We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
It's more like the CVS repository has your essay and all the rough drafts you saved.
Edit:
Nevermind. Looks like this is only part of the CVS. It's not uncommon for repositories have be separated into chunks and to only allow certain users access to certain chunks to prevent leaks.
Phew. Still a bummer, but this is still far better than having nothing at all.
Man, I remember poring over websites full of beta OoT screenshots - the unicorn fountain, the old Lost Woods, the equippable medallions, the full 3D Castle Town... Zelda 64 is like the most legendary "early build" of all time, I'd kill to see some of it unearthed.
Probably for the best. Nothing was properly copied from the iQue servers.
I think this was stolen from BroadOn via an online attack - BroadOn worked on all the iQue stuff (a company created in a joint venture with nintendo decades ago to sell to the Chinese market) and some nintendo OS related stuff.
It's a single massive leak that's being released slowly over the last couple months.
I used to check that website out so fucking much when I was a kid lmao. Good times.
I hope this is only a Temporary setback.
Oh man, Odyssey of Hyrule? Talk about a blast from the past. I loved going there, HTLoZ, and ZHQ for OoT mysteries. Perhaps the Triforce was obtainable in the game after all buried in some code.
What song is this? Doesn't sound like anything I have heard.
May 2016 or some time, then the leaks are trickling since May 2020.
The iQue itself was hacked years ago, but the database was hacked in April or May.
I don't even know if reversed-engineered code is considered to be the authors' (Nintendo) codes.
An OoT port from this like the Mario 64 decomp one is not going to happen because it is illegal
The decomp is legal and that allows it to live on github and have any dev easily and legally do work on it
An OoT port from this leak should be done in secrecy and that means less developers will work on it

Another Super Donkey DK Sprite (and another weird monkey)
Now we got Mario flipping the bird!
Well put! It jives with the reoccurring rumor that Mario 64 started live on the SNES too. I believe they flat-out denied it was a Super FX game but you can definitely see how some ideas about giving Mario new mechanics and ways to move both lead to and stemmed from this prototype.
well seems like he wasn't the only one who had this stuff.
Haven't we known that Luigi and multiplayer got cut because of hardware issues for a while now?
All leaks pretty much are. Random developers grabbing something like the Star Fox 2 beta rom/cartridge and selling it to collectors is just as much of a crime as hacking into a database and stealing these files. This has been going on for decades. Whether that's a good thing or not is up for debate, but I personally so no issue because Nintendo themselves have no real interest in actually preserving this stuff.
Yeah, the ex-Malwarebytes researcher distributed the leaked data to his inner circles before he was caught. His inner circles somehow planned to hold onto the data until the dust has settled (since they were on the risk of getting FBI'd)...
That's all according to the folks on 4chan from May, when the whole story was explained through 77 imageboard threads.
