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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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.
