Show HN: Development Journey on Game Decompilation Using AI

Hey, ever wanted to fully understand or tweak a nostalgic game that you love?

So, I’m documenting my journey on matching decompiling a retro game, step by step, using AI and self-made tools. Three chapters are done, and the fourth is in progress.

Matching decompilation is a fun reverse engineering challenge that paves the way to learn more about a game and fully customize it.
