The most shocking part of this story is still that Nintendo keeps all its code in CVS. CVS!!!

For game code written in the mid 90s I'm actually pleasantly surprized. I would have expected just a bunch of copied folders with weekly snapshots.

It wasn't Nintendo's CVS it was BroadOn's CVS. It was a third party Chinese company Nintendo allowed to produce Nintendo compatible hardware in China. They had access to a bunch of sdks and the source codes for the system to develop their hardware.

It was probably iGware's or Acer's CVS when it was hacked, if I'd have to guess.

RouteFree->BroadOn->iGWare->Acer Cloud Technology (as of 2011, now just a business unit)
