You can now mod ANY game. Frontier LLMs solved reverse engineering -- here are two real examples!

Frontier LLMs are enabling a "renaissance era for modding" by solving reverse engineering challenges, allowing users to modify games even without access to their source code. An example cited is patching Touhou 11 and 12 to support high framerates and refresh rates without affecting game logic, despite the original games being hardcoded to 60 FPS. This advancement allows players to modernize and customize their favorite old games.

This report uniquely details how frontier LLMs enabled high framerate mods for Touhou 11 and 12, unlike prior methods that couldn't overcome the 60 FPS hardcode.
