Merry Christmas, GBAtemp! Today may be a very Merry Christmas for those that like to dig into leaked data, as the latest files from the ongoing Gigaleak--part 8, to be exact--have made their way online, supposedly. According to those who have already gotten their hands on the illegally-obtained files, within the .zips lurks a beta build for Pokemon: Let's Go Eevee as well as a major bit of data: the source code for the Mariko BootRom, with classified files straight from NVIDIA. As always, sharing these files is against GBAtemp's ToS, but feel free to discuss them!

Some Summon Knight Swordcraft 3 source code would be pretty cool, just sayin... >_>

Weird, since mostly people want those illegal files to play illegal files.

Nothing weird about that, that's just how the hacking scene rolls.

Merry Christmas, Nintendo. Hope you like the gift.

 

[MurraySkull]

Why so specific? Hoping for source code to a specific game?

Because there might be a certain Super Mario Kart proto in there.

Like, demo'd or used in a promo ad or competition or something?

Sigh, all these leaks and still we don't have the info of what it would take to bypass, change, or remove the 300 title limit for either the 3DS or Wii U.

I'm willing to bet it's hardcoded in the OS kernels.

Now this is nice!
And you all can hate me for what I am about to say, but Nintendo just deserved all of this!
It's punishment for them for being such big assholes this and the past years, whit all the shut downs and take downs of so many fan projects.
I mean...they have the right and power to do so, but it doesn't mean that they NEED TO do it...
I hope, they get hacked even more.

I stand with you on this 100%. They also tease games that they never intend to release. (Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, BotW2, etc.. )

 

[Cylent1]

4 years now and still no theme and folder support. Fuck You Nintendo!

 

[masagrator]

Well, better hope this source code matches what is really used as much as possible. Dource codes may be from before fusee-gelee was patched, so some portions of it may be outdated for patched Switches.

 

[BaamAlex]

nah this is pretty much useless don't get hyped

Or maybe not. Yeah the end user can't do anything with that stuff. But maybe some dudes on the internet finds exploits like fusée gelée. That would be nice.

 

[Attila13]

Yep!
Right there with you. Even if they don't release them now, or in the foreseeable future...an update at least would be nice...

Hahaha come on... BoTW 2 was recently announced give them some time

Using Lets Go games as a base for rom hacks would be insane lol

Remember again, what Gamecube game let people hack Gamecubes? A Sega one.

Nintendo safety seems to vary. The Nes had protections but those could be bypassed and they became useless when the console itself was cloned.

The Super Nintendo was their most protected console ever (in practice) while Sega lost at least ten million unit sales due to clones. If that seems a lot do remember it pales to the number of Nes clones that could still be bought even during tbe early PS2 era!

The Nintendo 64 did quite well, it was not that pirated and emulation was hard. That has come to bite Nintendo in the ass since even today there are some Nintendo games that can be fully emulated correctly. So that's why Virtual Console is not that big on Nintendo 64 games.

The Gamecube was pirated yes but the use of non Standard disks and the small amount of English releases meant most people did not bother. And most people just hacked it to use legally bought games from other countries.

The Wii... wow that ine was cracked really hard and had like 98% compatibility with Gamecube games?

The DS.... the Flashcards.

The DSi... barely sold compared to the DS so it did not really matter how long it took to hack it for real.

The 3DS... uh.

The Wii U... Don't care.

The Switch?

 

[MaskedMarvel]

No idea what any of that means but HOORAY!!!

 

[Adran_Marit]

Any of you waiting for new exploits from this don't get your hopes up. Scires won't touch this with a 50ft pole, no clean room reverse engineer would, cause the moment they did it wouldn't be clean room anymore

 

[DinohScene]

Hah, I'm glad I freed up some space for this.

 

[ZoNtendo]

Better wait for SciresM reaction to this, he seemed pretty sure that no more software exploits would be available, and if anyone knows switch modding, it's him.

he probably won't answer, and it probably won't matter since he is not the only one working on those kind of thing anyway

 

[johnsnow]

SciresM doesn't need to download these. He already had these leak files back in 2018 from Wack0 (he knows him very well).
