ROM Article - After 17 years, Dolphin can finally emulate the Triforce arcade — except this one obscure, ambitious card game

Plus: The latest Nintendo Switch emulation DMCA Whac-a-mole. Rockman de/recompilations for PC. Secret of Mana Reborn. Blue Dragon X360 Recomp.

Finished adding out a few updates to The Gaming Emporium (https://thegamingemporium.com/):

• RSS feed

• New dedicated Open Source category

• “Most Popular” lists so you can see what projects are getting attention

• Day/Night modes

Trying to make discovery of decompilations, source ports & fan projects easier 👍

It would be great to have some decompiled old games (GBA, SNES, N64) compiled to run inside an iPhone app.

I don't know the implications in terms of power usage versus an emulator, but I believe some gains would be massive.

Either way, the decompilation is available on GitHub to build for either platform. Apparatus fans rejoice, things are finally looking up again.

So today I got the Apparatus decomp to run on desktop after splitting up the codebase into an Android-specific project and a common project, and then brought in some code from my previous desktop port attempt putting that into a new desktop project.

It works much better than my previous attempt! Sandbox works, you can play through challenge levels and such. Absolutely spectacular seeing it running natively on desktop like this.

Today I gave another go at doing a decompilation of Apparatus. My previous attempt was almost five years ago now and didn't go particularly well, but now I feel like I am much more experienced.

After some quick fixing of decompilation quirks I managed to get it to rebuild, and after some more work I managed to get dialogs to work, levels to load and objects to render! There are still some issues remaining however, most glaring issue being some GUI elements not being drawn, but this is already way further than the last attempt.

Super Mario 64 tourne maintenant sur PlayStation 1 et c'est un sacré bordel technique !

Behold, yet another ✨ #revolutionary ✨ tool that’s here to reveal the mysteries of #Java code we lost interest in years ago! 💤 Now you can decompile faster than you can say "why am I still using Java?" 🙄 Because who doesn't love a good byte code #snooze fest? 😴

So finally I published me post about the idea of byte equivalent #decompilation of the #Linux #kernel using #EvolutionaryAlgorithms in the hope that we could mainline Android phones and tablets, whose companies are violating #GPL by not releasing the kernel source code.

I really don't know if it's possible. Or if it is, how long will it take. It's research. And research means exploring the unexplored areas. You might find a little silver, or you might find few kilograms of gold. Or you might explore the areas for 2 years and in the end, find nothing.

IDA Pro v9.2 finally released after 6 beta versions.

Some Highlights

* Major improvements on golang
* Expanded TriCore chipset coverage
* More macro instructions for v850/rh850, better handling of relocatable objects for creating FLIRT signatures
* UI: Migration to Qt6.8 from 5.15
* UI: Jump Anywhere is a new dialog, successor of the JumpAsk, is introduced
* UI: Redeginated Register subview
* CLI: No more TUI interface by `idat`

Still no release for Linux AARCH64 :/

It was a surprise to me to see that they still include the SharedConstants.VERSION_STRING in Legacy Console Edition, even though it's not used anywhere.

The version reflects the Java Edition equivalent it seems, although I think it might be off by revision? I thought Switch Edition was 1.12.2.

Java Agent как инструмент обхода лицензий: этичный анализ и защита

Обычно Java-агенты используются для сбора телеметрии, логирования, профилирования, каких-то ультрабыстрых хотфиксов и прочих скучных вещей. Но сегодня мы исследуем приложение Java-агент, которое модифицирует код другого Java-приложения “на лету” и создано для обхода лицензионных ограничений. Называть его мы будем “агент”, “вредоносный агент” и т. п. Меня зовут Сергей, тимлид бэкэнд команды Cluster Manager ГК GlowByte. Код в нашем примере будет максимально обезличен. Эта тема рассматривается исключительно в целях исследования вопросов безопасности приложений и этичного использования инструментов изменения кода во время компиляции. В конце я предложу примеры методов отслеживания несанкционированного вмешательства в Java-приложение, а также методов противодействия, чтобы избавиться от рисков, которые мы обнаружим в процессе исследования.

While folks on Macs are talking about Cyberpunk 2077 I'm having fun with a decompilation of Super Mario 64 running natively on macOS :).

https://github.com/flatmapthatshit/Render96ex_macOS

Shout out to the Render96ex maintainers! It looks exactly like how my 9 year old self remembers it on the Nintendo 64. You know: 4K, locked at 60fps, absolutely flawless models and textures, Luigi and Wario as playable characters, etc :).
