You serious? There have been thousands of old games getting decompiled so they can be ran on PC/linux/4k/widescreen, when one happened by hand like Goldeneye,SuperMario64,OcarinaOfTime it made headlines but now people are doing it daily with the use of LLMs. Stuff like open sourced Adobe and MS Office products. People putting other game assets like Escape From Tarkov into games like Skyrim.
I’ve seen some decompiles of things like Mario 64, but nothing recently or involving AI
I’m usually pretty informed on gaming stuff, and despite disliking AI listen to a few AI podcasts. I haven’t seen a thing. Looks like I need to update my feeds.
If you go to a few of the sites of the makers of those original decompiles they usually have a bit on there about all the AI usage (they don’t like it)
The VR modding scene is crazy right now. A new flat to VR mod drops every other day now which was more like a monthly occurence at best. A lot of them are vibecoded messes but the amount of worthwhile ports is more than one would think. I still hate AI. Just because it now kinda works for specific tasks doesnt do away all the other negative aspects. But i take some new vidya in an otherwise dead market segment while everything burns to the ground.
I haven’t seen any of this recompile/decompile or port news

Here’s a video from MVG from two weeks ago talking about it.
Thank you!
