I'm still waiting on Panzer Dragoon Saga.
What is point in decomp games that already have PC versions??For anyone interested, here's the site listing active decomp projects. Games with recent updates at the top and possibly abandoned ones at the bottom.
Damn good question, you could port games to jailbroken Switches and other consoles, smart phones.
news soon
It did utilize generative AI pretty heavily, but I think that's a good application of the technology.
Just because it has a PC version doesn't mean a decomp / re-port isn't useful. You don't have the PC source either, so a decomp can allow a more modern PC version port from the decomp. You may ask "why wasn't the PC port decomped instead". It's actually a lot more difficult, as the tools used vary by a large margin vs the target consoles.

I wonder how much of it is because of ai tools. But I agree its great that decomps are getting released.
As someone in the middle of his own decomps, yes there can be regression. For example, I was holding onto some pretty gnarly ASM code used to boot the game and not porting it to C, just allowing the rest of the code to be linked c. Once I went back to "pick up" the remaining ASM, it broke A LOT of systems and full regression testing needed to occur and the game was unplayable until I recovered the C. It was about 2-3% of the code, but it was critical.
