I really hope you don't get a copyright strike from Nintendo for showing the music.
There is some emails in the leak too, talking about someone sharing porn in the office. lol
my sincere apologies for a certain spam. there's already a larger copy of Nintendo stuff.
and also xbox
I need to learn coding and this is a miracle. Studying source code is fun and educational.
Where can I get my hands on this stuff?
Mario All-Stars is indeed part of this, with the internal codename "Super Mario CD" suggesting it was intended for the Nintendo Playstation.
no, it was meant for the CD-I
@@omegarugal9283 Nintendo licensed their properties so Phillips could develop games for the CD-I, I don't see the point on having Nintendo's own first party studios working on that if thats the case.
m Bluett dam I remember my mom ordered that game out a magazine
@@ViktorKruger99 philips got the assests somewhere, maybe nintendo itself, the nintendo playstation project fell apart too early for the game to be intended for it...
Probably meant to be CDi. Because All-Stars didn't come out til 93 and the Nintendo Playstation was long dead.
POV: Your Uncle who worked for Nintendo tells you about the secret Marios
underrated comment lmao
My fantasy
Nintendo's trying to hide the third Mario Brother from us
ItsMamaLuigi technically aren’t Wario and Waluigi their extended brothers?
Like ray-mario the star of "mario 5" the mario that never marioed

This but unironically
Prototypes are so fascinating. The most mind-blowing thing that can happen is if some early Mario 64 prototypes could be found.
I'd say mario cart 64. Just to see how the call functions are handled on that one track with the jumbotron.
I wanna see early versions of Zelda 64. Medallions were magic items and there's even evidence to suggest Hyrule field was much larger among many other thins that are very interesting about it.
You're forgetting Mother 64

I'm more impressed at Nintendo's ability to keep backups of 30+ year old source code than anything else.
Nintendo's thought process: Let's keep it, we might make money off it later.
@@Minsc and thats very smart
Correction about the Star Fox 2 early build: It's not Star Fox 2, it's actually Star Fox 1. It's dated 1992.
Somehow some rejected songs from the first game were rearranged for Star Fox 2.
People’s heads are going to explode when we did through the code and learn that Waluigi was originally playable in Mario Kart
I know you're joking and all, but The Wah was created by Camelot to be Wario's partner for Mario Tennis, he wasn't a thing during the SNES's run.

Major kudos to Nintendo for saving all the old source code so it could be stolen decades later and released online.
Cry harder
Not stolen. Nintendo still have their original stash. This is more an illegal duplication, than theft of code. Unless someone actually went into the room and removed the storage device it is on.
@@brostenen If someone hacked into your computer remotely and copied your private photos and posted them online, would you not consider that stealing? I mean, since you still have all the photos and they didn't break into your house, would you just call it "illegal duplication?" How do you think law enforcement would classify the crime?
@@ZachAttackIsBack It is cyber crime or illegal obtained personal data. However I would only consider it theft if someone took both my backup drive and my computer.
@@ZachAttackIsBack I can now ask you this. If someone did a 1:1 and exact copy of a ferrari. Is that stealing or copy or replica? Compared to someone taking the car without permision.
I wish the beta prototypes of super mario sunshine will ever leak
Galaxy also 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would love to have access to the Super Mario 128 tech demo from SpaceWorld 2000...just for the fun of it.
Luigi's Mansion tho.
The whole gigaleak is around 2tb worth of data, only 4gb has leaked so yeah it's fairmy possible that gamecube, wii and even wiiu games source code will be leaked.

how about Legend of Zelda Leak's Awakening

I, frankly, hope that this guy is covering his tracks like a g'damned guerilla. This stuff is only good for the future of preservation.
I mean it's great that Nintendo is saving this stuff but that could change at any moment and it'd be lost forever.
The internet won't let it die at least.
The guy who hacked into the iQue servers already got arrested two years ago, but he was set somewhat free because he was literally autistic. In addition, he's on house arrest with heavy monitoring of his computer use, but he did share the entire 2 terabytes of info with his friends on Discord. His friends are slowly putting the leaks out there in chunks. The leaks have always been released on a Friday if that's anything to go by

@@GoodlyPenguin Releasing leaks on a Friday is the best date because people have days off on Saturday and Sunday so you are giving the internet a 2 day headstart on nintendo suits.
I hope we get to see a Super Mario 64 prototype build from one of these leaks, it's my dream to one day play the Space World 95 demo!
wario apparition will become real
The source code for Mario 64 leaked a month ago, they recompiled the spaceworld demo with it shortly after and that's how all of those wario apparition videos were made
@@thecianinator Wario apparition videos were made either with modding, video edits or screenshots from Nintendo's own presentations.

I hope somebody gets inpired and create a remaster version of Star Fox, HD resolution and 60 FPS, same polygons. Something like virtua racing for swtich
We really hope that happens.
In before a C&D from Nintendo to the talented dev who undertakes such a project.
My hopes are that any of these get higher fps when ported to faster systems
@facelessninetytwo aka Man of the Rain you actually don't want to do that. Modern GPUs don't like pushing things faster than 1000 fps or so. I've noticed it can break down above 600 too for certain games.
I hope ANYTHING is done with Starfox, its my fav snes game , even messing with the randomizer is really fun
I would love to see a leak of the old Satellaview content. For the SNES era that could be considered the holy grail of content that needs to be preserved.
Yes! Radical Dreamers (Chrono Trigger/Cross series) was on that!
Yeah, absolutely
For sure. I would REALLY love to see that, and I would love for it to be playable somehow in a similar way to how it was intended.
Its raining source codes, hallelujah!
2 things:
1. I hope Super Metroid is in there.
2. Does this mean we can get these 2D games to he true wide screen now? 😍
Until that day comes, I've been making "Atlas Videos" to show how widescreen Nintendo games could look!
@@NESAtlas I didnt know you were back at it again! I loved your stuff years ago, and I'm glad to see your putting out new videos 👌
Nintendo is king of IP in the industry. Keeping all source is just proves it
Truth. Can't think of any company who comes close besides sony, somewhat.
@@YouVSMeTV M$
Imagine throwing away the source code of Final Fantasy 8
This comment was made by the backup gang
I'm just a small dev but ever since Megaupload went down I keep EVERYTHING I make on three hard drives, my laptop, and 2 clouds. I can't imagine huge companies not doing the same thing.
@@wishusknight3009 Yeah, but the utilization isn't there. There should a injustice style game with Microsoft characters fighting across the multiverse. More banjo games, more fable, halo spinoffs with the first Spartans and their struggles. Gears games about the stranded and the beginning of the locust war for survival. So much potential.
Star Fox source code?
Does this mean we could make a source port and get Star Fox in 4k at 60 fps?
I hope so!
Probably, but it would take a lot of work just because the 3D on the SuperFX is completely different from modern 3D renderers. Huge parts of it would have to be rewritten. Even with that being the case though this means that it would be much less work to make it behave identically to the original game since they can just read the source code to figure that out.
Yeah but it probably wouldn't be easy
no, it would be in assembly. and when its in assembly, its only good for that cpu/architecture. but it could be manually translated into another language.
And with better textures
I guess what I hope for when source code leaks, is new variants on old games. Like ROM hacks, but on a deeper level. Sure you can edit levels in A Link to the Past, but you can't really add in new items with different behaviours. With the source code available, you could have new gameplay mechanics not possible with ROM hacks.
Things like this is why I was overjoyed when I discovered Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, because they were the same style as Link's Awakening, but with new ideas and maps and gameplay mechanics.
technically through decompiling you can still add new gameplay elements, but of course with the source code itself its a lot easier
I'd be surprised if a game as big as Zelda hasn't yet been disassembled and commented.
@@chickerinoradio6617 I always kinda forget that games like SM64 have been decompiled in a way that recompiling them produces a 1:1 ROM of the original, but you're right, with the source code half the work's done for you.
There's also game engine projects for making alttp style fangames if adding new behaviors is what you're after: solarus-games.org/
Credit to that one guy simplifying the whole thing for the Normies holidaying on the chan for leakes. You're a real bro!

MultiTarded bald dudes have beards

@MultiTarded Men who are insecure about their masculinity have beards.

Some of these prototype sprites could result in some really interesting ROM hacks.
Yep. This happened with Pokemon a while ago and there's a guy I know working on a hack with the recent Spaceworld '99 demo assets.
Any link? I'm interested.
That no one would be willing to host because that is just inviting a DMCA strike.
@@ZeroB4NG That's why you only make it available for download when it's completely finished. Wait for Nintendo to give you a letter and comply. If it's good enough, then dozens of people will have already downloaded it and it'll be circulating through the Internet forever. You can still easily find things like AM2R by just looking for them.
@@ZeroB4NG LOL! As if that ever stopped anyone.
Sorry Nintendo, console generations are temporary
But game preservation is forever
lmao, "Sorry Nintendo, console generations are temporary" - wtf are you even trying to say? That's like saying "sorry Random House, Literary Eras are temporary but literature preservation is forever". Like those 2 things are so completely unrelated?
Stupid butthead
@@svenbtb Public domain is a thing, and happened pretty quickly in the past.
But, you know. Last I checked my collection of books didn't require some proprietary device that's incompatible with any other to be able to read any given set of books...
Game preservation has this very peculiar and awkward problem of having to deal with the fact that arguably the hardware and game are inter-related, an cannot easily be seperated from one another like they can in any other medium.
My VHS copy of Back to the Future can be salvaged simply by copying the video stream to a different medium, and the copy will be as good as the tape I got it from and the method I used to copy it.
The copy of Sim City 2000 rotting away on floppy disks won't work just because I transfer it to a new storage medium, a whole heap of other technical stuff would have to be altered as well to get it to keep working...
Game preservation is in a uniquely vulnerable position, and it's all well and good to create laws that say it's legally protected for going on 2 centuries...
But many of these games are on hardware and storage media that likely won't survive 50 years without major conservation efforts...
So either we break the law to preserve this stuff, or it vanishes into the ether.
Granted, a company like Nintendo that's still going strong and evidently does a decent job of internal preservation is less of a concern here, but the principle still stands that if we do not do something then this is a disaster waiting to happen, and we will lose a ton of gaming history forever...
@@KuraIthys Yup. Just look at a good chunk of the state of BBS Door games right now.
I want a SEGA leak, that would be so great to have Daytona USA and Virtua Fighter source code.
Nintendo has to be PISSED.
They're probably finna' DMCA every single person that leaked this, lol
I hope they don't target people making video talking about leaks
@@EpicTyphlosionTV I will seed the shit outta it. They can't do anything
They definitely know about it. They sent a company-wide memo regarding it.
>They sent a company-wide memo regarding it.
How do you know that?
The All-Stars code is amazing because it is infamous for having some physics changes in SMB and LL, and I'm assuming we can see the values responsible for that and fix them
Back in 2016 I found an undocumented trick in Super Mario Kart even without the source code. At least, I couldn't find any mention of it online.
If you only have a controller plugged into one controller port, the SNES can tell and games will often adapt. For example, Super Mario World and Super Mario All*Stars will let you play a 2P game by passing the controller back and forth. It will even prevent you from playing the 2P simultaneous Battle Game in Super Mario Bros 3. Anyway, I was playing around with this and wanted to see if Super Mario Kart would let me play a single player game with the 2P controller. When both controllers are plugged in it will let the 2P controller operate the menu selections too only it will not let that player pick a 1P mode.
...unless you hold L+R and press Start. That will let you play a 1P game using the 2P controller, only you will be playing on the bottom half of the screen with the map on top (reverse of the usual way). I posted an image gallery about it on Imgur.
Reminds me when I was a kid I pressed buttons spastically when I was playing Super Mario Kart, and I somehow unlocked panning the camera around while I was driving. Is this a known trick?
@@TheRealSinjinsmyth I know that there is a way to do this during replays but L & R are used during game play so if you unlocked it there then that it really cool!
Before I owned any SNES games I renter Ren & Stimpy Veediots and would let the game demos loop on the title screen. After I pressed a bunch of stuff randomly I set I controller down and thought the demo had started showing the stage where Stimpy floats down an esophagus or something. It was a stage I had not managed to play up to yet and I was only aware of it through the demo. I soon realized that Stimpy was getting hurt and was not moving like he normally would during the demo. I grabbed the controller and, sure enough, I was playing the stage. Unfortunately, I realized this too late to avoid dying and I didn't get to do anything with it. :(
Anyway, the Super Mario Kart discovery was posted as "Did I just discover an undocumented Super Mario Kart trick?!" on IMGUR under "EmmettTurner" if anyone cares to look it up.
This has been known since the game came out almost, I saw it printed in Super Play magazine back in 1992 .. it's even on gamefaqs gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588738-super-mario-kart/cheats
It was printed in some magazines and on some websites back in the 1990s, actually.
2:45 Kinda looks like the concept art that Miyamoto had for a couple of years
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Yoshi-concept.png
@Umbreon 2014 I CLICKED ON IT TOO FAST
yeah.
As an engineer myself, I think it's interesting to mention that code itself is not such a big deal.
It's more about everything around it. So how it's made, what is left behind etc.
The reason why, is because it tells a lot about how certain companies operate and how capable they are (or the lack of)
And mostly things they don't want others (mostly competitors) to know.
Exactly. It's not the code, it's the comments within the code that are really telling.
@@collin3012 Sometimes not even the comments, but just certain references, way of working or IP that is obtained fairly or not.
This can in some cases even lead directly to having an insight in profit margins or claims
(although that's mostly a little less straightforward with programming code, but it does exist)
@@p_mouse8676 source code itself is one thing, but this leak has argonaut's entire toolchain from back in the day, assembler, linker, custom tools, hell even 'make'. seems to even work properly using dosbox, but idk what format the file it generates are in and it does some weird bullshit with FTP, apparently sending the files... somewhere, so i can't recommend trying to build them just yet.
there's probably even more toolchains hidden in there but i didn't really go farther than that
Here’s hoping for a StarFox PC port running on real 60 FPS
Exactly what I want!! Also a resolution bump!
Also stereo 3D would be cool.
Just use bsnes.
Anyone got the music he was referring to “super castlevania 4 alternative soundtrack”? I can’t find any of it
The sample he played was from Simon's theme.
th-cam.com/video/IkEGBAQsK-Q/w-d-xo.html
@@GreenSwedeHearing any upbeat music in Castlevania 4 is just a big breath of fresh air.
A sourcecode leak of OoT would be really cool. I'd love to see a romhack with a fully working customized dungeon map.
What's the point? I thought it got reverse engineered a short while after SM64 as well
Or a hack where the 20 fps limit is removed.
@@SK91NO I know both were analyzed quite a bit, I can't speak for SM64 but OoT has quite a fair bit of thinks that are very tedious to adjust with the current rom tools that have been made.
@@SK91NO I think that's still a work in progress but is a very active project.
I'd love to see if there was ever any real work done on Ura Zelda beyond just changing the dungeons. Evidence in the OoT code suggests that they only ever planned to make harder dungeons (like what we got with Master Quest), but that doesn't seem right to me.
I really want to see N64 game source code.
Imagine if Goldeneye 007 source code was leaked!
Turok is available
At this rate, you will.
@Morahman7vnNo2 Yeah... So what? I mean, I hope so. C is kinda easier to read than Assembly, you know...
@Morahman7vnNo2 Can you poke me in a direction where I find documentation/sources? I don't have too much time these days but wanna take a look anyway
This is insane. I can't wait for all the ports and crazy mods coming out of this, I'm really hyped up
@MrFoxbody89
"I have never see a port perfect game from one cpu to another."
We have that new Halo 3 port from PowerPC to x86/x64 architecture, and when I had both running simultaneously (with the 360 version being in Xenia) they seemed identical with the exception of graphical fidelity.
Edit: Also, what about the Super Mario 64 PC port?
@MrFoxbody89
I can understand where you're coming from when it comes it a language's portability, but I mean, imho the Super Mario 64 PC port seems pretty legit overall. Even some of the original's graphical errors have been preserved, and while I haven't fully beaten it, the first half of the game I played seems super accurate to the original outside of HD resolutions and widescreen support.
I'm not trying to sound rude, but if any of these SNES games get a PC port that's of similar quality to the Super Mario 64 PC port, I'd be content with personally calling it a proper PC port. I'd be curious to see anyone try and play the originals on native hardware versus a fan PC port to see if any significant desyncs arise.
Somebody who had super high level access starts leaking soon after Reggie leaves Nintendo. Hmmmm
Bill Cook Reggie had no access to these
Sanse Azo 1) The comment was pretty obviously in jest. 2) Care to share where you got your information?
@@hackmiester1337 it's stupid to assume that nintendo of america would have access to source code of projects that nintendo of japan worked on/approved.
GreenSwede I would be surprised if things were so cleanly divided in the year 2020 when international companies’ branches are more interconnected than ever. But hey, it seems like we are all just speculating.
@@hackmiester1337 in the vast majority of cases, international companies are set up with the express purpose of managing the legal and regulatory overhead of marketing a game in a particular region. I would be surprised if Nintendo America had anything more than a translation/localization team. I would go out on a limb and assume all the actual game engineers are in Nintendo Japan.
I hope the rest of the Pokemon Gen 4, 5 and heck even 6 source code gets leaked. I would also love if Dream World makes a come back too.
@MultiTarded Crystal doesn't need to be leaked. We have pokecrystal on GitHub and the symbol files for that project. After looking at the gen 3 leaks I can say that the documentation on pokecrystal is likely better than the original source anyways as well as having better variable names.
Hoarders are keeping the betas of those games to themselves
@MultiTarded Prototypes of Crystal's different localizations have been leaked, but not the actual source code.
I feel like this is what Nintendo deserves for always taking down rom sites.
Yes and no. Like it sucks they did take down Rom sites but at the same time... It's their property.
Not all ROM sites.
Even if they didn't want to, they have a legal obligation to or they lose the copyright to those titles.
@@Mugmoor No, they don't. Copyright is automatically given for any work of art. Trademark is what is at stake, and they can just say "we are okay with [insert rom site]" and they keep their trademark
@Boba Fett They seem to care more about preservation than other companies that lost the source for their games (Konami with Silent Hill 2 & 3 comes to mind), sure it's hidden away from the public in their servers, but with the leaks we now know it's there.
nintendo about to lawsuit

Assuming they still have Conker on file. The code is wholly owned by Microsoft.
Dinosaur Planet would be the greatest thing.
I wouldn't mind the initial builds of Golden Sun for N64, before it was ported to GBA.
Thanks for the update! I agree that it doesn't really help emulation, but it's a good way to document Nintendo's history. I totally understand them protecting their IP, but I wish they would lighten up in some cases and work together with the community.
Ha, and some people genuinely believed that Nintendo threw all their old stuff away and had to download a ROM of SMB1 from the Internet for VC. Yet more proof of their extensive efforts to preserve all of their stuff, even with SNES prototype assets.
Nah, they probably just dumped the ROM in a similar fashion to those online. If there ROM has no header you'd hope they'd be identical. The "funny" part about what they did it they are using the .NES file format which was created for emulation and not by them. Granted they probably didn't feel the need to reinvent the wheel. If Nintendo has their source code lying and I'm sure they've got spare carts and ways to dump the ROMs sitting around too. (They would have ROM dumpers to investigate and find ways to thwart piracy)
@@shade221 Extensions are just part of the name of a file, the "funny part" of the SMB rom was an iNES header, which holds some meta-data for the emulator to use.
I remember hearing that Nintendo hired an iNES dev way back, and that's how the header got there.
@@shade221 NES rom images don't have any kind of header because the cartridges are supposed to be just two rom chips (code and graphics), in practice this isn't necessarily the case because mappers exists, chips that could swap data from bigger ROM chips into something the NES could work with (or even add functionality!).
These mappers were numerous and each acts differently from each other, so just having the raw data from the roms isn't enough to emulate the game as you'd need to know the mapper the game uses (if it uses any), whether or not it has a battery etc, this info is only available to you when you open the cart, thanks to this necessity the iNES format was born.
Who thinks they throw it away?? Theyve been rereleasing this shit for the last 20 years.
@TurboCMinusMinus Nintendo quite literally hired one of the iNES devs, and they were responsible for the GB emulator in Pokémon Stadium 1 and 2, as well as the NES emulator in the GC version of Animal Crossing. NES ROMs straight up do not contain the information about the hardware of the cart that is stored in the iNES header, so the guy they hired who worked on iNES used the same format because it already existed, rather than wasting time to make a new format.
Crazy to finally see the full mushroom shaped island from early SMW screenshots.
I'll put my thin foil hat here: I think someone is blackmailing Nintendo and they are releasing these leaks as they're not getting what they're asking.
Lol Nintendo can't get rid of it now.
Everyone has already downloaded it.
well.. i didn't download it.... yet
something about a netcard for gba was in the leak
also the wii shop backend
I remember the first leak back in April, people were rumoring about ~2TB of stuff that they were going to leak slowly over time. Unless this is something different, looks like they're telling the truth.
Nindy will be pissed, though. We got betas, source code, BETA SOURCE CODE, and so many other goodies. Time to add this to my external drive with my collection of leaked goodies.
Your comment is funny.

Hopefully people can make pc ports of these, specially star fox 1 and 2
I would love to see a Sega Genesis port using the svp chip
arturseguro I don’t think thats necessarily going to happen. SNES games were written in 65c816 assembly code that was only pertinent to the Super Nintendo’s CPU. Unlike say, Nintendo 64 games which were written in C, assembly code is not easily transferable and would have to be entirely rewritten. Besides, SNES emulation is already extremely accurate and accessible. There is really no point in porting these games.
and go to jail? lol
There's not really a way to do that. The code is in ASM, so you can't just make it x86. Your best bet is a psuedo-emulator. Look at the Sonic 3 AIR project to see what I mean.
I'm waiting for another 3DS leak. There is still some stuff missing that is interesting for the scene (e.g. home menu stuff; how to remove the 300 title limit)

Someone already made that a while back, actually! Lol!
2:41 I've been looking pictures of this world map for years (small parts of it here and there). I've never thought that it would come a day when I would be able to enjoy it at full glory!
I'm very happy to see this stuff too. I mean think about it. There is a possibility that the source code for many Nintendo classic games can be used to do stuff like run in 16:9 native so that simply more level data can be shown on screen at once than the original 4:3 resolution offered.
Or at the very least, this can help out rom hackers who remix retro games into new experiences.
"Super Donkey" is a strange beta that is like a very early version of Yoshi's Island. Theres also a very odd Mario "game"(?) that looks more like a bootleg
It boggles my mind how aggressive Nintendo is with this while some other companies are really open or don't care about this.
People are still modding DOOM & Quake, even making games to be sold with the engines. SEGA is letting fans not only make rom hacks, they encourage it by letting you install them in the Genesis PC emulator on steam and the fans doing an HD Remake of Sonic 2.
Nevermind hiring fan-game makers.
Then you have Nintendo...who get mad at the very idea someone might enjoy their games differently than they were designed.
That's one of the reasons why I love when these leaks happen! LOL
It feels like the community does this like a revenge and it feels so good! Hahaha
how else are they going to sell you the same games over and over again with ervy new console?

Maybe it pays off somehow but just pissed me off and caused me to hate them. At least their IP is properly protected from youtube. Wouldnt want them to lose out on super mario world 27
@@madwlad799 Whats funny is MVG usually showcases their tired ass ports with real interest and dev knowledge, advertising for Nintendo. How do they return the favor? Yep copyright strike him lol
Every Video is a damn good done one.Even for my frustrating years of coding and understanding these, you made your explanation so damn good even I could understand 😃
Thanks for reporting on this MVG 👍
That hidden Castlevania music is amazing!
not really.
It is a bit basic, and not nearly as technical as what went into the game... but it is catchy, I will give it that.
@@jong2359 wow, I was trying to be a troll here but your response was rational and very composed. Well done. +1 skill point for you.
Nah
Nintendo Switch advert before this video! I'm sure they'll be delighted.
cool they need to show us all of the prototypes man this is epic! Kinda like bloopers from shows you never got to see.
That early version of SMW sprites is really cool
Hope they dont strike down your video, they're known for doing that
Also i love your shirt!
Man imagine the possibilities, i hope there's a No Mercy 64 beta
Also Thrill Kill
@@SullySadface Didn't know Thrill Kill was going to be on 64, yeah be cool to have the 64 version. PSX version has been out years
I want the source code leaked for the aki wcw/WWF games.
@@Sterling20073 I assume he meant the source code. 🤷♀️ be neat if one of the old paradox devs said f-it one day and puts it out. Here's to hoping!
3:54 pretty gorgeous music
Really interesting stuff. There has been some early Lttp sprites floating around, really hope we get to see more of that, or even possibly stuff related to Zelda 3 for NES, if that ever actually existed.
I get the feeling Nintendo has been angering some people to the point their code is being leaked. To me that's very telling.
I'm one of those people that'd rather play the pc port of Super Mario 64 over an emulator or the real console.
Did they found prototypes ROMs of SUPER MARIO WORLD!, or they just early sprites?
Because one of the things I want to do before death is to play at least one genuine prototype of Super Mario World and Sonic 1 (Especially the very first prototype of Sonic 1 from 1990).
If the source is separated into different versions representing the course of development, then theoretically different builds could be generated as roms in much the same way as we have the Sonic 2/3/CD prototypes. There were enough differences in the early prototypes of SMW that I would love to see what they had running when those original photos were in the magazines back in the day.
Such a cool video. Thanks for making it!
At first I thought there was a beer bottle in the thumbnail
Where can we download these prototypes? I dont see them on hidden palace.
I wish we had Starfox ported to others platform or running on higher frame rate.
Thanks for the video. Very informative.
4:54 I can just see Dracula on the keyboard jamming those fingers to this beat and having a rave party
Dang those hackers really have time on their hands thanks to covid.
That a Fender Stratocaster in the background together with a precision bass? And if so, are they vintage...?
Love the E1M5 Doom music at the end haha
That photo (along with others) of SCV-4 was featured in the first previews of the game in Nintendo Power back in the day.
Next MVG video : I ported (something from this leak) to ( xbox or switch)
"I don't know if Nintendo will try to shut down this video"
They would learn a valuable lesson related to the Streisand effect...
Great video MVG. This was super interesting. It would be cool to have a full video breakdown if nintendo ends up being cool with this leak.
This is awesome!
I'm hoping that many good things will come from this! :D
Wow! Source code to Star Fox SNES! That means we can recompile it with a faster FX chip overclocked to 30MHz!
please let me know if you do this :P
oh wow im actually here early enough to tell MVG that i love him and he might see it.
your content is great to binge or to fall asleep to. your voice / accent is genuinely my favorite on youtube.
thank you for the technically literate content as well as your more general stuff.
youre just a great youtuber. thanks.
Some of the leaks are quite interesting from my experience, that one backup mail file not even included, with a bit of digging there seems to be a number of user folders which appear to contain code targeting SGI machines, which may prove interesting.
That game at 4:45 I admit I have never played it (never had the chance to) but that "new" music in the clip was making me all hyped up to play! the! game!
That is called karma for f-ing with fangames.
"Full development repository for Ensata official DS emulator" out of everything here, I can see this being helpful for DS emulation. sure no one can directly copy the code (at least not legally) but you can study it and use what you learned from it.
Even that is illegal for an emulator. By law only clean room reverse engineering is allowed.
So if an emulator used this and Nintendo found out you'd get sued to the ground.
But I can imagine some chinese companies to use these "assets"
@@Caesim9 So one person interprets the code, describes it to another developer who doesn't know it, and that one replicates it. That's what ReactOS does, and to my knowledge that's legal.
yoshi at 2:48 is pure nightmare fuel!
I'd love an episode on your guitars!
I hope they look at this, with their classic genius selves (notice i said classic), "o? Something fun happened for the players. Let's save ourselves some headache, time, energy, money, and heartache. Let's let it go. Nintendo is about fun. Let the players have fun. :D "
@fartwhif I'm just dreaming
Am I the only one just waiting for "URA ZELDA" OR "ZELDA 64 DD" to appear on one of these lists?
I feel like that would be nowhere near as momentous as it seems, since file-loading code in OoT suggests that they only ever planned the harder dungeons we got in Master Quest. Here's to hoping, though!
@@LonelySpaceDetective I disagree, miyamoto has already mentioned before that ura zelda had been completed for some time
@@BonScottForever1 How do you know that means there was more to Ura Zelda than just the dungeons, though?
A part of me wonders if some game companies might consider "the making of" or "behind the scenes" content that showcases prototype assets, as in part being useful for getting out ahead of leaks, presenting things (and potentially monetizing them) on their own terms.
Awesome video! Unbelievable stuff I'm amazed looking at the sprite sheets, music and videos. But Konami game leaks not so long ago? I search for some info on that Akumajou Dracula proto.. and i found.. NADA... But all this today, SMW, Star Fox, LoZ3,... Just blew my mind! I'm 40 and this feels like in Christmas 1991!
