What was done
Old Man Rukus is using AI to assist in porting Street Fighter the Movie to the SNES, leveraging Ghidra for symbol naming and the SD2SNES Cortex-M3 processor as an enhancement chip for asset streaming.
The project, led by Old Man Rukus, aims to port Street Fighter the Movie to the SNES. The author reports using AI to assist in the decompilation process, specifically utilizing it to name symbols in Ghidra to gain a head start. The author describes the project as a "vibe coded" effort, noting that the ratio of human-to-AI contribution has shifted from an initial 10/90 split to approximately 30/70 as the author's understanding of the SNES architecture has increased. Beyond decompilation, the author has used AI to analyze the FPGA system within the SD2SNES flash cartridge. The research explores using the cartridge's internal Cortex-M3 processor as an enhancement chip to function as an asset server, decompressing and feeding data to the SNES on the fly. This method relies heavily on the MSU-1 core to handle streaming FMV and data. The author intends to apply these techniques to future projects, including a planned decompilation of Capcom vs SNK. Further details on the project can be found at Old Man Rukus on X.
