Christmas Nintendo Gigaleak reportedly contains Mariko BootRom source code and Let's Go beta

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!
 
I mean, technically it was public the moment Wack0 shared all that stuff with others. We are not even close to the estimated 1 TB he got out of over 2. 2021 may be an interesting leak year to come.
 
Yet some people had no problems selling modchips until they went to jail.

My point is no *respectable dev will touch them

i know that but strange that these documents are dated in 2016...before the release of the switch

Not to me,they have had early design and prototype concepts as far back as 2014. Though back then they would have been using the nivida dev stuff if they even had hardware back then
 
Designing the mainboard and writing the software takes time. Even if you use off-the-shelf parts.
 
Same here. In particular, I am interested in stuff relating to Summer CES 92 as a certain Super Mario Kart proto may be in there.
Yeah, that would be sick! I'm really interested in the original Super Castlevania 4 beta myself. I would go insane if that was leaked!
 
i love how people go like "lol, how many times is Nintendo getting hacked" when this is just part of the same leak we've seen pretty much all year.

the reason why i find it strange is that they have documents of MARIKO in 2016.....before the release of the switch in general........why bring a console out and a year later a slightly better version of it if you have plans and documents of both versions before the general release?

sorry if i ask stupid questions but my knowledge about technical things is not really great....i am no programmer or something advanced... (i only know how to use and install hacks/ mods but cant programm a bit xD)

Ooh all the people bashing Nintendo because they protect their property. Lets face it, if you have you own company, do you wnat people to steal all the hard work that you do? Eeveryone is holding on the "CFW for preserving my copies and for homebrew" But lets people be honest, they care about playing all kind of games with CFW. So yes Nintendo has all the right to protect their properties, if you dont agree that is another story.

they dont bash because they protect their property.......they bash because they overdo it...stalking Hackers?...collect Private datas....where they live..their releationships? what they work?...really? i mean ok they have the right to find out where they live...but their Releationship and other private shit is not right.

Come one its their property. Nintendo has all the right to take any meassures. We know that most of people dont download CFW just for "Homebrew" When Nintendo trows a new update and CFW is not working, everyone is asking when a new update is going to be released so they can continue playing on CFW. People get angry because Nintendo take meassures to stop people using CFW games, that normally are bought on stores or Eshop. I do like CFW as well, but just blamimg Nintendo and all while people are using their services for free is not fair at all, is it.

Mariko was finalized in late 2017, I’m not surprised it was being worked on in 2016.

ok but the question is why even bring the first revision out ....why work on 2 revisions

There probably was a deal to use up the rest of nvidias stock of Tegra X1's sitting around to save $. keep in mind that nintendo went full on trying to profit off switch hardware sales. It was not being sold at a loss.
