I saw there’s a Mother 3 static recompilation out, which is cool because the beat-synced attacks are notoriously hard to time right on an emulator
…but of course, it’s all done via AI, and the author has never done a recomp before in his life.

Emulation, decompilation, static recompilation, ports, and mods of games have all seen gargantuan leaps and bounds forward in recent months due to AI. This leaves me uneasy for a few reasons.

I still see a lot of confusion about what decompilation, recompilation and ports are and what level of effort is involved in each type of project.
It's important that people understand the difference, as recompilation took a drastically different meaning that when it was originally introduced.

Several commenters flagged a trend of recent LLM-assisted "ports" that claim native recompilation while quietly bundling emulators. Recompiling PS2 silicon—especially timing-sensitive Vector Units—without full emulation is notoriously brutal. #gamedev 2/4
