All them leaks and yet not one RPG on the system.
Mario don't count.
Nor does Kwest 64
the bad news is folks are being dicks and just flexing with screenshots etc rather than plonking them on archive.org.
Lets discuss the Massive Nintendo Leak that occurred on May 3rd 2020. What does it mean for Emulation? Will there be an FPGA Wii or N64? How will Nintendo respond?
Nice to the emulation community
Any emulator that uses it will be breaking the law because the source code is still copyrighted.Nice to the emulation community

waiting on a super paper mario gamecube build to leak
I was in jr high during this time period. It was actually pretty awesome for movies, games, culture, everything except the fashion attire that sucked. I don't think that was just jock wear. I wasn't a jock and had those mc hammer/skidz parachute pants and even a mullet at one point.Ah, the official 1989-91 uniform of the high school jock. And who can forget those "koosh-ball" hairstyles. The girls had to wake up before dawn and spend a couple hours to fix their hair like that. That was a terrible time for fashion.

It isn't that simple. For them not to be sued they have to make it look like a "clean room design". Any signs of the code can be reasons for a lawsuit and with the source code being leaked, you can bet anything that gets released will be looked at with massive scrutiny.put an extra comma in the code, problem solved.

That's why I said "port". The dev see the original code, translate the cycles to C or whatever, there you goIt isn't that simple.

I just want a competent well made N64 emulator.
That's all I ask.
The people who make emulators. You never found it odd that emulators are perfectly legal but BIOS & ROMS aren't? It's because emulators are made from the ground up as original. Once one uses anything from copyrighted source code, it becomes as illegal as the ROMS, and nearly all of these emulator makers are well known teams.Them who?
Sorry but you're showing you have like a child level understanding of copyright law. If you think a company can just outright steal code, change a few lines and get away with it then I don't know what to tell you.That's why I said "port".

The people who...
The emulators are open source. So who or what is stopping someone to make a fork and add the leaked Nintendo code in to it?The people who make emulators.

It seems you missed mine. From the start I've been talking about any emulators that would incorporate the source code as a part of their build without making it look like a prefect clean room design. I guess you're talking about shady versions? See below.You missed my point.
Nothing, so long as they don't intend to mass distribute it like most other emulators. What emulator do you think people actually get? Project 64 made by Zilmar which has an official site or bootleg, passed around shady forums Project 64 off shot with illegal source code in it? Now which do you think is more likely to use the illegal source code? Known team built official Project 64 build off their official download page, or dodgy sourced, unofficial Project 64?The emulators are open source. So who or what is stopping someone to make a fork and add the leaked Nintendo code in to it?
It seems you missed mine.
but don't expect any of the actual major emulation teams currently working on emulators to use it.
We also have the source codes for gen 1, 2 and 3. Having those is aiding in reconstructing Pokemon Pink from what little there was.
Perhaps someday, but it's very likely not going to be in this batch. The leak in OP is from way before the gamecube was even a dream.
