Was playing around with the Walk Through Walls gameshark code on my old Crystal save (heck I don't really remember anything about the save, it's my super old save from like 2006 lol). This video is actually rather old, was done via xsplit because fraps would cause the audio to desynch on VBA v24-alpha with my soundcard (I guess).

There's 3 things that I noticed can happen when going OOB from the Cerulean market exit:
Instant crash (most of the time)
?????/pentamark encounter (kinda rare, in fact it was a fluke that I held on down with WTW turned on and encounted penta that I thought I should explore this a bit more)
music distortion (very rare, only had this happen twice out of ~100 reloads)

Encountering penta oob this way seems to have corrupted my pokemon names and my items (and max item count, which crashed when I scrolled down too far). I didn't check other things because the encounter crashes when it ends (Master Ball - "The best BALL. It _never_ misses" ORLY?, maybe literally, it didn't miss, but failed to capture the pentamark)

Getting the latter two in one go was amazingly lucky on my end. I love how the soundtrack just loses it when you leave the map. I also love how this ends, with Crystals "you must have a GBA color"...in color. I honestly didn't even know that screen _was_ in color lol.
