Randomly inserting myself here but I'll explain The main purpose of a decomp is to understand the code. If the goal was just to be 1-1, it could just be fully automated to output code that a computer can read but a human can't. Useless for fixing vanilla bugs or modding Alt text has more info
Example of the kind of raw output from Ghidra (the game is Link's Awakening remake). Makes sense to a computer but a human cannot make any sense of it

No variables are properly named and the compiler optimizes common math functions to the point where it looks like gibberishShows a c++ replace hook into the shown Ghidra function. Because we were able to learn what the code does (taking the joystick input and mapping it to 1 in 8 directions), we can change the behavior to give the game full 360 directional movement

If you can’t be bothered to put in the time and effort to make something, why should I put in the time to and effort play it?

With that said, if anyone has any recommendations...

I want to see more videos of people learning how to speedrun that aren't just the popular games that have already been done to death

It's been a couple days but I got a bit of time to polish this up real good

Working on a mod for Twilight Princess (Dusklight) so you can just plop a VRM into the game and it just works.

Just a warning for everyone, since Video Game Slopterica keeps being the most irresponsible YouTube Channel to exist these days. The Banjo-Tooie Recompilation is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances.

Polished it up a bit

I've only been showing this area because I'm having trouble getting some things to work how I want to lol. I'll spoil one of those things though... Ice leaf echo to snowboard anywhere 😳

Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Did some polishing up before I move onto making the echo menu - The projectile now simulates Tri better - The effect when spawning echoes is reactive to the environment - Bind now forces focus on the actor and it moves properly with collision detection

Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Several of the super simple mods that were vibe coded have more lines of code than my Tri Rod mod that handles target detection, copying echoes, spawning echoes, binding objects... Like yeah ok man have fun when your shit eventually breaks lmao

Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
It's honestly so demotivating to see how many dusklight mods are vibecoded. Especially because it does unfortunately produce "results" fast It makes me feel like I'm being super slow to make mine. But I know the effort of actually understanding everything is going to be worth it

Would it be too corny to call it the Twi Rod

Sprint after roll is by MelonSpeedruns and completely separate from my mod

Guess I'll share this early WIP on a mod I'm making for Dusklight
210
Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
From a conversation I had with one of the devs, the team settled on this because people would still use AI if it were fully banned and just hide it, so this way you at least can tell. I don't fully agree with that myself but I at least understand where they're coming from I guess

Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Having to come up with a new solution is fine by me though because I might be able to write something to force 30fps for people on lower end hardware
000
Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Basically, noping out a function call that sets up certain vsync info worked to force 60fps. But in newer atmosphere versions (meaning I can't use emu to test lol) it seems to have stricter rules and throws an error if certain data isn't explicitly defined?
100
Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
I'm silly and updated my switch to the latest version to do some speedrun testing (some games boot significantly slower, doesnt effect all switches, mine included) So now I have to wait until atmosphere updates before I can fix an issue with my LAS custom code injection 🫠

I let one of my cats on my desk and he was lying partly on my keyboard. I left and came back to 3 tabs of "Work smarter across Microsoft 365 with Copilot" Getting rid of him now as I speak /s

The discourse around the dedicated jump button in the OoT remake is stupid and truly does not matter, but I don't get the main argument against auto jump You'll just fall now instead of jump. Accidentally running off ledges will still happen

First thing recommended to me this time was "Vibe Coding to save humanity" Ah yes saving humanity by using the very thing that is actively making every aspect of life worse for everyone

I can't even enjoy browsing the Software and Game Development category on Twitch anymore because it's infested with vibe coders

The fact that Link plays the ocarina correctly in the remake is incredible It's not even just the notes being correct, but also the fact that he tilts the ocarina depending on lower or higher notes

Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Also OoT was supposed to be more realistic in the first place
010
Owen @owen-splat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Anyone saying that the OoT remake looks like those unreal engine remakes either are judging from the screenshots or genuinely have no ability to see artstyle Those unreal videos were a mashup of styles and just awful

Was doing some late night practice for LAS Damageless Any% and got my first ever 9 blue balls lmao Ganon phase is the only part of the entire run that has me scared. My goal is going to be sub 1:10, which should be pretty lenient

This is Miyamoto here to make an announcement regarding The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct scheduled for Sept 8. I have accidentally deleted about 90% of the footage for the Direct, and I will enlist the help of Reggie to perform shadow puppets in it's place. We hope you look forward to it.

So several indie devs had their equipment stolen at gamescom and their response was basically "The devs should have hired better security" Holy shit, fuck gamescom
