AI-Generated PC Port of Original Super Smash Bros. Released

For a long time, Nintendo games were hard to access on PC, with simulators being the main option. However, native ports have emerged in recent years, and the latest PC port of the original Super Smash Bros. was fully generated by AI.

Named BattleShip, this port requires users to provide a legal ROM for compilation and running. Developer JRickey stated that the entire 25-day development process relied only on himself and AI models like Opus 4.6, 4.7, and GPT 5.5—AI agents could autonomously build and test.

The developer started the project to learn low-level C language development and verify AI's ability to handle such tasks. He noted the port builds on previous reverse engineering work, proving AI can lower the barrier to creative works and hoping to inspire more people to practice and share.
