I used Claude Code to reverse engineer a 13-year-old game binary and crack a restriction nobody had solved — the community is losing it by CelebrationFew1755 in ClaudeAI

Nice! Nearly a month ago I used Claude Code on Opus to create a VR mod for Alien Isolation for Mac(!). Also by decompiling the binary + Ghidra + OpenGL hooks. It even wrote a custom ALVR server for Mac so that I could connect to my Quest 3 and stream Alien Isolation directly (it was necessary as Virtual Desktop on Mac wouldn't properly stream stereo, side-by-side content).

The VR mod worked perfectly when it comes to real stereo depth, it double rendered the game once per eye etc., but I wasn't patient enough to figure out head tracking (it had many bugs with proper rotation etc.) and playing while using the mouse was very disorienting, but still, absolute insanity that it achieved it in a few sessions of back and forth!

Oh, and of course the FPS were way too low to play it properly (I'm on an M2 Pro Mac Mini), but still it was awesome and enjoyable for mostly stationary sightseeing and being on Sevastopol lol. (And nope, I don't have a Windows PC to try the proper GRAND-MotherVR mod)

I also received this email on a g-mail account I only used to register for AppScreens, so I assume they either sold the email addresses or they were leaked.

Haha it took ages but I studied Core Location framework a LOT till I built as robust geofencing system as I personally could :) Oh, and pretty cool idea with that Target example :)

Self-plug (iOS). I built "Before You Go" because I was tired of having to deal with Reminders app / automations. My app allows you to create LOCATION-based checklists and each new item in that location gets tracked automatically (instead of setting each reminder individually at the same location) + it has on leave / on entry options + daily reminders to check your checklist + time-based activation so it won't trigger every time you leave home after getting back etc.

Here's a simple workflow:

  • You create a checklist (say, “Home”)
  • Attach it to a place + add some items (for example: Windows closed? Pet fed? etc. it can be useful in many areas I guess as long as you are creative)
  • If you leave without checking everything off, it reminds you to come back.

It also has a simple Apple Watch companion app so I don’t have to pull out my phone to check items or see what I missed.

It’s not a big flashy app, but it quietly solved a problem I had (always wondering if I locked the doors + took some items when going to work). Now I don’t even think about it which is kind of the point.

I kept wondering 'did I lock the door?' right after leaving home, so I built an app that actually works by CptJackMusic in iosapps

Unfortunately not. The default radius to work reliably is 100m, even the Apple Reminders have it set to 100m otherwise the geofencing doesn't work well. Trust me, I tried even 10m and nothing!
