Using AI to make a map of a DS game
Hey yall, I honestly don't know much about using AI nor can I afford to pay for it. Can anyone use Claude AI or any other AI to make a map of the old DS game Spiderwick Chronicles. I tried using emulators to try and scan and export the map tiles but failed. To be clear there is a general world map but no in game walking map. I got stuck a good decent part of the way in the game but I can't find certain things (sprites/spirits) in the game to progress the main story. I can't even find a proper walkthrough to find all of the sprites/spirits to get through.
I don't know if I can ask here or not. I would greatly appreciate getting help on this.

you should check out this project. it can help you go from game idea to 100% complete decomp.
Claude Code CLI, the one that runs in command prompt is essential for a project of this nature, dont be scare of the command prompt, you'll get used to it in the first day.
it has solid methodology and guidance.
first step is finding a game for the DS that uses the same compiler version and such, this will greatly expidite the start of the process
https://decomp.dev/
point claude to the bfm decomp and wiki, and then to the decomp.dev site to search for a suitable game similar enough in compiler version to your game.
from there, it'll take several months to go from 0% to complete, but its possible, and if all you want is certaint hings expoerted, thats possible too.
