A screen shot of the Guts man boss fight in mega man 1 on the NES, the Square boulder sprite that Guts man throws in the game is replaced with a photo shopped picture of a square rabbit for comedic effect.

I'm the same way, I usually stick to DMs or a group call of 3 or 4 at most. My own server maybe, but I always feel most comfortable around those I know are my close friends

These lead to absolutely massive differences in the final result, such as having completely different UI, platforms, completely breaking modding support, using different modding schemes, forking the framework to the point of no return, and the list goes on.

This means a human will struggle to use the Decompilation in order to create patches to enhance or fix the game, making the entire workflow required to create a good port much harder, be it by compiling the code directly or using static recompilation.

There are a myriad of ways of achieving a codebase that, when compiled, results in the same ROM. LLMs will often bruteforce this process and end up with a result that, while it does compile to the correct ROM, it is not readable or understandable by a human or even the LLM itself.

The part where there's been a speedup with AI when it comes to these efforts are decompilations, but with a catch: decomps generally have matching game's ROM when compiled as a primary goal. However, the entire point of decomps has always been documenting the code and understanding how it works.

Because the developers were deeply familiar with DK64, they were able to get the game to a very good state, further sped up by myself giving them information on how to use the framework to its full potential. Meanwhile, the AI effort failed to make further progress as it was lacking that knowledge.

The reality is that any projects that use AI have also found this takes as much if not more time to pull off than doing it manually. A great example of this is the recent DK64 Rekongpiled, which didn't use AI, while they were racing against another project that did use AI.

It's the polish and making a good and sustainable project for the wider public where the difference is. It's the part that actually takes far more time. People have already shown they have no interest in these kind of efforts if they don't have significant advantages over emulation.

What these people are unaware of is that getting the game running is basically the first step of the journey and not the end. This is why I argue that as far as recomps go, AI hasn't provided any sort of speedup. Making a barebones recompilation was always easy and required very little time.

The pattern we've been seeing for several months so far is that a new type of person has entered the scene that thinks that because AI gets them over the hurdle of getting the game running, the job is basically done. And they need nothing but a credit card and a subscription to an AI service.

Any claims you've seen about AI speeding up this "tedious" process are false when recompilation is involved. We've had multiple instances of human developers being able to get a recomp running in less than a day back when these tools were launched two years ago. A polished result takes much longer.

I still see a lot of confusion about what decompilation, recompilation and ports are and what level of effort is involved in each type of project. It's important that people understand the difference, as recompilation took a drastically different meaning that when it was originally introduced.

I don't care for the term "mobian" to describe Sonic-type anthros in-universe bc I conversely think it's cool how Sonic and co aren't considered some separate magical species from the "normal" cats or birds. they're just animals but different, and calling them mobians is esoteric scifi nonsense

ASOBI is the perfect studio under Sony's belt for an Ape Escape revival, but if they're not making it then what are we doing?

🦇Batty🦇 @m3gab4tty.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

This is not dismissing Evening Star and their talent, this is looking at the situation realistically. I would love a new Ape Escape, it has been my favorite PlayStation franchise ever since I was a toddler, but they're not bringing it back.

🦇Batty🦇 @m3gab4tty.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

People really believe Sony would make a new Ape Escape, a series that has been dormant for over 15 years, and just hand it to Evening Star of all studios? They've only ever made two games, let alone one 3D game and it was a mixed bag. I doubt Sony would just hand off their legacy IP to ANYONE

Also PSO fans who never played Burning Rangers are missing out - there's a direct evolutionary line in concept design and gameplay from Burning Rangers to Phantasy Star Online Check out this Burning Rangers concept art and tell me it doesn't look like an early draft for PSO characters
