Reverse Engineering Super Smash Bros. Melee into C on a Phone via DeepSeek
pvncher · x · 2026-08-07
A developer showcased a hardcore reverse engineering case using the DeepSeek model (likely deepseek-0731). By interacting with the model purely from a mobile phone, they successfully decompiled and reverse-engineered Super Smash Bros. Melee into approximately 5,000 lines of C code. This demonstrates the immense potential of current LLMs in handling complex low-level code tasks and the viability of mobile-based execution.
