1/ Let's just get this out in the open: Yes, I've heard of the N64/GC/Wii leak. Based on second-hand descriptions of the contents by qualified people, no, it is not a huge boon for emulation, not unless you're planning on writing a low-level N64 emulator.

2/ Furthermore, although there is apparently some new info in the N64 leak (c.f. N64DD lib src), the majority (and more) has circulated behind closed doors among the N64 scene in the form of the "oman" archive for literally two decades.

3/ In the late 90's / early 00's, someone breached SGI and came away with what amounted to the entire keys to the Project Reality kingdom. I've stayed away from that archive, as well as this one, for some damn good reasons.

4/ Emulation based on observation - even emulation based on decompiling copyrighted code - has been thoroughly proven legal in court, the latter of which was nailed down in Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. v. Bleem! LLC.

5/ Meanwhile, emulation based on information gleaned from files that were most assuredly obtained in violation of federal wire fraud and computer intrusion laws has never been litigated, and the decision would almost *certainly* fall on the side of the plaintiff.

6/ As such, I am personally planning to veer well clear of any discussion involving the specifics of this purloined code and data, because quite frankly, it would call into question literally every future contribution that I would make to MAME's N64 driver.

The only correct choice to make. I've been seeing people involved in emulation talking all about what's in the archive and obviously confirming they've looked at it and I'm just like "welp, I guess your time in emulation is done".

Yep, pretty much exactly that. I've been urging people in the Discord and Telegram chats that I'm part of to specifically avoid talking details about the archives for that very reason. It's well-poisoning of the highest order.
