Claude fixed a bug in a DOS game from 1991 and now my kid can relive the magic
A user shared their success in fixing a bug in a 1991 DOS game with the help of Claude, allowing their child to experience the game. The fix involved modifying three bytes at file offset 0x1FB06 (BA 31 03 to EB 18 90) in the ON_NOMPU.EXE file. This change forces the MPU detection to skip directly to its "not found" exit, preventing the game from accessing port 330h and enabling it to use AdLib sound.
Unlike typical AI applications, Claude here directly debugged and provided a specific byte-level patch for a 1991 DOS game, a task usually requiring deep reverse engineering knowledge.
