Skilled modders have used leaked assets to create "Beta Restoration" projects. One prominent example is Project EEX , available on platforms like Romhacking.com , which aims to recreate the E3 1996 experience faithfully.
In the years following E3 1996, Super Mario 64 became a mythical game, with many gamers eagerly anticipating its release. However, in 1997, a leaked ROM of the game began circulating online. The ROM, which was ripped from a pre-production copy of the game, allowed gamers to experience Super Mario 64 before its official release.
