I have been using Claude for the past couple of days this week to document and modify the TR2 game file format for an obscure Japanese-exclusive Wii game called And-Kensaku, or 安藤ケンサク. And-Kensaku is a game related to Googling. There are a few game modes, but the most famous one asks you a question and gives you two answer options, and you win if you choose the most popular Google search. I have been able to do the following: 1. disable signature checks on the files, and 2. allow edits to the Phrases.tr2 file, making it possible to modify the content of the aforementioned game mode. I wanted to go on this little adventure because reverse-engineering file formats is an extremely difficult (at least for me) and time-consuming task, and I wondered how well Claude would do at it. Right now, not everything about this game is documented, but I would like to fully document it and maybe release an English patch.
