magiceyes: an emulator for the GP2X, Wiz and Caanoo handhelds
In about three days Claude wrote a proof-of-concept emulator for three unemulated ARM Linux handhelds, with one commercial game running flawlessly.

The full story
The maker, a software developer with no reverse engineering experience, set out to have Claude write an emulator for a platform nobody emulated: the GP2X, GP2X Wiz and GP2X Caanoo, ARM Linux handhelds with exclusive games at risk of being lost. The emulator was driven almost entirely by AI, with the maker giving direction and feedback by playing it.
It builds on existing ARM emulation, with extra device and library emulation layered on top and a fork of Unicorn. After about three days the GP2X game Payback seemed to run flawlessly and Vektar and Quartz 2 ran well, though overall GP2X compatibility was still low.
