This is very cool.

It is the only port (that I am aware of) that brings over the additional Room Editor app that allowed you to create and edit "house" (game) files.

just noticed the name. thanks very much for many hours of fun in my youth. I'm looking forward to playing this again!

Ah, the muscle memory comes back fast.

>The port was directed by a human, implemented by Claude Opus 5.5, and designed by both.

This is certainly one area where I find AI tools to be largely beneficial. There are so many pieces of near-forgotten software that are difficult to interface with at all, let alone to decompile, debug and port and so on. I was thinking lately how useful an AI-powered editor for NES- and SNES-era games would be. The existing tile and mapper editors are generally pretty clunky IIRC.
