AI assists in recompiling Portal 2 for native Mac and iPhone play

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer, with assistance from an AI model named Claude, has successfully recompiled the game Portal 2 into a native application for Mac and iPhone. This process involved translating the game's Linux machine code into C and then compiling it for ARM64 architecture, bypassing the need for emulators or compatibility layers. The resulting application is playable on an iPhone 15 Pro Max with touch controls and supports co-op play over LAN between Macs and iPhones. Performance improvements were noted after switching from OpenGL to a direct D3D9 to Metal path. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI's capability in code translation and recompilation for gaming applications.
