What looks like an unprecedented data stove related to several previous versions of Nintendo was revealed online first last Friday. Hundreds of leaked files related to Nintendo & # 39; s 2006 Wii Console, including documents made up of graphic details and seemingly source code. This information may be of great interest to the enthusiasts, data miners, and anyone who wants to know about the secret of the great Japanese game secret.
Links to other files were posted on the 4chan forum online. It is still unclear who was responsible for the leak or its original source, but it seems to include the Wii source code and detailed plans for its Hardware, as well as a 1996 Dint test demo for Nintendo 64 and information about the company's 2001 operating system GameCube
"The biggest and most impressive part of this leak is the data, block diagram and Verilog files in everything," wrote a forum user at the forum named Atheerios, in the post to tell stories. "Verilog is a programming language; it's used to describe cycles with code, so through this we can learn how all the pieces of the Wii are made."
While the technical details contained in the leak shed light on many details of how Wii Hardware and software work, anyone using it to design and build Wii retro consoles or emulators of their own will soon receive a Nintendo law department check.
The leak includes performance ROMs for various N64 test / demos, designed to test or demonstrate the power of the 1996 console. You can now check out most of these designs on YouTube. One called “Mirror House Cornflakes"Show a igamesnewsal character walking around a march, while another is called"morphdemo"It shows how Hardware handles the top of a 3D object in its size and shape.
G / O Media may receive a commission
Approximately 3GB of files look like they have been downloaded, but some 4chan archives there and elsewhere believe that this leak is only a small part of a large cache of related company data that hasn't been completely released yet.
Nintendo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
