PS1 Recompilation Tool "RecompOne" Prioritizes Human Engineering Over AI, Developer Says
Developer Flaffy is building RecompOne, a static recompilation tool for PS1 that converts PlayStation 1 executables into C# code with a runtime layer for modern PC compatibility. Using Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as a test case, the project emphasizes human-driven engineering over AI-generated code. The developer explicitly states that AI is useful as a research tool but cannot replace human judgment in complex software recompilation work.
Key quotes
AI can be a useful research tool, but it does not replace the human judgment
