The full story

A long-term proposal: use REA's agents to study how Microsoft's DirectX behaves, then feed that into the compatibility layers that run Windows games on Linux and macOS (Wine, Proton, DXVK, VKD3D-Proton, Apple's Game Porting Toolkit). The aim isn't to copy DirectX. It is to find and confirm undocumented behaviour faster, by comparing reconstructed functions with the original and testing repeatedly. It's an idea for discussion, not a project.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
