Why we think so
2 points against it and 5 in its favour, checked against the scan evidence.
The reasoning behind this verdict
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including 17 major antivirus engines, and it has circulated broadly since 2009. Its .gb format is a non-executable Game Boy ROM image; the uncorroborated Malshare listing does not establish harmful content.
The file is presented as a 1 MB Game Boy ROM image rather than a native executable, making code signing irrelevant. None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged it, and all 17 major contributors returned no detection. It has been submitted 772 times by 679 sources since 2009, which strongly supports established commodity content rather than a newly introduced threat. A Malshare open-upload-feed entry is the only adverse context, but such an entry is not a malware label and has no corroboration from detections, MalwareBazaar, or malware-specific YARA rules. No completed observation from the test run or complete host-reputation result is available, although this limitation carries little weight for a ROM image with extensive static evidence.
What We Detected
None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file, including 17 major antivirus engines. The 1 MB file uses a .gb extension and is presented as a Game Boy ROM image, which is non-executable data rather than a Windows program.
Threat Behavior
No completed sandbox observation is available, so no behavior in the test run can be described. A complete contacted-host reputation check is also unavailable. The hash appears in Malshare's open-upload feed, but that alone does not identify malware, and there are no corroborating MalwareBazaar records or malware-specific YARA rules.
What To Do Now
The file shows no technical malware indicators and has circulated widely since 2009. Use it only with a reputable emulator, keep security software enabled, and obtain ROM images through lawful, trusted channels.
Where this verdict could be wrong2 caveats
- The hash appears in Malshare's open-upload feed, but that service accepts arbitrary uploads and no antivirus, MalwareBazaar, or malware-specific YARA evidence corroborates the entry.
- No sandbox run or complete contacted-host reputation check is available, so runtime and network behavior remain unobserved.
These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
- None of the 61 antivirus engines that checked it flagged the file.
- All 17 major antivirus contributors reported no detection.
- The file has been submitted 772 times by 679 sources since 2009.
- The .gb extension identifies non-executable Game Boy ROM data.
- No malware-specific YARA rules or MalwareBazaar record matched the hash.
- The hash appears in an open-upload sample feed, although that listing is not corroborated by malware detections.
- No completed runtime or comprehensive network-host reputation analysis is available.
