Decompilation

Ogre Battle 64 Is 99% Saved. The Purists Are Furious.

The Ogre Battle 64 recompilation project is 99% complete, fully playable, and open to mods. Yet, purists are rejecting it because AI assisted in the translation. This isn’t about copyright or code qualityβ€”it’s an epistemic crisis. We are so terrified of AI contaminating our nostalgia that we’d rather let classic games rot than save them with machines.

Stop Using AI to Write Code. Start Using It to Read the Code You’re Terrified Of.

Everyone’s obsessed with AI agents that write new code. But the real unsolved problem is using them to reverse-engineer the massive backlog of undocumented, obfuscated, and malicious code we’ve accumulated. Writing code is the easy problem. Reading the code we’re terrified of is the one that actually matters β€” and agentic decompilers like Kuna are just starting to crack it open.
