The full story
A maker asked Claude Opus 5.5 to produce native desktop versions of StarFox, StarFox 2 and Sonic CD from the game ROMs. Claude analysed the ROMs, built high-level hardware runtimes and added resolution, framerate, audio and controller improvements, plus features such as SuperFX overclocking and true 16:9 in Sonic CD.
After a correction in the comments, the maker says "decompilation" was too loose a word: at least for Sonic CD the result looks more like a game-specific emulator with generated disassembly and static recompilation than a clean rebuild of the original source.
