It is not fair use in itself: https://courses.cs.duke.edu/cps182s/fall02/cscopyright/Copyr... Decompiling object code produces an approximation of the original source code. Merely making this rough copy would usually violate the copyright holder's exclusive rights, even if the person who decompiled the code only used it as a preliminary step in making another work. The only reason anyone believes this is fair use is…

It is more likely to be fair use in this specific instance, as the copyrighted work to which the analysis is applied to is the whole game, not the code itself. A big part of fair use analysis is in the effect on the market for the original work. If people have to obtain a copy to even use the project in any interactable way, the effect is either none (if we suppose every user of the project gets their original copy i…

Could you share a link?

Thanks, I should have included it in the original comment. https://github.com/garrettjoecox/anchor This is a fork of the Ship of Harkinian PC port for ocarina of time. If you just want to play the normal game on PC, you can go to the original repo here: https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Shipwright

Very cool! These decompilation projects are getting more and more ambitious! We’ve had androids games ported to the PS vita, Super Mario 64 running on a modded PS4, I’ve got diable 1 one my switch. It’s great!! Thanks to the hard workers!!

What was the Android game ported to PS Vita? It sounds challenging but not nearly as much given the Vita CPU is ARM and GPU supports OpebGL ES 2. Lots of the Vita components were phone components.

The ports work because the Vita has an Arm v7 processor and Android games can run on the bare metal. The developers figured out that they just needed to patch some methods (presumably IO, gpu calls, and OS methods) to work on the Vita’s OS. https://wololo.net/2022/11/10/ps-vita-android-ports-30-games...
