The full story
A Hacker News commenter wanted to make a Windows XP-era game play their own music instead of its dull soundtrack, which they see as fair use. The game was obfuscated, and a Saturday in Ghidra didn't crack it. Expecting Claude to refuse (it had declined other harmless tasks), they started looking into running their own local LLM. A reply suggests Codex might help.
