Hi, I'm new here. I've been playing smb lately on an emulator (emuhawk). While I was practicing the bullet bill glitch, a string of numbers appeared on the top left corner of the screen. Anybody knows what is it? Edit: Also, how do I add pictures?

Do you mean this one?

I think darbian mentioned once that he got it in practice. Sockfolder actually figured out (while trying to understand the mysterious lag frame in 8-2) that it was caused by some sort of “buffer overflow from updating the score”. According to Sockfolder's comments in darbian's chat: if you add 500 to your score right before hitting the Bullet Bill and the digit under the 'R' is a 4 while the digit under the 'I' is not 0, you spawn the line of numbers. Please correct me if i'm wrong, because sometimes i couldn't spawn the line of numbers from the above savestate in the video.

That is exactly what happened. @Eigensystem Thank you for having sorted that out. I thought it was something interesting.
