  The scummvm project has been working on porting most of the director games onto it. You can track its current status here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.scummvm.org&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;Director&#x2F;Games?hl=es-ES" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.scummvm.org&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;Director&#x2F;Games?hl=es-ES</a>

  Are todays LLM not capable of translating that stuff into modern JS&amp;Co?

    If the LLM can’t run the original code, it can’t compare to verify the translation is accurate

      LLMs are surprising good at looking at plain old hex of a binary and rewriting it as source code that functions similarly.<p>I&#x27;m sure for these older games they&#x27;d succeed most of the time.

      When the runtime is completely different, I&#x27;d also argue it&#x27;s emulation more than translation? Anyway. Lost in translation I guess.
