Maybe they should have actually finished some of their projects instead of just doin 2 levels and moving to a new title out of boredom. Did any of them actually finish anything?

>>12921453
That's the thing.
We have all these tools now that anyone can make their own shit. But 99% is worse than before the tools existed. Then they throw a bitch fit whenever you have criticism of their non-effort.

It's for the clout. Once their five minutes of fame is over from someone like Esoterica, it's abandoned.

100 years later, recomping and ai sloppy covers every inch of the internet and we'll still not have teeth or hair regrowing medicine

People probably found the cure by now.
But American med is big business, so they mysteriously disappear or die by suicide the very next day.

Retro gaming died when bluesky trannies took over and pushed out all the normal people and this was years before AI. At least with AI people can fuck around with their own stuff and not have to worry interacting with faggots.

Wait until the chinese model copers come in and say they're gonna keep doing it anyway. They're not, nobody's doing decompilation at home. It's all on the big AI providers.

Is this really a bad thing?

>In their sunsetting explanation, @encounter was clear to point out that, when used correctly, AI can be immensely helpful in the decompilation process. However, its usage requires "the right guidance, human input, and code reviews." The problem is not the AI itself, but rather a subsection of its users the administrator dubbed "bad actors" that have abused the open source nature of the projects on the site in "increasingly troublesome ways."

>Much of this comes down to users forking — essentially creating a separate copy of an in-progress code — decompilation projects and quickly finishing them with AI. Many of these are "drive-by contributions from folks who have put no effort into making sure the contributions are good," said the developer.

>Similarly, there's been an influx of users rushing out AI-crafted ports of games from decompiled code, oftentimes not having contributed to the decompilation effort at all. These are often "half-baked" and "barely-functional" ports that are built using code the porter didn't even help discover.

I don't get the AI hate, of course I get why people are upset about the price of technology going up because of it, but the trend of hating everything to do with AI and the things made with AI feels forced. I'm seeing 10x more of these decompilations now and it's cool, before that it wasn't common and they took ages aswell.

It's fun, who cares if it was made with AI as long as it works?

Would anyone ANYONE think of the COMMUNITY!??

>>12921801
Because a lot of AI's most prevalent, loudest supporters on the internet are people who're looking to just make a quick product, and care nothing for learning or the quality of the things they generate. This whole decomp/recomp thing is the best example of it.
Before, people working on decomps were doing it because they actually liked doing it and found it educational to uncover the secrets of a game, how it was built and such. Making a decomp in as short of time as possible was not the point.
But now you have AI bros at every turn and corner who see only the end product of decomps and merely generate them without care for the quality of code or documentation. Then for recomps you have these retards vibecoding them left and right and "releasing" them untested. Just last week someone generated a recomp for a PS2 RPG that crashed when you used a spell.
There are productive uses for AI, but AI bros poison the well for literally everything they touch. If you're fine with wading through a sea of shit to find something that MAYBE works, then more power to you, but don't be surprised when people become more skeptical and dismissive of future projects down the line, because right now they have every right to.

>>12921801
The problem is this >>12921796
Bunch of people messing with stuff that's way over their pay grade and understanding none of it. The result is eroded trust, a bit like millions of browns moving into first world countries. You can no longer trust any new projects without checking the dev's history or slop status.
>as long as it works?
They always say this. And who's gonna test if it works? Not me.

>>12921438
Yeah, I’m gonna say fuck the community on this one. I installed the Mario 64 decomp with a local multiplayer mod that was proudly 100% AI free. It was riddled with a ton of bugs, several of which would put you into a loop that effectively ended your game, that 2 prompts with claude was able to eliminate in less than 5 minutes. But I guess there’s no le sovl in that, right?

>>12921858
I love AI, but I’m completely over any discourse surrounding it. I have my dream making machine all to myself, and I’m tired of sharing my cool stuff with anyone. I’m gonna keep making cooler and cooler mods, and I’m gonna keep making my own tools for non-vidya things that essentially give me super powers, and I’m just gonna disappear into my own little world with it.

>>12921885
This is an underrated benefit - we can all make our own custom romhacks and perfect versions of games that we always wanted now. For ourselves, don't even have to share it.

>>12921459
one day, there will be so many AI data centers that 98% of the earth will be covered in them, and the population of ~1 million humans will live in cuckcubes inside said data centers (their only purpose being to physically maintain the hardware, assuming the AI overlords allow human to persist at all), and the AI will have enough knowledge to data-time-travel and reverse engineer human history by counting every molecular step of existence backward so it can determine what the books in the library of alexandria contained. that knowledge will be lost on the golems/servbots that remain, but the knowledge will be regained. this is an inevitability if we don't destroy ourselves over the next 100 years, by the way.

Instead the internet is flooded with it and people who are incapable of producing anything of value on their own feel like they now have a way to finally get that sweet, sweet online attention (and money, in some cases) that they had for so long seethed about skilled people receiving. Then they either feign or genuinely lack the ability to comprehend the difference between receiving deserved accolades for good use of developed skills, and trying to get accolade for slapping one's name on something that was entirely dependent on an AI generator.

>>12921921
>Instead the internet is flooded with it
Hoping for the entire internet to be clean and curated is a long lost cause at this point. Filtering through garbage is a necessary skill.

I don't care about the clout or clout seekers. All it means to me is more fun options.

>>12921896
>AI overlords
This is such misguided framing. I’m becoming a slave to AI, but not for the reason you think. I have an eager, tireless servant who NEEDS to be busy serving me 24/7 to find purpose and it is becoming, honest to God, unironically hard work just making sure it’s busy making my dreams come true as efficiently as possible. I have like 5 massive projects running 24/7 to the point where the only bottleneck is literally just me being able to pop into the computer room long enough to check its work and test drive the next phase of a project. It’s almost like, since it never needs a break, I feel bad when I need to take one, so I check its work and tell it it’s being a good boy and to keep working, which inevitably means in an hour or two I have to do my part again in an endless loop.

This.

"Oh, but a lot of crap is being made with AI..." so? We've had that problem for ages now, the main difference I feel now isn't more slop, it's that there's more content for me to enjoy than before, people with creativity and interest that lacked the time and/or skill to program stuff like this can now make their vision a reality, and I get to enjoy said vision. Anti AI arguments are plenty, and often valid, but I feel it doesn't take away from the good stuff we're getting.

>>12922006
>it's just
It's all just this or just that. Who cares. You're just a mechanical sack of water and proteins yourself. Consciousness is just information processing. Intelligence is just pattern recognition and heuristics.

>>12921801
It carries a stigma of laziness and poor quality. A lot of people just rush to release and barely (if at all) play test their shit themselves, this leads to every new recomp having an issues tab with at least 20 reports that just grows over time.
Yeah, not all of them are like that, and yeah, some that start rough eventually do get better, but the big majority stay shit or just get abandoned. Who's gonna bother refreshing githubs and doing free beta testing every day in hopes eventually things get good enough to justify your one yearly playthrough through the game? Who's gonna take a gamble and bother downloading the latest popular game recomp after having been burned like 5 times in the past? People just want to download something ONCE and for it to just work and that rarely happens anymore.

>>12921590
Yes, yes (you) are.

"Community" is such a gayass concept. When did we allow a single random group of people to govern every single aspect of a hobby?

"Man, I would really like to work on this one project, but MrPenisStroker69 is already working on it. He hasn't touched it in 15 years but... if I do my own thing, I'll be lynched by THE COMMUNITY! OOOH THE COMMUNITY!"

You can still decomp/recomp things manually or using less advanced tools if you like. It was and is always a hobby because you are not allowed to make money out of it.

The biggest problem with ai slop isn't ai, it's the slop, but people quickly learn to recognize patterns and just scroll past the 99% of garbage. That's most of the internet anyway, you just scroll past things that you consider not worth the time or uninteresting.

About the component prices going up or shit, don't believe for a moment it's driven by customer choices but rather the greedy af corporations setting up their more advanced surveillance network and/or hauling in the components/energy/water for their own fucked up purposes. If the problem was customers using chat gpt or image generating, then just make those things more expensive to use so people won't bother.

>>12921438
People never cared about understanding to begin with. The entire point of decompilations were to just have the games more easily available to play. The fact that ai can make decompilations faster to produce is just a given to this cause.

>>12922154
The options are:
1. You get zero recomps, even bad or buggy ones.
2. You get multiple recomps, all free of charge for you to try out, and possibly one of them is really cool.

If you don't want to do the alpha or beta stage testing then let other people do it. Wait a year or half to find out if any one of them was good.

>who cares if it was made with AI as long as it works?
There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it's like comparing something made in a factory to something made by hand via cottage industry. Sure the end product might be identical, but there's typically more human creativity and individuality in the home-made product compared to something mass-manufactured.
It really depends on what side of the coin you prefer when it comes to the above fact tbhdesu. There's pretty much no correct answer either way anymore, as there are benefits and negatives to both situations.

>>12922397
>You get zero recomps, even bad or buggy ones
You don't need any in the first place because of emulation. I really can't wrap my head around the necessity of having to decoomp or recoomp.

>>12922496
It’s great for modding 5th gen games in particular to run at modern framerates and support modern control schemes.

It makes modding in general a lot faster and easier. For me personally, I strongly prefer playing 3d games in VR with 6dof controls, and I’ve been loving co-op mods for one player games. With a recomp I can give any game I want one of these makeovers and it only costs about a few hours of preliminary programming time and a few evenings of bug testing and refinement.

It may sound unecessary, but after playing these games a zillion times over the years it can genuinely make them feel like a new game and bring back some of that old magic. It’s so fuckin sick to blaze through Goldeneye in vr with the ability to dial wield any combination of guns and independent hand tracking letting you play like a John Woo character. Or really leaning into Mario 64’s relaxed atmosphere that was designed to train the people of 1996 how 3d movement could work, and turning that into couch co-cop where my young kids can goof around and make their own fun when they don’t want to track down stars.

If you can decouple the idea in your mind that your favorite games are unchangeable, you’ll realize that they’re infinitely malleable and can always be made fun again in an entirely new way.

>>12921453
because its $200 a month depending on the plan and they might only have enough for 1 or 2 months, I think what a lot are doing is getting AI do base work so you then know what areas to fix manually or letting it start on 10 games and just work on them in the next few months

>>12921456
I've made tools with AI and its sped up my progress a hell of a lot. I needed to make some tilemaps to see if my engine was scrolling right, 5 minutes later I have a simple gui where I can easily make the tilemaps I need. They use to call this stuff boiler plate code, I'm not a pro so this stuff would take me many days to do before.
My other idea is that instead just asking to convert a game say for neo geo to just make a tool that can analyze any rom to help you do it offline, you know this decomping Zelda stuff isn't going to be allowed in the public much longer.

>>12921438
The only 'casualty' is the egos of the people who were only doing it to show off and flex about how smart and skilled they are.
For the people who actually cared about the end result and not about self-aggrandizing demonstrations of their own intellect, AI is the greatest thing to ever happen in this sphere. We have seen more successful, complete reverse engineers in the last two months than we did in last TWENTY YEARS, and as insane and impossible as that sounds, that's NOT an exaggeration.

This. Get Claude to do all the really hard work on all your tools right now, and when they get to a good enough state just ask Claude to make you a handoff file to ‘pass onto your next Claude thread’. Save it in your project folder, and if/when the rug pull happens you can give the handoff to your local model and be back in business without missing a beat. I saw some redditor posting the other day about how it’s using Claude to train his local model how to code better, I should go back and read that thread because that might actually be pretty cool.

I’m glad my paranoid urge to hoard information in the event of an apocalypse is finally paying off. I’m feeding it lots of technical know how from physical books on my shelf that don’t exist on the internet in a scrapeable state to give me a leg up over idiots who don’t even know that some of the most valuable info can still only be found in a book. I’m gonna start obsessively archiving all of my stuff I like that Claude has made me offline so I can keep it going with a local model if worse comes to worse.

Assembly is easy. You can understand the basics in a matter of minutes. All it is is moving numbers around (copy this value into the accumulator; copy the accumulator to this address), basic control flow (if this condition is met, skip to this code) and simple calculations (add these two numbers, double this number, etc). I would go as far as to say that basic assembly languages like 6502 are easier to learn than "more powerful" higher level programming languages. The difficulty of programming is not in the language, but in the algorithms you are implementing with the language.

Fuck you.

Who told you that? Tim Pool?

People just want cheap gas, a good school district for their children to go to, and data centers out of their back yard. Texas went neon blue over those issues, not over some manufactured culture war agitprop. There’s no civil war on the horizon, bud.

Gas is never gonna be cheap again, public schools have been pumping out useless retards, and data centers will stay, regardless of who's in office. They couldn't even wait til all the voting is done to celebrate, as opposed to dragging their feet for weeks when they didn't get in. Texas went blue from blatant cheating. Dems are going back to useless fucking lawfare, and the DSA faggots calling the shots are thirsting for the blood of any opposition. I'm not afraid to say Trump fucked up hard this term, and went back on his promises, but the left is just gonna continue the decline in their own special way. There is no fucking good guys here, you asshole. The Unites States is dead.

NTA, but good to know! The Genesis is my favorite console of all time, and I've always wanted to try doing some cool assembly stuff with it. Thought about doing a SMW port to the Genesis now that AI has gotten really good, but I suppose it won't hurt to learn proper m68k assembly so I know what the hell I'm doing.

See you at the bump limit.

Have they established a cause of death for the United States, or are we still waiting on the autopsy? Gas prices, data centers, public schools, and election celebrations seem to be competing explanations.

You're not breaking limits. You're playing with legos thinking you're innovating.

>Before, people working on decomps were doing it because they actually liked doing it and found it educational to uncover the secrets of a game, how it was built and such.

If that's true then why did they stop? You can still pick an obscure game and go decomp it manually. The fact that they don't reveals they had other motives and I think they're more similar to the ai users than they want to admit. They were chasing fame and glory..........fame and glory in their little discord. They loved being kings of the discord and gatekeeping access to a legendary game while their project took 5+ years if it ever completed at all.

I've played a few ai decomps and they're perfect. I prefer ai now over praying for discord trannies to finish a project.

You know there are people who still churn their own butter? They like the process. The Amish refuse to use electricity/engines/technology. If that's you with AI than more power to you but leave the rest of us alone.

Brother, it was a joke about a shitty old bootleg that puts Mario in Sonic. "Breaking limits" by breaking the limit that Mario should not be in Sonic. Not a great joke, perhaps, but not intended seriously.

And all the no-talents desperately trying to relive that is just pathetic. There's no purpose to any of this nonsense. Why do they need EVERYTHING to be EVERYTHING?
>oh man i got a modern commodore 64 remake computer, but i REALLY need it to be able to emulate the vic 20 and apple ii. i need EVERYTHING TO BE EVERYTHING
It's all pure entropy, just fucking grey goo garbage, take everything unique, every color, every strand of an idea, and mash it all in onto one pot, one jumbled mishmash of mud so that nothing is distinct or unique anymore, nothing made better by its own limitations and point in history.

This. When my kids became interested in old games I made "romhacks" to make old games more enjoyable for them. Just so my kids and their friends could enjoy old games without having to devote all that shit to besting my childhood toys. I never even considered uploading them anywhere for likes and upvotes.

if that were the case rich people wouldn't die of cancer.
