[Bug]: Donkey Kong 64 Random Teleporting/Respawning
Expected behavior?
In Donkey Kong 64, movement and gameplay should be normal, like on official hardware.
Actual behavior?
During gameplay, seemingly at random, Donkey Kong will suddenly respawn at the beginning of the area he is currently in.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Boot the game and start a new file. Let the intro play.
- When you take control of Donkey Kong, leave his treehouse.
- Outside, start trying to move around.
- After enough movement, Donkey Kong will suddenly disappear and a leave/enter area transition will occur. When the transition ends, Donkey Kong will suddenly be back outside his treehouse.
Alternatively...
- Watch or skip the DK Rap and let the title screen demos play.
- Unintended behavior will start to occur, during the demos, causing desyncs in the Kong's movements and the room they're in compared to the intended demo sequence on an actual N64. (For example, Diddy will spawn in a void in his demo, and during Chunky's demo, he will phase through the side of the cave walls and fall to his death)
Error messages?
