alt Hacker NewsInsane that we can now decompile PSP games to WebGL. Emulation has come far from 2006 where ePSXe the PS1 emulator would only run on a beefy Pentium.

AI excels at this because it can work at the function level to brute force decomp to C with void* fiascos and keep trialing and erroring until the compiled md5sum matches the original binary’s. The resulting source will be unreadable and unmaintainable but at least compiler and platform agnostic.
Humans are still better at this given time. Check out sm64’s decomp quality
No need to decompile even.
I did a similar project for an old Pentium MMX 350MHz level game and instead vibecoded an x86-32 to WASM dynarec that runs the game at 1k+ MIPS in Firefox, on my old Zen2 PC. I was shocked that this is even possible. Still feels unreal to see.
