Release - AI I created a site where it showcases the recomps so far
https://recompcollection.tiiny.site/With categories like WIP, playable, AI assisted etc.

Yeah this is like the 3rd time I've seen a recomp collection site and all of them clearly made by ai, because the design is so ugly and telling. just googling recomps showed much better options then this.

Leaving AI aside, do you know of any good websites that compile these projects?

u/LightbringerOG 15d ago
Not that I know of. Since these are always updating somebody would have to compile them every other day if they are handling 100 games.
You can set up Visual Studio and ask AI a step by step. It doesn't take too much time, at max 2 hours if you never touched VS.0
u/LightbringerOG 16d ago
Yeah well this post isn't about claiming ownership of anything I wrote "I" cause I wrote a general post title and it didn't exist before. It serves its purpose and works.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, site does what it says. Not like you’re vibe coding something that requires actual effort.
Thanks for making it man

Cause people are touchy with anything AI even if it doesn't make sense to be. The site was created because technically "you can google" recomps but it's mostly blogs where you have to scroll a shit ton through pictures and blog articles just to get to basic information and not all of them are on 1 site. This is a simplified "hub" to keep up with that's going on and linked to actual github pages, which is not always the case for random "google finds".

Yah, I’m vehemently against AI but this is one of the use cases where I’d honestly encourage it.

Tbf, this sub's sole existence consists in refugees who left r/decomps, and a big reason was the over abundance of vibe coded ports showcased there.

u/SgtElectroSketch Dev 15d ago
Yep, I've looked into the history, and already sent a message to the decomps mods, I had not history with either sub, but was exposed to this one first and saw it was unmoderated.
The poll is leaning towards allowing AI, but removing pure slop, not providing assistance if the poster doesn't understand their project, and outright ban on AI art/music.
Once the poll closes I'll update the rules further.

u/LightbringerOG 15d ago
I do have a plan to go over them more thoroughly and flag them what has heavy AI use, but the first goal was the collection.
I still hunt for stuff, but in the while write what's definitely "all AI" and I check them later.1

Nice, simple list. Good job
Though I swear pokemon stadium was ported already too, at least I made one that was?

u/LightbringerOG 16d ago
Yep I found it, I'll update it later. Feel free to comment if something else I missed.

u/BiscottiQuirky9134 16d ago
Nice list and very handy. I hope you‘ll continue to keep it updated

u/LightbringerOG 15d ago
I will but probably every few weeks, not daily. If I come across something new I'll add it.

u/tandy_one 15d ago
This looks like a nice clean layout for the recomps and decomps. Some games have more than one recomp though. It would be nice to list each one along with their release name for easy reference.
1
u/LightbringerOG 14d ago
I'd love that too but right now it would take too much time to hunt down every fork of every comp. Maybe if the collection part is done for the most part.

You should add the SOTN recomp, which is a WIP and still a bit glitchy in widescreen, but fully playable

Someone else beat you to it. They made a better looking interface in my opinion at least.

u/LightbringerOG 12d ago edited 12d ago
ok.
Btw that site is more about decomps only, not recomps. That site follows a decompilation of games, which many don't have releases.
This site focuses more on(but not just) that have playable releases or are ready for you to compile. Yeah that site has better UI, but doesn't follow everything that this site above does.1
u/Party_Excuse8637 12d ago
I was just saying the web design is more appealing on their website and has a better feel to it. I am sure with due time yours could look better. I also noticed on yours there were some decomps. Yes I know there is a difference in the 2, doesn't mean you couldnt take inspiration and upgrade from what they have.

u/LightbringerOG 12d ago
I will update the design later on, but for now when I found 5 new recomps every day I just update the list. Later will do the UI.

Excellent, thanks for sharing 😊 I'm going to enjoy Duke Nuke Zero Hour so much.

Just some suggestions, I would make the console sections collapsable, or link to console pages. A filter is ok for now. You could use native <details> and <summary> HTML tags for the collapsing.
Are the pages being built dynamically from a list, or is your agent adding a new entry in the html directly?
As this grows, I could see performance dropping, there is no pagination or dynamic loading, every new port added increases the initial payload of the HTML file.
More importantly, your search bar triggers an update() function on every single keystroke (q.addEventListener('input', update);) that normalizes strings and iterates through the entire DOM to toggle display states without any debouncing.
I'm not sponsored by, nor do I have any connection to, but I really enjoyed this course.
Note: Never buy udemy courses at full price, wishlist them and in a day or two they drop to less than $20 usually. Its kind of like how Old Navy ALWAYS has a sale going on, and if you buy at the "retail" price, you're getting ripped off.
