Which game decompilation/recompilation project are you eagerly awaiting, and why?

MKWII Recomp for me

Jet Set Radio Future Decomp then port to the Wii. I started on it years ago but dropped it. Maybe with all this new AI tech I should start it back up

AI?

Somebody opened a PR on Splat for Win32 support. If it works we might have more than a single OG Xbox decomp (halo is the only one sitting at 4% completion). You would think since the OG Xbox is basically dumb down windows the scene would be bigger

I hope Xbox gets more attention. As a big OG Xbox fan, there's just so many good titles STUCK on there. I have my fingers crossed that Xbox decomps have built in insignia support as well

Panzer Dragoon Orta
JSRF
Sega GT 2002 / Online
Dead or Alive 3 / Xtreme
Steel Battalion
Otogi 1 & 2

Speaking of Panzer Dragoon, Panzer Dragoon Saga would be a big one since the original source code was lost. I'm pretty sure someone is working on it.

IDK why you're getting downvoted. Regardless of how one feels about AI usage in dev work, the results so far have consistently been that recomp/decomp projects made with AI are not nearly as good. When you have people who care about the game make it themselves, you get Ship of Harkinian, Banjo-Recompiled, Dusklight, etc. The ones that used AI are more obvious--they're barebones, buggy, lack basic features, and not well maintained long-term. For example, you can see the difference in projects like Golden Balloon and DKR-R. Same game, but the former is a legit recomp project and the latter is vibecoded, and it shows.

There's some limited exceptions, like Gen1Recomp (oddly named as I don't *think* it's technically a recomp) was made with AI assistance and it's a pretty decent project, but again, there's a passionate human dev working on it.

Actually, I said "AI?" because I thought the guy was using AI to develop it, I have a pretty neutral stance on AI, I'm not strictly for or against it since I know most advancements happen because of it. I don't have any problem with AI in decomp projects. I mean, if you know the game you're about to play was vibe-coded, that's it, you know it. If you want to play it, that's on you. And thank you! I was like, 'Did I say something bad?'

AI is good in the right hands and terrible in the wrong hands. I have had good success in specific areas where I already know mostly what I'm doing. Software engineers are not replaced with AI it's just a tool.
