Sonic AU.txt

The folder mentoined in this pasta is downloadable here: www.mediafire.com/download/hcvhxbrdwlkr3mx/AU_.rar

This happened back in 2010. I had just downloaded "Fusion" a Sega Genesis/Sega CD/Sega 32x emulator. I already had real Megadrive but i wanted to have more games on it. I searched for Sonic CD For Sega CD. I didn't find a place to download it for decent download speed so i had to keep looking. I found website with downloadable ROMs for sega cd. I searched for Sonic CD but only thing found was a hack by some guy. I had to download it because there was nothing else.

The folder i dowloaded was called AU_. It contained SonicCD.bin and AU_.txt files. I opened .txt file, but it had only AU_.txt Added by GTAguy234scrambled text and binary code on top. The binary translated to Robot36Robot36Robot36 repeated four times. I thought what did this have to do with anything. I gave up thinking because it didn't make any sence.

I finally opened the Sonic CD on emulator and started playing. Eveything was normal, no distorted music, no glitchy backrounds or srambled sprites. Game played normally for an while before freezing. It sounded like pulling cartridge out of the console while playing. I reseted the emulator and game started with no title screen which i did not notice at first. The game was normal before i jumped. When i jumped Sonic jumped really high and flew across screen. "Illegal Instruction" happened like in sonic 1. I said "what's wrong with this thing?" and reseted again. Now things started to get weird.

At the title screen music was distorted and missed some parts. In game the glitches were less awful than in title screen. Sonic sprite was messed up and so was the ground, music was normal this time. I got to end of the Palmtree Panic Zone 1 but then game freezed again with buzzing noise. I once again reseted and game went straight to Paltree Panic Zone 2. I was fighting with eggman when game glitched me throught ground and got glitched screen. Some thing flashed on screen for a moment, but i was too frustrated with the game to notice this.

I reseted and got a message that stated "Fusion.exe has stopped working". The emulator crashed to desktop and the Au_ folder was still on screen. SonicCD.bin had turned to AU_.wav. I wasn't sure to listen it or not but the curiosity got the best of me so i listened it. It had hi-piched screeching sound in it. I did some research about it and found about SSTV signals.

SSTV or Slow-Scan Television is a picture transmission method used mainly by amateur radio operators, to transmit and receive static pictures via radio(read more here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow-scan_television).

I was able to find program(RX-SSTV) that helped me to decode the signal, but it was not easy. You see, SSTV signals have diffirend families and every one are different. I had no idea what my family was so i got a clue from binary. The Robot36 is SSTV family, so i converted the picture and what i saw was shocking.

It was hard to make out, because the signal was distorted, but i could see it was the same picture that had flashed Sonic's Death. He is in right corner.Added by GTAguy234druing the glitch in the game. Picture showed sonic hanging in tree with no other arm. There was some blood but it was not easy to make out in such of blurry picture.

After that i stashed the folder to my hard drive and will not touch it never again. Reason i didn't post this 3 years ago was simple: I didn't know about creepypastas yet and the folder is downloadable from the link on top.
