Viewed 105
The decompilation project for Majora's Mask (NTSC-U version) has reached 100% completion, allowing it to be recognized among the few fully decompiled game projects. This clean room recreation of the game's code has sparked discussions about the ethics of decompilation, particularly whether the methodology used aligns with the concept of a clean room reimplementation. While some argue the authenticity of the method due to direct cross-reference with the original compiled binary, others point to the benefits of preservation, modification, and enhancements that such projects allow for classic games. Users express a desire for further decompilation work within the Zelda franchise, particularly for titles that could greatly benefit from fan-driven enhancements. Additionally, concerns regarding potential legal pushback from Nintendo are prevalent in discussions, highlighting the tension between fan engagement with retro games and copyright enforcement.
