A list compiled by WumpaGem on Backloggd catalogs numerous retro game decompilations not created using AI-assisted “Vibe-Coded” methods, showcasing projects at various stages from planning to playable states. Notably, decompilations of Twilight Princess and Majora’s Mask are playable, while Ocarina of Time remains planned, partly due to the recent Ship of Harkinian AI-coded recompilation; Mario 64 has five separate recompilation projects underway. This resource highlights the ongoing community efforts to reverse-engineer classic games through traditional reverse-engineering techniques rather than AI-generated code.
