'''emeralds.7z''' was leaked on September 2, 2020. Included in the archive was Pokémon Emerald's full localization source code as well as ATI's Wii source tree in an archive named "tako_main" (including full hardware source code and the Wii Startup Disc's partition data). Included in the full Pokémon Emerald localization source code was a map editor which had been circulating 4chan prior to the leak in the form of a screenshot that was proved genuine by the leak.

Findings:
- [[Wii Startup Disc]] partition data <code>emeralds\RVL-RAAE\v0\RVL-RAAE-v0.prod_part</code>

Inside the archive was partial source code for Super Mario 64. Inside, there were files relating to Luigi, supposedly his character model. This was huge news in the Super Mario 64 community, drawing a connection to the "L is Real 2401" conspiracy theory, which claimed that Luigi was supposed to be part of, or used to be part of Super Mario 64, before he was removed.

'''netcard.7z''' was another one of the three archives leaked to /ppg/ during the "gigaleak" on July 24, 2020. The root directory of the archive contained three tarfiles, next to some internal iQue/Nintendo documents. It can be assumed that this archive was put together by the leaker, and is not directly dumped from Nintendo or iQue.

'''20100713cvs_backup.tar.7z''' was another one of the three archives leaked to /ppg/ during the "gigaleak" on July 24, 2020. Looking at the filename, it's easy to tell this archive contains a backup of a CVS repository from July 13, 2010. This CVS repository contained 6 folders, including one named "pokemon", which contained the source code for Pokemon Diamond & Pearl.

'''other.7z''' was one of three archives leaked to [[Pokemon Proto General|/ppg/]] during the "gigaleak" on July 24, 2020. This was one of the most important and most talked-about leaks. The archive contained six more archives inside, each with lots of very important data. It's files include '''Famicom_NES.7z''', which includes an NES lotcheck, '''SFC.7z''', which includes a Super Nintendo lotcheck, '''NEWS.7z''', which includes source code of various Super Nintendo games, '''CGB.7z''', which includes source code for GameBoy Color games, '''agb_bootrom.zip''', which includes the bootrom source code for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, and '''dmg.7z''', which includes a lotcheck for the original Game Boy.

The reason why there are only seven is because during when Nintendo originally tried to recover these, some time around 2016, the rest of the tape drive backups (around 30-40 of them) failed to read, and only seven of them were recoverable. These remaining backups contained original source code and developer files related to many SNES games, including titles like Star Fox 2 and Super Mario Kart. The contents of the folders outside of NEWS were most likely transferred over from these tape drive backups.
