Hello everyone. I don't use AI on my ASM, ROM hacking projects and my code is available on GitHub: github.com/VitorVilela7 All my projects are focused to be on the highest possible quality bar and you all know that my ASM code is heavily combined with tool code to make projects doable.

This is how I can even make SA-1 ROM hacks possible. TLR ("The Last Remapper") scans the entire ROM, aligns trace logs, usage maps and based on that it outputs remap ASM

I'm afraid that MY CODE was used to train AI and if you ask any chat about SA-1 Pack and SA-1 Root, they will output information similar because I do that kind of work since 2012. It's easy to figure out if any code was written using GenAI. Next tweet I'll share more info about this.

#3 - Poorly optimized code. AI will try doing REP #$20 LDA $000000 CLC ADC #$0010 STA $000000 Vilela code is "REP #$21 LDA $00 ADC #$0010 STA $00"

I understand the world is in constant change and I've to use AI for tool coding, specially on the company I'm hired rn and the models constantly evolve (with so called "harness"). But without control, ROM hacks will transform from playable things to "AI TECH DEMOS" that are bloating TL everywhere

AI TECH DEMO is basically thing that people only want to become viral on internet but if you download it's an useless game because it's buggy and weird everywhere. This is what we need to fight against because at some point people will just lose interest to ROM hacking at all
