#Decomp
Decomps becoming the territory of AI doesn't really surprise me because from the perspective of most people the goal of a decomp is the end product- having decompiled the software. But as someone who really cares about the journey that people take when doing that it's really fucking disappointing

no one better slop decomp ecclesia

They didn't though. You were literally linked a post earlier today showing that they just copied Photopea and made it LOOK like Photoshop.

And the AI video game decomp/recomps are inaccurate, look like shit, don't work, and everybody fucking hates them.

It's all hype and scams. Always has been.

i dont never back up my stuff but after classified wrapped up i got real careless with decomp shit so i did this not knowing whether i had a copy of the mario model on hand lol

I do wonder if anyone will ever try to decomp my game to look at my code only to fing a bunch of //unhinged rambling to myself because I basically use the //comments as notes to keep track of what I'm doing esp when I give up in the middle of something late at night

Really sad I cant trust any new mod or decomp because its probably vibecoded and will be dropped once they find a shiny new toy in a week.

yo sigo en conflicto con esos usos porque sigue siendo iagen y no algoritmos específicos para hacer decomp… entiendo lo acelerador que es y en estos temas (joder a una empresa greedy con un producto cultural) es el mal menor

Decomp Becomes Her

por supuestísimo que emuladores, decompilaciones y ports hechos de la mano de un experto van a ser más estables y estar mejor pensados, pero fíjate la diferencia de tiempo entre una buena decomp como la del OoT con el ship of harkinian y ahora lo que está saliendo cada semana de cualquier juego

The problem all of these ports have is that they need to be better than emulators since emulators have a lot of features and can run multiple bits of software. Some of these decomp projects just run like emulators from 10 years ago.

tbh someone needs to decomp SimCity 4

I got to the games section of "...considered games to be one of the areas where closes-source software would last the longest and if it's possible to reverse-engineer them, then nothing is safe" and lost interest.

Any devs who actually understand the decomp space know how bad the vibe code is.

i risked permanently overwriting my decomp project when i did this

I am an AI hater (and labeled as such), but I also despise software copyrights and patents so the recent trend to decomp expensive commercial software is deeply funny to me. I still prefer things made by people (especially games) but productivity software companies needed a kick in the ass.

well after looking at the texture formatting in this area from 1.0 official you'd probably never want to think or remember it ever again lmao /j

( I wish I could but im knee deep in: helping with spooky personalizedma ideas for a decomp hack a friend is working on™ )

I checked out Dusklight a Twilight Princess decomp and it's cool but what I find sad is the 2 biggest mods are like "I used AI to make this mod and I don't know how to program so don't ask if anything is bugged." Sigh...
October 9, 2026 at 5:46 PM
yuuup Yakumo is one and it pisses me off internally because MHP3rd could have been a fantastic PC port but that group that made it split off from the decomp group and made their own little thing :/
ive even mentioned that in a post funnily enough that honestly im better off using PPSSPP than Yakumo

Reminder for those of you considering the vibe coded Bloodborne decomp:

With all the game decompilation projects popping up because of AI I wonder how long after launch the first GTA6 decomp comes out?
October 9, 2026 at 4:56 PM
ai decomp depresses me.

Insanely depressing watching AI code plant tons of distrust and indifference towards any modding, recomp, decomp, etc projects in the span of a week. Also shows how many people viewed these efforts not as a craft in themselves, but being in the way of the end result.
