Game Boy Zelda Comes With Source, Sort Of

[wraggster]

Jamie found a fun story about a 90s Zelda Game Boy ROM that shipped with the source code (http://www.pagetable.com/?p=28)- not so much on purpose, but more because the linker padded out the last meg of ROM with random memory contents, which happened to include game source code.

This is a non-story. This only applies to a specific Pirate ROM Dump of Zelda DX. The clean dump does not contain any embedded source code.
