This page contains information relating to the contents of each leak, and any other information surrounding them. For the download links, see Leaks/Downloads.

This is a list of the compressed archives and other files that were obtained in the Zammis Clark Breach and leaked online. Most of these were leaked on a 4chan board called /ppg/, through the file hosting service Anonfiles.

The title screen from the May 2018 Let's Go Eevee prototype, containing a debug menu.

eevee.zip

eevee.zip was leaked on Christmas Eve, 2020, alongside t210_t214_brom.7z, which was leaked on the same day. This archive contained an NSP file called beluga.nsp, which was a prototype build of "Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!" for the Nintendo Switch. The build was dated May 12th, 2018, meaning this was from six months before the game's official release. This prototype contained a debug menu, unused sprites, unused music, test maps, and placeholder text.[1]

The size of the build totaled 8.7 GB when decompressed, which is more than twice the size of the game's release build.

t210_t214_brom.7z

The two ZIP files, containing different versions of the source code.

t210_t214_brom.7z was leaked on Christmas Eve, 2020, alongside eevee.zip, which was leaked on the same day. This archive contained two ZIP files, "erista-bootrom-master@96df02fd1a1.zip" dated 2/6/2018, and "mariko-bootrom.zip" dated 5/23/2018. These were two versions of NVIDIA's source code for the Nintendo Switch's bootrom.

The size of the 7-zip archive totaled 4.7 MB, which is small enough to send over Discord without hitting the 8 MB file size limit.

emeralds.7z

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.

other.7z

other.7z was the first of three archives leaked to 4chan during the first "Gigaleak" on July 24, 2020. This was one of the most important and most talked-about leaks. 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.
