The author reported that the AI frequently failed to identify object IDs when mapping level data, forcing manual classification of enemies, camera zones and triggers to build an id-to-object library, and that runtime objects had to be captured by playing the game in an emulator and creating save states. The author said the AI grew more autonomous as it learned patterns and mappings, and expressed interest in reusing the generated code for level editors or engine ports.", "body_md": "## Evidence at a glance\n\nLoading source evidence…\n\n## What was done\n\nThis project explores a 'vibe-coded' decompilation of Mega Man X6, utilizing AI to map game binaries and logic. The process requires significant manual intervention to identify runtime objects and build libraries, resulting in an unfinished, experimental build.\n\nThe author reports on a trend of 'vibe-coded' decompilations, applying the method to the PlayStation 1 game Mega Man X6. The process began by supplying the raw disc binary to an AI to initiate mapping. The author documents that the workflow involves substantial manual labor, including playing the game in an emulator and creating save states to capture runtime logic. When the AI maps level data, it frequently fails to identify object IDs, requiring the author to manually classify them as enemies, camera zones, or triggers to build an id-to-object library. The author notes that as the AI learned patterns and mappings, it began to perform decompilation and construction tasks more autonomously. The resulting build is described as a 'janky, unfinished, vibe-coded monstrosity.' The author expresses interest in reusing the generated code for future projects, such as level editors or engine ports.
