I wonder if it’s a real leak or just an agent recreation of the source from machine code.

I’ve been having fun lately with agents and decompilation. You can literally point them at any game and ask them to decompile the game and structure and format as if it was the original source code. Asking them to ensure it compiles works fine.

Some proof: i made online save game editors for jagged alliance 3; grandcheaten.com and news tower; thedailycheat.com (.com domains are only $10 so i figured why not).

You can do this with any game i’ve found. Older games work best due to the forced simplicity of the source code though.

It's (probably) a real leak. There are original comments in Japanese describing cut content and game logic that was scrapped in the final release.

It’s the real code there is code for known removed content (tanker escape scene and the 9/11 removed cutscene). Also AI can’t do what you’re theorizing yet.

lot of people claiming this the end result is the AI downloading an emulator and rom
