Ensata is an emulator that got released alongside with the most recent Nintendo leaks, with the full source code and compiling tools to go with it.
We're all going to assume everything is safe, and there are no "clean room" morality issues.
I'm specifically just curious to know if Ensata is capable of even running tech demo ROMs just by building it off from the source codes from the leaks? I'm not talking about booting commercial games, it's moot at this point. I'm also not talking about the leaked 1.3d and 1.4 Ensata emulator builds, because they were officially built and compiled from correctly configured development environments within Nintendo headquarters, and they have this activation code you need to enter in.
But now the full source code, let alone the full CVS repository is released with all the history of Ensata, one couldn't help but wonder if it's possible to replicate Ensata enough that it can run demo ROMs?
The history of Ensata starts out as a Nintendo DS prototype software emulator, so there has to be some points in history where it is capable of running certain scripts, or demonstration of code technologies. Otherwise, it wouldn't be used as part of the software development process, and it wouldn't be released at 1.0 at all, or 1.3d for that matter. With the leaked source code, one can easily disable the activation code checking, and run Ensata without worry.
And hence, the point of this thread and the main topic. Thoughts?
