The full story
MLB The Show 16 was historically unplayable on the RPCS3 emulator because of graphics glitches. Over a weekend the poster patched it with Claude Code so they could play online with a friend.
They used a Ghidra MCP and a RenderDoc MCP to automate debugging. They say it took about 8 hours and roughly $60 of Opus credits to get a barebones version working on a local network, and another 8 hours and $150 to polish. The result is graphics and server patches allowing 1v1 games and Home Run Derby over the internet; they played a full nine innings online with minimal issues.
