Porting OutRun with Claude, and where it needed a human

The full story

After recompiling Poker Smash from Xbox Live Arcade, MonroeWorld tried the same with OutRun, and it was much harder. He spent days on an audio crackling bug that Claude couldn't solve on its own, and the video shows what a port looks like when human work is needed to finish it.

He also answers viewers' questions: whether Claude still lets him do this, what the sessions cost, and why he didn't use a fleet of agents. He explains the difference between decompilation (recovering readable source code) and static recompilation (translating game code to another system), which is what he's doing here.

Prompt & Solder

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
