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.

Let me know your thoughts about my posts and the VS Code extension that I'm developing, called Kappa!

Have you ever heard of matching decompilation, by the way?
