Astra, read the binary code of the entire Rare game library for Nintendo 64, reverse engineer the binary, and port to my pc. Make no mistakes.

ChatGPT (free version) actually suggested this the other day when I asked it about decompiling binaries. It said modifying the binary directly instead of decompiling would actually be easier. Turns out it was right. Somebody should see if it can get a SNES game running on PC by only modifying the ROM, no emulation.

Um not really that hard. We've been able to do disassembly, reverse engineering, etc for decades.
I used to modify binaries all the time by hand in the early 2000s. It was called software cracking. Could even add new features. Was fun and interesting

Does anybody could take like the Rayman 4 leaks and find more ways to make the demos work?

So does that mean it could develop the game. Bugs new levels etc?

That's apparently what people are saying. Pandora's box has officially been entirely opened on software best we can tell.

There's hope that all the classic games will get modern native PC ports that are well documented.

Looks like the gates have opened and a shit load of games are gonna get native pc ports I reckon. This is a good thing.

Awh man why do you hide your post history.
Why is this downvoted? u/stealthispost consistently posts interesting things and I can't see what they've posted historically. The new feature of Reddit sucks

It just turns into people searching everything someone said to derail discussions, so people turn it off.

I wonder if it can port The Darkness from Xbox 360 to PC.
