In regards to the reddit post, I think it is likely the PM was involved, as he recently tweeted (@mogwai_poet) about the subreddit /r/isthisfrogfractions2, likely indicating he is following our progress and searching sites like reddit for players of the ARG. He has also tweeted about Flash decompiling and 'butts'

EDIT: Also, his location on twitter is Berkeley, so there's a good chance this UC Berkeley 'meet-up' is legit / not another rick roll.

Does this sound awfully like a Chef program to anyone else? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chef_(programming_language)#Chef)

I'm too lazy to find out, but I thought I would chip in. You guys are a lot better than me at this ARG anyway Smile

It seems that a Chef program requires 'ingredients' to be defined at the start of the program, e.g.

So, is anyone here actually physically able to go to Berkeley Campus in April? That seems like its the next major clue, so it would be good to know that someone here can attend and document what happened.....

The gameboy ROM rick-roll might not be a dead end.

Running the full brainfuck code in a different interpreter and with an empty stdin outputs the following:

The bottom looks a lot like a secret code for gameboy, where the white / black squares correspond to A and B buttons.

I live in Berkeley, so I will check out campus on the 5th and report back... but the more the merrier!

I can't find any assignment of those squares that makes anything special happen. I did discover that pressing START seems to stop the ROM from running, requiring a reset of VBA, though. Probably just me.

Is there any way to decompile ROMs? That'd be the easiest way to confirm it as a dead end, if it's doable.

If it helps, here's a direct link to the GBA ROM file.

(You'll probably have to change the three letter extension from .rom to .gba to get the emulator to run it. I had no luck getting anything new from it.)

Is there a way of decompiling ROMs in a similar fashion to .swf? If there is, it would be useful to make sure it is a dead end.

EDIT: sorry for the duplicate question, I didn't see kingbobson's post above.

Probably clutching at straws here, but as we're talking about ROM files... is that C64 PRG file just an image, or could there be something more?
