Right, and the first thing I thought of was 2K for that, since they made the announcement.

The first part of the clue relates to Mario Brothers, the Italians, since Donkey Kong (DK) is the simian.

As for the codec not found clue, I've been stumped for a while on that one. I've tried at least 50 different variations for redeeming the code, and so far nothing...

What do you think goes after DK ? 64 ? I don't think DKC3 (for example) would work, but I'm certainly wrong Smile

I was thinking of DCT, because "VC-1 is an evolution of the conventional DCT-based video codec design", says wikipedia

It would likely be DKMB (Italian/Simian tables turned, meaning reversed from that order) MB stands for Mario Brothers.

I also checked just to be safe, that there was no tsilon.wmv on the site. (tried thereisnolist.ca/tsilon.wmv)

I really want the code, but I'll help out.
Its DKJR

In Donkey Kong JR, Mario takes DK hostage...

@Duke: Nope, but umdesch4 posted this on the last page:

Oh and as an aside, in the RIFF header of that .wav file there's a BSI metadata chunk (between the usual 'fmt' and 'data' chunks) with a single defined field:

INFO IART (basically "Artist/Advertiser Name") of tsilon

Obviously "no list" backwards.

Just pointing it out in case it ends up being useful later, although I'm guessing it was just another clue to reverse the audio.


Might help you guys Very Happy I have been thinking about this code today, but I don't know any of my boyfriend's login info to any of his consoles to try anything I came up with, so I thought I would just help out whoever is still working on this. Hope that helped a little if any?

New One :

Connect to Kinect? DECLINED. Load *DS UPDATE /// #LATE
343 EXECUTE PROJECT * // STATUS: Unknown
LAUNCH DEXFILE - LOAD 150 UNITS. DIMENSIONS: *

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Thoughts :
Nintendo 3DS update, announced for June 6, has been delayed
343 Industries is the studio working on Halo 4
DexFiles are executable files for Android OS (Dalvik Executable File)

Strange thing is, there's 3 stars in the clues, but only 2 missing numbers in the code. Weird.

umdesch4 : it's true, I don't know which * goes in the serial...
Anyway, the 3rd clue might be related to Ragnarok. Apparently, they count the "experience" of the characters in Dex units, and 150 seems to be some kind of maximum. I'm just stumped about the "dimensions" part, but there are some references to dimensions in the fanfiction revolving around it...

I thought I should let you know that this year they are planing something for next year.

Wav file decoded

Today there is this text:

GG7711.wav
AUDIO PARAMETER TESTING // secondary display
FREQUENCY SCAN - SIN(WII^u)12
_file.smash // HAL ENCRYPTION FRAGMENT

The file is http://thereisnolist.ca/GG7711.wav

Its spectrogram (in Sonic Visualiser) resembles a new code. I shrinked it in Paint to make it more readable.



The code may be XXBCW5SBK6THWIFB

I know that Nintendo Points are 16 digits, but I don't think you can use letters... Anyone have an idea what it might be used for ?

It's for iTunes. Someone download it please because I don't have iTunes and the iTunes website does not work correctly.

So.

The code is XXBCW5SBK6THWJFB. Note the "J" I misunderstood as an "I".

Only Canadian users can redeem it. I'm in Hungary, so I get an error message. If someone managed to grab it, please tell us what it contains.

Whut?! It seriously wasn't redeemed yet?
I just tried the code on a whim and it was redeemed for $15 iTunes credit. Nifty Smile Also, thanks Smile
