Hacker News Top ↗ · 2026-10-14 Cached

AI models are now able to decompile old video games into source code in days rather than years, enabling native ports, high-FPS enhancements, and modding support for abandoned titles like the original Flash Binding of Isaac. The trend raises both excitement for game preservation and concerns about AI's broader impact.
