Autonomous agent turns raw Pokemon Ruby ROM into a full WASM recompiler and GBA runtime in one sprint
NathanWilbanks_ · x · 2026-10-05
Nathan Wilbanks says his agent Annie did what he thought impossible: in a single autonomous sprint, it took raw Pokemon Ruby .gba ROM bytes and produced a full hybrid WASM recompiler plus a complete GBA runtime.
What was built:
- ARM7TDMI + THUMB emulation
- Scanline-accurate PPU
- 4-channel DMA
- Flash 128K + RTC
- BIOS HLE
He calls it the fall of the 32-bit console wall and the arrival of an autonomous binary-to-product pipeline, with full research notes and repo shared.
