.
-
Thank you! And how came the 600 to be? I'd expect more like 512 per spike or any other binary based number...
-
60 frames per second, 10 seconds of data displayed...
-
I see, thank you!

Have you done this before? I’m recalling someone doing something similar a few years back and selling prints of it... either way, super awesome

Are you thinking of this maybe https://benfry.com/mariosoup/

Ohhhh I think so!
-
I first did this a year ago, so yeah it's not brand new and you may have seen it.

This is super cool. Did you see the speculative execution video that was floating around yesterday?

I did not

3. Import sparklines into wavetable synthesizer

I second this
