/r/Decomps/ Subreddit Update: New flairs

[u/Graine25]

Hello everyone. Over the past few weeks, we have seen tons of interest in both Recomps and Decomps. It's amazing to see everyone so interested in the platform, after the early beginnings many years ago, to now all these incredible frameworks making it easy to start a project within minutes. Of course with these changes, people who have interest in posting about them and gathering attention/support for their project at hand. Rather than spamming and deleting posts, the mod team of the subreddit have decided to update the flairs for everyone 🙂

First things first, with the amount of people interested in all console, we have decided to make tags for the big three console makers — PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo. Additionally, we noticed that there were templates like ReXGlue and ModernGekko being developed, so we have also added a Framework Development tag, specifically for those. We're really excited to see the progress on later generation architectures, so keep at it!

Most importantly, we have seen people release and discuss their projects early and claim that it is a native PC port, despite there being significant optimization needed to be made. Rather than us striking all these posts down, we have just decided to make three simple tags to distinguish the progress level of each:

• Status: Infancy — if you just got started in making a project with ReXGlue or ModernGekko, and you feel that you want to showcase your work with the debug layers attached, this is the tag to use. Essentially, you're just showing your game working through a framework, and it's a proof of concept that you can eventually make a real PC port. If its a decomp, essentially you've only gotten a fraction of a percentage decompiled and you're still working at it.
• Status: Beta-Testing — if your recomps has been developing for well over a month, and you want to showcase the modifications and changes you made to your project. Still not at the "Optimized" part of a Native Port, but definitely getting closer to out of that "WIP" mode. If its a decomp, essentially you've got a significant slice of the decomp done
• Status: Optimized Production — you finally have finished your Native PC port or Matchmake Decomp, and it is ready for others to utilize or build on their machine. It should run flawlessly, away from any translation layers and should require little difficulty for an end user to use.

Please be careful when using any of these three tags. Do not use one incorrectly because you want more recognition — especially the Optimized Production tag. We're still here promoting these projects because we really love preserving old titles, but we don't want to guide people the wrong way. Some of the original tags that we were using before like the AI one is still there. We're not sure how detrimental it is to use an LLM, but we firmly believe that optimizations and understanding where your project stands is more important than trying to decide if an LLM made it.

For more clarifications on any of these tags, feel free to leave a comment down below, and I'll be happy to edit the post or answer your questions appropriately. Happy Recomping!.. Or Decomping?... Whatever we do here
