No need to decompile even.

I did a similar project for an old Pentium MMX 350MHz level game and instead vibecoded an x86-32 to WASM dynarec that runs the game at 1k+ MIPS in Firefox, on my old Zen2 PC. I was shocked that this is even possible. Still feels unreal to see.

Insane is that we still don't have WebGL games with PSP quality, because the experience of doing Web 3D plain sucks regarding tooling, assets delivery, the browser blackbox of performance issues and blacklisted drivers, that is what is insane.

So much so that streaming keeps being favoured by studios, even with the lantency issues, all the productivity of native 3D development, while using the browser as a window into the game.

AI excels at this because it can work at the function level to brute force decomp to C with void* fiascos and keep trialing and erroring until the compiled md5sum matches the original binary’s. The resulting source will be unreadable and unmaintainable but at least compiler and platform agnostic.

Humans are still better at this given time. Check out sm64’s decomp quality

what ? naaa back in the day emulation was crazy with HLE etc.... like there use to be bleem emulator on the dreamcast the ran ps1 games
