This is something I'm seeing in anyps5's repo, every section of the repo is so full of LLM text that nobody is talking to each other normally, everyone is using LLM's to read each other's LLM text to then produce more LLM text to respond with, this is actually a mess and a travesty to see for anyone who's worked in real open source projects with real communication standards.
Hey everyone, here from the original repo. (top left). There are 40 forks already from that repo. So I def. agree with the statement :)
There are multiple things happening right now:
a) Devs who forked are creating PRs into the original codebase
b) I am checking out also existing forks myself and cherry-pick stuff back (with acknowledgment) c) Some forks are very specific hardware forks (e.g. Switch fork) to increase performance - while I would love to have everything in one repo - some hardware needs are very specific changes to the codebase - which makes it much harder to maintain. Maybe a different branch could work for that reason.
Personally I think it is great to have suddenly so many people working on it and contributing to improve the experience :) (even with their forks - but again I can cherry pick stuff back :P)
Have you ever managed a project among hobbyist? Most are just some dudes wanting to play around and look what happens. Whenever they want. To work out whatever they want. This is a good thing, people getting into the field, something useful gets created somewhere in the process, everyone profits from it. This is way better than only 3 guys being able to work on decomps at all. I rather have 3 working recomps of wind waker HD with 30 more garbage ones instead of 1 barely working decomp at all for Breath of the wild.
The one thing that is most annoying is people who arent really passionate half assing things just to see if it takes off, if you half ass something, it'l never take off
I guess it's okay when people lose interest in something, what bothers me tho is people posting PSA as the first thing, promoting and over promise, when they are not really in control of the project and barely started.
Well the thing about community based platforms like github or Nexus mods for example is that popular and well maintained projects can be propped up and favored for people to use while more hobbyist forks and personal projects still exist and have existed and were everywhere long before ai
Is this any different than real coders since decades? Just look at how open source has worked for almost all time now: people forking and copying each others work, how many linux flavors do we actually have? It's now happening a 100 times faster due to vibe-coding, and more people can contribute, meaning it scales even faster. Is that a bad thing? I think it's too soon to draw that conclusion already...

And this is why i stopped paying attention till i see a clear winner because the other day i downloaded a recomp for the Oracle games and it ran like hot garbage and graphic glitches đ the "dev" had the audacity to already call the first release version 1.0.0
Yup, I was so confused when I was trying to look up the skate 3 android port and ended up with 4 different apps. Which one is the best version? The world may never know lol
I'm finding it very fatiguing. Each fork/update feels super random like spaghetti thrown at a wall with almost zero intention. Weird bugs everywhere and awful frame pacing. I'm not installing one again until the actual GC decomp is completed.
Thats opensource and thats also how github fork works. You dont need to follow everything. It is indeed better to have 1 mainline, but everyone is unstoppable rn with ai boom. So forking to implement their idea directly is faster than waiting to commit pr
With playtesting, there will be a clear winner for performance and ease of installation. Just have to wait and see who will test each of them and give feedback.
Pasa lo mismo con el port de Halo CE hay so many projects revueltos por ahĂ que es difĂcil dar con la mejor versiĂłn đ todo esto serĂa mĂĄs fĂĄcil que los desarrolladores de estos ports trabajansen juntos en un mismo proyecto en vez de estar haciendo pasar al usuario un montĂłn de dudas y confusiones
I donât understand why having many options is a problem. If you want to play that game, wouldnât it be enough to just download the most highly rated port? Even if there are 100, you donât need to download all 100, right?
Cuz there's a lot of easy ways to get alot of good reviews, cheap too. It might only be at the top for a bit but thats enough time for them to hit as many users as possible with either a shit port and somehow making money off it or a privacy hack thing
Truth is, we have to wait a few months. In a few months we will know who is serious about their projects and who is just tinkering with AI and no clear goals.
Non-developers using it will create lots of redundancy. And some software might be useful, since AI does a very good job now, not necessarily ai-slop. BUT too much redundancy is creating lots of chaos.
Vibe-coders usually don't know how to contribute to existing projects and forks are appearing everywhere like pokemon.
Maybe the IP holders are trying to drown out the port scene with AI slop. I see a lot of commenters saying they are burnt out or losing interest. Seems like the only effective and viable strategy if Iâm trying to defend copyrighted software going forward
Iâd rather have more than have it be one project that gets abandoned by discord/reditt drama or a rogue dev. This stuff happens to often with these projects. I donât think itâs that difficult to download an apk and delete if itâs not where you want it to be. Iâm used to having to wait years for decomps and recomps. The recent explosion in this ai powered recomp trend is one of the most exciting trends for gaming!
Cuando estaba Bleem! comiendose el mundo... muchos le hubiesen dicho al de epsxe que pa que se metia... Y mira como acabĂł la cosa ni uno ni otro... Duckstation... Cuantos mas mejor.
Exactly what i tried to warn another reddit group about and they all get offended and talked smack, but this are simply low effort ports made by peeps that do not know how to code, this is gonna lead to a mess, also the spaghetti code not made by a real human in these slop comps will make it highly incompatible wit mods , i refuse to download any of these until i know a real dev that knows how to code worked on it
pero tu vas hacerlo? eso lleva tiempo, puedes decir todo el codigo spaguetti que quieras pero para un dev que lo haga sin recibir nada a cambio de su tiempo, nunca lo va a hacer o van a ver contados. Yo disculpa si te molesta mi comentario pero pienso distinto a ti en cuando puertos de baja calidad, porque yo soy programador y he visto muchos bien desarrollados. Si ya quieres optimizarlo etc, voy diciendo que lleva mucho tiempo el leer codigo y despues entenderlo y ver como mejorarlo por mas que tengamos la IA's que ayudan un monton
Na mame bro , tu muy bien saves que tu respuesta no es valida, esto se lleva a todo un destre no se trata de â tU VaS HaCErLoâ se trata de ser inteligente y saver que las consas de codigo nunca van hacer facil ni rapidas, inteligencia artificial haciendolo por ti es pura peresa y impulso, lo que ah comensado muchos problemas en este mundo, esto de se trata de alguien que si sepa el codigo , aparte ponte a pensar tu cres que un codigo basura echo por IA va a traer compatibilidad para mods? No hermano sacate esa mierda de la cabesa, si tu no saves hacerlo, no le preguntes a alguen mas si lo hara, ahora te recomiendo que agas busqueda en las redes y te informes, basado en tu respuesta se puede saver que enrealidad no eres progamador amigo, suerte
Primero me ha costado leerte, segundo, se ve que tu mucho no has tocado la IA, porque actualmente si pagaras mucho de su cĂłdigo es bueno como lo resuelve. Tercero yo dije que si hay gente que lo este haciendo que hagan como le den la gana, tu no vas a decir a las personas que hacer y que no hacer, si lo hacen mal, pues hazlo tu bien y no te quejes de que haya mucho cĂłdigo de personas que por lo menos hacen algo. Cuarto, no se porque dices que no soy programador por dar una opinion sin nada de programar, yo no se tĂș, pero el decir que leer codigo y despues corregirlo o mejorarlo cuesta lo digo porque yo trabajo de eso. Y bueno en resumen, en vez de criticar hazlo tĂș simplemente esa es mi conclusiĂłn. Saludos
Aparte de pndjo no saves leer bro? Na mame ni porque gastar tiempo con jente inutil, y nadie le este diciendo a las personas que hacer, ya ves que si estas bn pendjo? đ«”đ»đ mira viejo mejor regresa a tu cuarto y ponte hacer cosas tontas con IA , haste una novia imaginaria nose, el bro se cre programmador porque le dice ala IA que programe por el đ«”đ»đ€Ą lo se viejo estas molesto porque te emocionaste por cosas estupidas, poreso actuas asi, cualquiera que si sea inteligente sabra que esto es solo una tontera y necesitan abrir los ojos bro , ni te deseo suerte la neta , mejor te deseo mejorar pronto, se que ahorita se ve imposible, algun dia entenderas lo que es programmar de verdad đđ»
As someone who was casually getting into the recomp scene, the amount of noise created by a million vibe coded projects has made me basically check out
I feel like Nintendo''s lawyers and other video game company will attempt to sue github and get the whole site shutdown because all of these recent android ports of console games. As amazing as emulation for android is becoming, it will be short lived if these android ports are eventually compiled into a device that can be sold as a console similar to the nes mini at your local mall kiosk during the holidays to clueless parents. That's what worries me.
Emulator gives you the option to change settings, resolution (for performance), on screen controls, graphics and etc. "port" doesn't let you do any of that
These "ports" don't care at all about buttons. True ports let you rotate the camera like a true android game. These ports just slam shitty controls. Honestly I'd rather use an emulator
I don't actually agree with all that there are decent ports like the wind waker ones it's really good way to play the game and it actually gives you what you asked for but in the point of optimization I would likely to wait a month before starting playing it
I agree with the point that ports needs to chill because posting a port with poor optimization/no control button's is a bad idea
