With the recent flux of decompiled and recompiled projects for retro games to play them natively on PC, which game do you want see tackled on? And why? Or do you rather want Mods and Romhacks for the actual Rom for emulation?

KOTOR: the game is fantastic but it's a technical nightmare. I spent weeks vibe-coding patches to get it running properly on a modern PC

    Is it? The game does actually work with modern PCs, at least the Steam version: https://store.steampowered.com/app/32370/STAR_WARS_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic

    I assure you, it does not work on modern hardware, at least not correctly. It has issues with high core count CPUs, high refresh rate displays, uses several proprietary obsolete opengl extensions that are not supported by modern drivers, has several stability issues especially around cutscenes and area transitions, and the list of problems goes on. It kinda runs if you're willing to disable half of its graphical settings and are willing to deal with the frequent crashes. The KOTOR community, including myself, have been vibe-coding patches to keep it alive but it's not ideal.
