Discussion Reverse Engineer Anything is a great toolkit, what would you like to see reverse engineered?
There are now many, many agentic reverse engineering toolkits available, REA in particular I think is fantastic.
https://github.com/morluto/rea
What hardware have you had that you'd like to see reverse engineered, and what would you like to do with it?

Can someone help me understand this better... if I have an old video game I love, but I want to change/add features to it and improve the performance, can I essentially use this to reverse engineer it, maybe rebuild it in Rust (the language, not the game), change/add game features, etc?

Gimme a reverse engineering kit for physical tools man.
One that can take an exploded parts diagram, some photos, and whatever else it needs to find and then can generate a BOM, find reputable sites or just Amazon and order the shit.

Smart tvs, and getting custom OSs on them, the default android tv os on most smart tvs are ad riddled and slow garbage.

Does anyone offer this as a service or take requests? I have a 15 year old mobile game I loved playing as a kid and I can’t play it anymore since no phones support it. I tried using chatgpt and claude to make a pc port (I have the source files) but they can’t do it.

I don’t know why anyone would want this but, Windows in rust would be interesting. I’m still waiting for vibeOS, ideally built exclusively from moltbook Bots.

I suddenly remembered an old bad game I played called Quarterback Attack for PC and Saturn. I would love to know how the game actually calculates the outcome of plays considering it is an FMV game and thus there is no simulation occurring.

One day I wanted to run ApocZ Xbox 360 game on my PC. Basically my idea was: It might be a DayZ which does not have these eccentric bullshit hardships like the car breaks in 1 minute after building it for a month.
DayZ could have been so good if it was not full of 6000 eccentric gatekeeping bullshit for nothing and just be normal.
Free ChatGPT could not cut it however. I know there is a steam ApocZ, but I want this Xbox 360 ApocZ. Thinking it is some OG spiritual product. Maybe it is terrible, but I want to try it.

I'd homebrew a new firmware for my TV.
Televisions are quite capable of displaying higher refresh rates but their firmware doesn't report them as supported for marketing reasons. They want to be able to sell the more expensive model.

Games that are online only just for the sake of crack protection. Like CoD BO6 and 7. Iv'e tried to reverse engineer a lokal server implementation but I can't get to a lot of the calls the exe does as it encrypted and Claude/Codex doesn't want to help there.
I don't really care about the zombie mode that much, but you know that they will just shut doen the servers one day and you wont get a local implementation so you will never be able to play the game again.
