We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I've seem some crazy romhacks out there for these games already. I imagine it will give some of them a good view of the inner workings, but I would not make too much use of the source code. You can argue reverse engineering is okay, but using stolen source code is another issue entirely.
Thank you, I thought this was some sort of new hack. I didn't realize people were still unpacking the previous one. It still feels weird to talk about and praise stuff like this.
For archival purposes this will due wonders. I wonder what the many tape backups are? Old marketing material?
This is like the 3rd one this year right?
Maybe this is all from the same attack and being released in pieces?

Games of that era are written almost 100% in the assembly language of the target machine. To get it onto a modern system you would need to port the code to C for example, I'd assume.
Yeah, this is all from the same hack, I believe. I can't remember the full story, but it has become apparent they are going to release content over time rather than all at once.
Nintendo's usually pretty good about archiving that kind of stuff.
Had to chuckle at Link's Awakening DX in particular being here considering the original black and white GB release is one of the few games Nintendo did actually lose the source code for, IIRC.
What about the source code for Super Famicom 1988 tech demo DRAGONFLY, and what it became, PILOTWINGS ?

I mean, there actually was a Japan only accessory that let the GBC and GBA connect online via phones. Pokémon Crystal even used it. I don't think it really lasted very long, though.
Some of those leaks are from the May leaks, aren't they?Here's everything that has leaked. This is huge.
The prototypes are what interest me the most, I love this stuff.
I wasn't sure at first since it still appears to be related to Yoshi's Island, but since that has a separate prototype too I think it's the weird prototype game, yeah.
Nope, all of them are new.
Back in May a version of DP source code leaked but this seems different
Which in theory shouldn't be an issue because SNES emulators would have handled this already.
If you really wanted, you could just create an application that has a containerized SNES emulator packaged with the game and (theoretically) put that on Xbox or whatever really. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is how several PS1 and PSP ports to PS4 work.
I have a theory about the "Donkey" prototype.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Miyamoto asked to make a game that looked like DKC and that's how we ended up with Yoshi's Island? Maybe that's why this prototype is called Donkey.

If these were obtained through leaks, doesn't that mean they're already digitally archived?
Wow incredible, but I can see why it never came to passing lol
wow, there was a time when the awful baby crying didn't ruin the game!
So... When was this prototype made? Because Bob-omb Battlefield sounds... Absolutely interesting.
An illegal release of proprietary content that was obtained through illegal means.
