There are recompilation tools in some form; there’s a version of the C64 speech synthesiser SAM somewhere on Github that has been translated into very unreadable C code with global variables for the 6502 registers and 64K of RAM and C code that does the equivalent of 6502 instructions (I think the ST* instructions that touch the SID have been replaced with audio-writing code). For games, presumably you’d want this sort of thing with some libraries that do VIC-II graphics, SID audio, simulate hardware interrupts and such.

If one wanted to distribute C64 games to people who aren’t necessarily into C64 hardware or emulation, what would be the best way of doing so? Are there tools for either wrapping such a game in a preconfigured emulator or else recompiling the 6502 code into a native app for existing game platforms?

Given that the guy died last year, he’s probably more likely to be mates with Ned Kelly these days.

Were any of the original writers left, or did the new owners of ZA/UM hire some hacks and/or use a LLM, prompted to write something in the vein of Disco Elysium?

In Rome, Caligula made his horse a senator. In America, this happened.

Hopefully Sydney will join Berlin and Mumbai in adopting this technology. Their network of cross-harbour ferry routes could benefit from something like this.

There’s not really a punchline, just a reminder that mean old guys exist.

Don’t call it that to any British people, though, as to them, “dogging” has a very different meaning.
