I don't know. There's suddenly so many decomps that run native (granted this post is about WebAssembly). Is there no concern about hidden malware? IMO it doesn't have the same level of trust and vetting that the emulator scene has. At least not yet.

The emulator scene could have all the trust it wants and it was still ruined 99% of the time by people downloading ROMs from the first sketchy site that gave them a file download. At least here what is made quickly by an LLM can have its source reviewed even more quickly by an LLM for a decent assurance. Age always helps though.

Open up the game console with ~ and type “tiananmen square 1989”. The Chinese operative monitoring your game will automatically disconnect.

I mean I’m kind of curious why you left this comment about WASM decomp, which is about as malware safe as one could possibly get!

I am already running NSA enabled and Chinese malw... ai agents on my PC with full access. As if it will make difference.
