The Pokemon source code link is still up, but the "mgnet.xyz" link that presumably contains the N64 source no longer works :(

I'm a huge N64 enthusiast and wanted to see the Verilog source.




Be wary of doing this if you ever intend to contribute to projects related to Nintendo and the N64. Viewing this material will make you radioactive to projects that care about legal risk.


Eh, the community has already had leaks of similar consequences for 20 years. At the time, it devastated the community, but pretty much all emulators since have been based upon it in some way. The open secret behind emulator development is that it is often built on the backs of stolen material. The first popular N64 PC emulator, Ultra64, was a hacked up copy of Nintendo's PC emulator core.
