What are some other good ones?
I know of these:
- Majora’s Mask
- Banjo Kazooie
- A Link to the past (Technically, ports to C and Zig)
- Twilight Princess (arguably, since that one is flooded with vibe-coded mods)
- Star Fox 64
Comment on Retro Gaming Has a Port-Slop Problem

Thank you for calling out the port slop. Decompilations and reverse engineering projects used to be worthwhile and exciting and now it’s become an ocean of half baked Claude code projects with no contributors and no base to stand on.
I’m glad we got big ones like SM64 and OOT before the vibe coding craze, now I see a recompilation or port and it doesn’t even register now

The Jak and Daxter trilogy (OpenGoal).
Every discussion, issue, and pull request is read and reviewed by humans (and sometimes machines, too). It is a boundary point at which people interact with each other and the work done. It is rude and disrespectful to approach this boundary with low-effort, unqualified work, since it puts the burden of validation on the maintainer.

Yeah, and when it comes to brand new accounts churning these out quickly you don’t know if they are safe, and don’t have something malicious sunk into compared to projects with more people involved.
Decompilations are still exciting, but I’m not rushing out to try out every new PC port of a console game either that came out from someone with no history to have gained some trust.

Absolutely. I am also thankful for it. I’ve been shitting on these projects, and at least people here seem to be more against them, but holy shit, on Reddit, the mainstream subs at least (PCMR cough), they absolutely love these slop projects. Any slop project really, but especially the recomps and PS5 emus / translators.
Some projects try to hide their vibecoding , then you dig through their commit history and see first commits with like 20k to 50k lines. People really love this KytyPS5 emu / translation layer (not retro, I know, just mentioning it). Guess what, it has the highest line count of any first commit I have ever seen, 200k lines. You can’t make this shit up. github.com/…/147188b143f67c27d8da396e759c19336f64…
To me, this is the clearest indicator of vibecoding. If you are undertaking a serious project and not immediately creating at least a local git repo from the very first couple lines, this shit is straight outta Claude. Keep in mind Github is just a place to host git repos. Any history before adding a remote obviously stays and will be visible. These guys are legit creating their repos only when have tens of thousands of lines already. That is not how you start a serious project.
