Section for discussing the de-compilation and recompilation scene

[sandogma sandogma]

I'm looking for an appropriate forum section to discuss gaming de-compilation and recompilation. For example, the Star Fox 64 de-compilation recently completed and now there is a PC port that just dropped. While this topic is fairly new and may not generate a lot of posts, I imagine in 2025 we will see some more activity in the de-compilation and recompilation scene, especially for the N64 platform as this year alone we have Majora's Mask, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and now Star Fox 64. So people here may want to talk about it. I see we have an Emulation section, but that is not the same. If you all feel these topics should be lumped in with emulation, however, then perhaps that section should be renamed to something that encompasses all these things. Perhaps "Emulation & Reverse Engineering". Thoughts?

Upvoted, i think this could be cool. Diablo was also somewhat recently de/re-compiled by the Devilution team on github and I never see anyone talking about it. It would be nice to have projects like these all grouped together for people interested to read more about them

I really like this idea. Some companies (you know whom I refer to) hate decomps, but it should be well enough under the immediate radar to put them here somewhere.
