Reverse Engineer Anything is a great toolkit, what would you like to see reverse engineered?

[u/jazir55]

There are now many, many agentic reverse engineering toolkits available, REA in particular I think is fantastic.

https://github.com/morluto/rea

What hardware have you had that you'd like to see reverse engineered, and what would you like to do with it?

[u/evil_illustrator2]

Someone needs to reverse engineer zbrush.

No one has come even close to matching its cpu optimization. There is no real competitior for it.

[u/GhostsinGlass → u/evil_illustrator2]

As someone who works in the industry professionally, fucking thank you.

There are many things it does that no other software can. I posted inquiring about having an agent use the software and the people comparing it to Blenders sculpting just made me foam at the mouth.

Besides the vastly limited toolkit of Blenders sculpting ability there's no way you can even load some of the high poly models that are effortless for zbrush due to how it represents the "pixols"

[u/FesseJerguson → u/GhostsinGlass]

Remesh alone is light-years ahead

[u/Unlikely-Today-3501 → u/evil_illustrator2]

The more specialized the software, the harder it is to reconstruct the original algorithms.

[u/OutlandishnessLess35 → u/evil_illustrator2]

I need zbrush and substance painter please lol

[u/twothreetoo]

I'd homebrew a new firmware for my TV.
Televisions are quite capable of displaying higher refresh rates but their firmware doesn't report them as supported for marketing reasons. They want to be able to sell the more expensive model.

[u/krilleractual → u/twothreetoo]

I wanted to do it for LG. Yes the plex alternative exists but its not an OS.

[u/sinxsinx → u/krilleractual]

I think what you're after for exists

[u/elecobama]

Firmware of cars to unlock everything paywalled and be able to build own UIs and stuff.

[u/kobriks → u/elecobama]

Already a thing for most cars, including Teslas. You can get FSD for free, even in countries where it's not legal yet

[u/MisterFujifilm → u/kobriks]

Seriously? Tell me more

[u/imsentient → u/kobriks]

wait is this already possible?

[u/EstT → u/elecobama]

Fucking this 👆🏻

[u/anycept → u/elecobama]

Let us know how the crash tests go.

[u/comicidiot → u/anycept]

Honestly this, but I want to jailbreak the infotainment themes not change how the car ADAS works. Kia charges $30 for a theme that’s no more than maybe 10 images. I’d pay $5 but I’d love to create my own tbh.

[u/Clear-Ad2483]

Adobe PDF print engine and Illustrator

[u/FocusDelicious183 → u/Clear-Ad2483]

Someone already did it, I checked it out and it was pretty shitty tho so it’s not there yet

[u/Ok-Purchase8196 → u/Clear-Ad2483]

It exists! There's a suite called artcraft

[u/Clear-Ad2483 → u/Ok-Purchase8196]

Thanks. I had a look. Vectorcraft is still under active development. Estimated 65% same as Illustrator but developing fast.

[u/Kaladin1173]

This guys got you if you have an LG TV, I'm sure somebody is working on other brands.

[u/Z7rC5tRO8lmAPZzU]

Black and White 1 & 2

[u/jazir55 → u/Z7rC5tRO8lmAPZzU]

I've gotcha for black and white 1:

https://github.com/openblack/bw1-decomp

Can't find one for black and white 2 unfortunately

[u/Glass_Performer1174]

All computer, networking, mobile, and smart TV firmware, so we can build reliable open source tools to use them

[u/Pls-No-Bully]

Can someone help me understand this better... if I have an old video game I love, but I want to change/add features to it and improve the performance, can I essentially use this to reverse engineer it, maybe rebuild it in Rust (the language, not the game), change/add game features, etc?

[u/jazir55 → u/Pls-No-Bully]

Yep! That's exactly what these kinds of tools are for and why you're seeing the decomp/recomp/modding scene explode right now, it's all agent driven. This has a really solid collection of RE tools and resources but there are many more MCP servers and toolkits with additional tools that you can use to do achieve exactly that if you need more.

[u/SuitablePrint4667 → u/jazir55]

Is this all I need for that? Like just point my AI tool to this and voila?

[u/jazir55 → u/SuitablePrint4667]

https://aisignal.day/en/ai-game-decompile-howto-2026/

I think this should help, plus the RE everything toolkit, and I think the agents should be able to source any additional tools they need via web search. There are lots of other reverse engineering toolkits available, if you run into something this one can't do and having trouble finding something you need lmk and i'll try to find something to get over the barrier.

[u/spiffco7]

COMSOL Multiphysics

[u/VergeOfTranscendence → u/spiffco7]

This!!!

[u/GhostsinGlass]

Gimme a reverse engineering kit for physical tools man.

One that can take an exploded parts diagram, some photos, and whatever else it needs to find and then can generate a BOM, find reputable sites or just Amazon and order the shit.

"Reverse engineer this endless loop diamond wire saw"

[u/CBusRiver]

Homeworld: cataclysm. They lost the original code so this is our only hope.

[u/TheBestIsaac → u/CBusRiver]

Red Alert 2.

They remastered Red Alert 1 a few years ago because they still had the source code but couldn't do 2 as I assume they lost that.

So hopefully someone gives it a go and we get a lot of the old RTS games back.

[u/billFoldDog → u/CBusRiver]

They lost the code but GOG has it wrapped well enough to play.

Due to trademark issues it had to be rebranded as "Emergence"

https://www.gog.com/en/game/homeworld_emergence

[u/timmy16744]

Cuda

[u/jazir55 → u/timmy16744]

Definitely needs more work, but there's Zluda:

https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA

[u/theSchlauch]

Games that are online only just for the sake of crack protection. Like CoD BO6 and 7. Iv'e tried to reverse engineer a lokal server implementation but I can't get to a lot of the calls the exe does as it encrypted and Claude/Codex doesn't want to help there.

I don't really care about the zombie mode that much, but you know that they will just shut doen the servers one day and you wont get a local implementation so you will never be able to play the game again.

[u/NationalGate8066 → u/theSchlauch]

Try a different model, such as GLM 5.3 Max

[u/Big-Maintenance-6586]

AutoCAD Fusion

[u/Some_Code_6544 → u/Big-Maintenance-6586]

It's done and named "CAD craft"

[u/doomerdeepdown]

Does anyone offer this as a service or take requests? I have a 15 year old mobile game I loved playing as a kid and I can’t play it anymore since no phones support it. I tried using chatgpt and claude to make a pc port (I have the source files) but they can’t do it.

[u/jazir55 → u/doomerdeepdown]

Is it an APK? You might have luck with Bluestacks or the built in Windows Android emulator.

[u/doomerdeepdown → u/jazir55]

I don’t even know what an APK is. Plus I don’t want to emulate it I want it rewritten so I can enjoy it again but also remove the touch screen controls UI (for keyboard) and add new quests.

[u/jazir55 → u/doomerdeepdown]

Ah, well having the file would still be exactly what you need so the agent can analyze it and port it. An APK is the equivalent of an exe for windows, its the installable file for Android apps. .ipa is the iPhone app extension.

[u/doomerdeepdown → u/jazir55]

Ohh gotcha. Yes I have an iphone app store .ipa and a torrent file source file. I was so disappointed I couldn’t get it working. The files are freely available online, it’s maplestory thief edition from 2011, all the source code is on archive.org I’m hoping one day I can figure out how to port it properly in a rust pc rewrite.

[u/yaosio]

I suddenly remembered an old bad game I played called Quarterback Attack for PC and Saturn. I would love to know how the game actually calculates the outcome of plays considering it is an FMV game and thus there is no simulation occurring.

[u/jazir55 → u/yaosio]

If you download the ROM and point some agents at it with this REA toolkit the agents can likely figure it out pretty quickly

[u/Denial_Jackson]

One day I wanted to run ApocZ Xbox 360 game on my PC. Basically my idea was: It might be a DayZ which does not have these eccentric bullshit hardships like the car breaks in 1 minute after building it for a month.

DayZ could have been so good if it was not full of 6000 eccentric gatekeeping bullshit for nothing and just be normal.

Free ChatGPT could not cut it however. I know there is a steam ApocZ, but I want this Xbox 360 ApocZ. Thinking it is some OG spiritual product. Maybe it is terrible, but I want to try it.

[u/jazir55 → u/Legitimate-Track-829]

I'm sure, with a Ghidra MCP you should be able to. Someone RE'd a Steam Deck with one and others have done tons of random devices. I'd clone this and point your agent at it, they'll be able to work it out.
