Correct, N64 and PS1 era projects can essentially always be strictly tackled one function at a time. There are very minor things (like string literal sharing) where some earlier function can affect later function, but the workarounds are co

The term for that is byte-matching decompilation. This is not such project.

Don't most harnesses already do that for bash commands?

There is more normal looking code in other files. It sounds like the original game had animation data (or similar) embedded in the C code.

Games use plenty of native code; so much in fact that when Intel tried to enter the Android tablet market with x86 they had to write an ARM emulator.

How is that any different from PyPI, npm, cargo, etc?

Correct way is to have everything as-if a source dependency, but a globally shared cache system that can automatically provide artifacts if that exact version of source has already been compiled. Any system that can only consume manually bu

Yeah, for all the hate Gemini gets, at least it isn't obsessed with adding comments and it's output is more readable than recent Claude's.

I extremely doubt it's Gemini - all previous Geminis have had very different output style from other models. In a coding harness Gemini is extremely quiet and mostly just does thinking and tool calls, with the thinking blocks heavily s

I wonder if pilots' medical checks would catch some of these early?

GPT-o3 was the first OpenAI one to beat Red. The harness used by GPT Plays Pokemon is the most featureful one of the main competitors (GPT, Claude, Gemini), IIRC. Community maintained spreadsheet of the runs: https://docs.google.

How so? In my experience, the peak of Device Tree days was with the final 32-bit ARM chips before move to aarch64. Back then you had U-Boot which did minimal stuff and after that the kernel had full ownership of the hardware, no management

Seems like I have much better results with Gemini <= 3.5 Flash being able to solve 10 Lake levels. Of course there may be methodology differences (like how many times the level is attempted from scratch). I wonder if the reasoning tokens

Good stuff, I've been trying this myself with Geminis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brkP58pZ23w&list=PL8C_UWcLmv... Will be interesting to compare the results.

I've been trying this too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brkP58pZ23w&list=PL8C_UWcLmv... Cool to see others trying Baba Is You too.

No, tool definitions are provided via some other mechanism.

I don't think this is about core kernel semaphores but rather the SysV semaphore system calls?

Ah, but you see Xbox security updates won't be for your security. They will be for protecting the console's security against jailbreaks etc.

System prompt for something like Claude Code should be identical, no?

The bottleneck was with the serial protocol between the drive and C64. It was done via bit banging in software due to some chip bug. The fastloaders replaced the protocol with something more amenable to bitbanging.

That is the reality for huge amount of ARM powered hardware, unless you fancy running vendor forks of kernel, u-boot, etc.

by dezgeg 3mo ago
You can't if the firmware provided DTB doesn't follow any upstream Linux approved bindings and instead uses some vendor kernel specific bindings.

Have you actually tested the portability? MacOS ships an ancient bash version and neither mac or BSDs use GNU version of coreutils. I'm also very doubtful performance of this would be faster than python, bash is very slow.

Quite safe in practice, even Nintendo games have had no issues. GTA 3 / Vice City decompilers did get sued though, but IIRC mainly because they did not comply with DMCA requests at all.

Yes, exact version of the original compiler is required. Generally bit-for-bit equivalence to the original executable is expected. However I think for some cases where the original executable included debug info (eg. PS2 ELFs) then the unus

I have seen some pre-AI over-mocked codebases where the "tests" where essentially that (but harder to read than regex would have been)
