PR probably wants to tightly control the narratives around those.

saw it last night, it was great

Yeah, but the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 chip in the cartridge wouldn't have existed back then. Not to take away from anything they did (it's still impressive), but you have a custom cpu doing the heavy lifting, and the famicom is generated sprites on the screen. So it's hardly "sock famicom hardware"

wow, glad those got preserved

And this was the last time we ever heard from Brandon.

Sorry I don’t. Since I make full non-matching decomps, I never hunted down the SH2 compilers.

That was months ago, I was curious about it.

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

This was hand-written over course of about 10y. The game was in a playable state years before LLM were a thing. I did experiment with claude a bit a few months back to see what the fuss was about and if it could automate some of the repetitive and mechanical tasks.

Looks so quiet. I should be around later today

@kohler.bsky.social that's the weird game I pulled out of your stack of CDs at CAX last year

Back in February I headed up to Marin to backup some of Aric's old CDs from LucasArts era. In one of the backup, this odd demo surfaced. It's now preserved online.

In a very Indy-like move, we've unearthed a never-before-seen Lucasfilm Games Indiana Jones adventure! Note that we said "adventure," not "game." For possibly the first time ever, here's Indiana Jones and the Quest for Paradise VGA, the best ten-minute commercial you'll see this week.

In development. Gotta build it yourself for now

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

haven't looked too much at the code, but since it seems to be opengl, renderdoc should be able to help (assuming we are not talking about ancient opengl)

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Note that I built the same system for PS1 and Xenogears decomp

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

it's a modified Ymir. I should probably put it up on github

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Then I poke the memory and register to validate values make sense and compare to my local copy, asserting if it's diverging.

110

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Should be generic enough to be usable on other games. It's mostly a mailbox between my code and a modified Ymir with some connection into the debugger. Conceptually, my code runs ahead, and when entering specific bits of code will just tell the debugger to run to a breakpoint.

(fixed the greenish back color too since I recorded this video)

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

This already allowed me to fine a bunch of subtle bugs (and some major ones!) that would cause collisions to misbehave in the decomp. Also added an input record/replay to deterministically replay the same inputs over while I'm debugging.

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Wrote a test harness that let me run the decompiled game in lockstep with the Ymir emulator, validating that for the same input, the game behavior remain faithful to the original code. This checks character position, camera, collisions, and can easily add more. #panzerdragoonsaga #reverseengineering

How well did those age? Any that were not readable anymore?

That's crazy. Must have looked amazing on a CRT

000

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

For very fine tuned code aka critical systems, it still needs a lot of handholding and tends to reinvent the wheel a bit too much At this point I mostly use it for the not super critical stuff, and keep those for mostly me to hand roll as necessary. Also need to be weary of gaslighting sometjmes :-)

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

It’s good at taking care of all the mundane little things that one would not want to spend too much tjme on. It also helps a ton if you know what you want and how you would code it youself. Clause is also very good (in my experience) at explaining how code works in a foreign codebase.

I played so much Ouendan, but barely any EBA. Maybe I should fix that.

I recall reading years and years ago that the Cryo logo was supposed to be a human in a cryopod buried somewhere on Mars.

yaz0r @yaz0r.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Tonight I'm trying to debug collisions. Very little progress, but I did add some better way to display the collisions meshes as that are tested by the engine. Large cities are sectorized in cells, so only a fraction of the collisions are processed around Edge. #panzerdragoonsaga #reverseengineering
