Nintendo leaks continue, this time featuring N64 development repositories and source codes

9xCVsvl.png

Someone clearly left the faucet on, because we've got even more leaks. Yesterday's "Gigaleak", which contained in-development betas and source codes for Super Nintendo games has been added upon in a "Gigaleak II". Supposedly, a new file being distributed contains source codes for Nintendo 64 titles, including Super Mario 64, a corrupted version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Animal Forest, and much more, which is yet to be fully discovered.

A direct source/download link to the contents of this leak cannot be shared, as they are warez.

The best Nintendo console

Eh while I love the Nintendo 64, that controller stick was really breakable. Then again it wasn't the piece of crystal the Switch is, that thing breaks even if you threat it very delicately.

I still like a lot of Nes games...

I think the Wii was their best console, despite the Wiimote not being the best controller for every game.

Me neither, so why can't they be nice people and publicly release the source code to some of their old games and software under a free software or open source license, it doesn't mean also having to publicly release all the assets and other data from the game
Because in one year in one small country in Europe they probably resell people enough copies that they make there what everybody posting in this thread combined will make in a lifetime.

The best Nintendo console
I have encountered some questionable opinions in my time floating around the world. I think you might have just taken the cake though, at least until someone wanders in claiming the virtual boy was.

The decompilation is not illegal but this is
You keep saying that but it won't make it true. Or at least if it is legal then so is my zipped copy of the ROM, or maybe complete disassembly I dumped from an emulator that could in turn be reassembled on the spot. It still contains Nintendo's assets (levels, some text, graphics, don't know if it has music but maybe that too), a direct derivative of Nintendo's code (the decompilation part speaking to that one) and was made with anything but clean room style efforts.
About the only thing Nintendo can't do is take the code and use it themselves without sending round the boys to first say "giz rights to it and your grandkids won't still be fighting the lawsuits as they sit on their death beds". Though at the same time with it compiling to a 1:1 recreation of the ROM then you will have a mightily hard time proving that one (I have some ideas on how you might, and some things the decompilation project could have included that would give some idea but they are thin and I would hate to argue them).
That Nintendo is being as circumspect as they are about it all has me curious but that does not for a moment mean it is not all but an open and shut case if they did want to go after them. Personally I would love to be there to watch the case when the defence says "erm maybe interoperability and for disabled people" to have Nintendo* then have to argue that emulators with texture replacement packs are a thing, that emulators themselves have existed for over 2 decades and today can run on mobile phones.

*I assume we have all read https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#emergence before. If not you are welcome for the giggle.

Oh goody. Another major leak that actually has a ton of cool things to see and gawk at. What's the temp doing?

"Oh, Ninty must be mad"
*arguments over legality*
*memes and terrible jokes*

Stay classy, guys. Sifted through this mess and found nothing notable except an official Luigi model in SM64. Also, did anyone mention a Luigi SMW sprite that is giving the bird?

Jesus god, Why are they leaking so much?

Like, did they just dumped used PC outside without wiping the HDD or something?

Anyway, This is amazing. I love it.

I suspect it's all coming from a single entity who found all this content at once a while ago and has just been releasing it anonymously in pieces over time instead of all at once.
