Folks, this is pretty crazy. We've now reached a point where AI can seriously disrupt the software and gaming industry. People are now cloning the characters or systems from one game and then just mashing them up with another game. Like you can put Minecraft mechanics inside GTA. You can take Spider-Man and drop him into a Batman game. You can take Mario and drop him into another game.
You can recreate the parkour system from Mirror's Edge and put it inside Skyrim. The crazy thing is everything works. It's pretty seamless and anyone can just do this by prompting an AI. Like you don't even need much technical knowledge. So in this video we're going to go over exactly what's going on, how it works, and how to actually do this yourself.
And this has far bigger implications than just video games. So even if you're not into video games, it's still worth watching this video. Let's jump right in. Let's rewind back time to where this all started. So the catalyst for all of this is actually a few weeks ago when OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra.
On their official release page, if you look at its performance on this particular benchmark called SREBench, the success rate of GPT-6 Astra after four attempts is over 99%. Now this benchmark basically measures how good a model is at reverse engineering software from binaries. If you have no idea what this means, let's go over it really quickly.
So when a software or video game company makes a product, they first write it using code, right? This is like the original recipe. Well, after they're finished, this source code is then compiled into something called a binary, which is like the finished product. This is the software or video game that consumers see.
So you can think of the source code as like the recipe for baking a cake and then the compiling as the baking process and the binary as the finished cake. In fact, for decades software companies have relied on this gap so that no one can easily copy or modify their software. If no one can see the original recipe, then you can't really copy it, or at least it's going to be really hard to reverse-engineer a product just by looking at the binary.
Well, here's where the current state of AI changes everything. Because, as you can see, GPT-6 Astra is able to just look at the binary of any software and reverse-engineer it with an over 99% success rate. And the recently released Claude Opus 5.5 appears to be even better.
So, for example, AI has already completely decompiled games like Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, Halo, Kingdom Hearts, and Fire Emblem, just to name a few examples. Let's take a moment to understand how massive this is. This means AI can read almost any game, reverse-engineer the code of it, or make advanced mods to the game.
And it's not just video games. AI can literally just look at any piece of software, whether it's Photoshop, Microsoft Office, or potentially even an entire operating system, and kind of reverse-engineer how it works. It's basically eroding the gap between the binary and the source code.
And this means that all proprietary software could potentially just get cracked and cloned with AI. So, you know, now's probably a good time to sell any SaaS stocks you might be holding, if you haven't already. Now, in this video, I ain't going to show you how to use AI to crack Photoshop, because there are, of course, legal implications for this.
So, let's talk about some safer use cases for this, like modding or mashing up games. In fact, there are various ways to use AI to mod games. So, let's go over the different approaches. One pretty simple approach is called a pass-through mod. This is like putting Minecraft inside GTA.
What happens here is that you're not rewriting Minecraft or GTA from scratch. Instead, you keep the original games or systems, but you just get AI to build a layer that connects them together. For example, suppose you use a Minecraft player to place TNT in a certain location, the mod layer from the AI could translate that into something that GTA understands.
For example, spawn an explosive object at this position. And then when the TNT explodes, this mod will tell GTA to apply an explosion at that place. So, think of this as like a bridge that translates actions and physics between two games. This still requires that you have both games running on your system first.
Or here's another example where you can basically port Spider-Man inside a Batman game. Now, while this looks impressive, it's actually the most limited option because you're still constrained by the original engines of the game. Since you're kind of connecting both games using a bridge, it's kind of like duct tape.
So, it gets the job done, but you sometimes get issues with things like collision and physics. Now, if this is of interest to you, here's how you can run it. The nice thing is there are already a ton of pre-built tools or skills which you can just give any AI agent to do this.
So, one of the most popular ones is called Universal Modder. I'll link to it in the description below, and they have this mashup skill which allows you to do a passthrough between two games. So, for example, you can just paste the link to this GitHub and then prompt any AI agent like GPT 6.1 Soul or GPT 6 Astra,
or I've heard that Claude Opus 5.5 works really well, and then just prompt it to do a passthrough between two games. Now, instead of this Universal Modder, here's another really similar tool which works just as well called Reverse Engineer Anything. And again, you can just like link your AI to this GitHub which already contains like pre-built skills and MCPs which it can connect to.
All right, so that covers passthrough mod. Let's move on to another approach which is building the software that runs the game. This is a lot more ambitious, and a classic example of this is like pulling up a vanilla World of Warcraft, except the character is on a skateboard.
Now, how this works is you just give the AI model the game and it plugs it through a reverse engineering tool like Ghidra, which I'll link to in the description below, and the AI basically figures out how everything in the game works like the animations, the maps, the models, the mechanics, and it attempts to basically rewrite the game, for example, in another language like Rust.
Now, you don't have to use Rust, but it turns out that most of the frontier models today seem to be really good at this language, and that's why you see a lot of game rewrites specifically in Rust.

生成器如 GPT Image 和 Nano Banana，以及最佳的视频生成器如 C-DANCE 和 Kling，都可以通过一个单一平台使用。但 Runway 特别有趣的地方在于它远远超出了仅仅生成单个片段的范畴。例如，使用 Runway Agent，你可以简单地描述你想制作的视频，它可以帮助开发概念、创建场景、生成对话和配音、添加音乐，并通过一次对话将所有内容转化为完整的视频。如果你已经有素材，All of 2.0 让你只需描述你想更改的内容即可对其进行编辑。你可以重新布光场景、完全改变风格、更换环境，或添加和移除物体，而无需重拍任何内容。你甚至可以构建可重复使用的工作流，将多个 AI 工具连接在一起。
因此，一旦你确定了喜欢的流程，就可以自动化它并大规模生成一致的内容。所以，无论你是制作广告、社交媒体内容、产品视频、电影还是整个营销活动，Runway 都为你提供从想法到实际可发布内容所需的模型、编辑工具和自动化功能。通过下方的链接或扫描二维码查看 Runway，并使用我的代码在付费计划的首月享受五折优惠。现在，为了使其工作，你仍然需要拥有游戏的副本，但你基本上是通过 AI 将其重建到另一个引擎中。这允许你对游戏进行更多的自定义。
因此，另一个很酷的例子是将《使命召唤：现代战争》重建到新的 Rust 引擎中，然后将其与我的世界世界相结合。这样你就可以用枪射击生物、摧毁方块，并用手榴弹炸毁它们，这非常疯狂。现在，如果你感兴趣的话，这里有一些可能有帮助的工具。为了做到这一点，你需要给 AI 模型一些逆向工程工具，其中最受欢迎的是 Ghidra。已经有一个 Ghidra MCP 服务器，这是一组你可以直接链接到 AI 代理的技能。所以再次强调，你只需将此 GitHub 仓库复制并粘贴到你的提示中即可。
另一个类似的逆向工程工具称为 IDA。也有一个 MCP 供 AI 代理使用，所以我也会在描述中链接到这个 GitHub。然后专门针对 .NET 或 Unity 风格的游戏，你也可以将 AI 指向这些工具以帮助反编译游戏。对于 .NET 应用程序，你可以使用 IL Spy，而对于 Unity 游戏，可以使用这个工具。所以，如果你有兴趣重写你拥有的当前游戏，你可以将代理指向这些 GitHub 仓库并要求它以 Rust 或其他类似语言重写你的游戏。
一旦你反编译了游戏，另一个很酷的应用是你可以将游戏带到其他平台，比如让普通的 PC 游戏在虚拟现实 playable。例如，你可以获取《超级马里奥银河》的反编译版本，并在 AI 的帮助下为其创建 VR 模组以在 Meta Quest 上运行。其他游戏如《马里奥赛车》也在发生同样的事情，这里有一个例子，你基本上反编译了游戏然后为虚拟现实头显重建它。另一个非常棒的应用是让 PS5 游戏与 PC 兼容。已经有几个项目包括 any PS5 和 port PS5 正在使用 AI 来做这件事。
一些成功的例子包括《战神：斯巴达之魂》以及《死亡细胞回归恶魔城》。好的，接下来看下一个方法，这更酷。这涉及复制游戏中的特定机制并将其移植到另一个游戏中。这是我们开始看到一些很酷的混合体的地方。例如，你可以让 AI 复制《镜之边缘》中的跑酷动作并将其放入《上古卷轴5：天际》中。据称，这对 Claude Opus 或 GPT Astra 来说相当容易完成，大约花了一天时间。这种跑酷动作也可以潜在地适应许多其他游戏。
另一个例子是将《滑板3》中的技巧物理效果放入《使命召唤》中。或者你也可以将同样的物理效果放入《魔兽世界》，就像你在这里看到的那样。或者是另一个疯狂的例子，我们在我的世界世界中游玩，但它具有《滑板3》和《使命召唤》的动态效果。或者是另一个荒谬的混合体，将《上古卷轴5：天际》、《逃离塔科夫》和《蜘蛛侠》全部混在一起，只在一个游戏中。这为游戏设计打开了大量的可能性，因为你现在可以仅使用 AI 从任何游戏中提取任何物理效果、机制或动画。
你可以拿走你想要的任何东西，然后将其转移到你要开发的新游戏中，而不必从头开始编写特定的代码。把它想象成从不同的游戏中复制和粘贴各种元素以创建一个完全新的游戏。现在，为了做到这一点，幸运的是，你不必从头开始提示所有内容。例如，再次使用 Universal Modder 的这个混合模组技能，它已经包含了指令告诉 AI 代理如何将内容从一个游戏移植到另一个游戏中。所以我会在描述中链接到这个主要的 GitHub 仓库，你可以直接将 AI 代理指向它。
再次强调，另一个非常有用的仓库是这个“逆向工程任何东西一”，其中包含大量预构建的工具和技能供你的 AI 代理使用。最后，如果你需要更多指导，我也会链接到这个资源，其中包含关于如何实际执行我在本视频中展示的内容的分步说明。这包括从头到尾的直通模组的完整示例，以及另一个在 Rust 中重写游戏的例子。如果你想知道到底该如何提示 AI，那么他们在这里包含了一个关于提示和工作流的章节。需要注意的是没有神奇的提示语。
我的意思是，当前的前沿模型尤其是 Claude Opus 5.5 已经非常擅长理解你的意图。所以你甚至可以使用一个简单的提示，比如“我想为这个游戏做 XYZ”，或者“我想把这个游戏的角色放入另一个游戏中”。然后你可以直接链接到我分享的 MCPs。显然，这不仅仅局限于电子游戏。原则上，相同的技术也可以应用于逆向工程专有软件如 Photoshop、Premiere Pro 或 Microsoft Office。但必须明确的是，你绝对不应该尝试这样做。事实上，本频道严厉谴责此类行为。
相反，你应该做负责任的事情，每年支付数百美元的订阅费，这种费用无法取消，并继续为你不拥有的软件付费，而这些软件的改进微乎其微。这才是负责任的做法。
别去尝试逆向工程 Adobe Creative Cloud 并免费运行它。回到视频开头我们最初的图表，AI 现在已达到一个相当疯狂的拐点。这一数据显示，它能以超过 99% 的成功率成功逆向工程几乎任何游戏或软件。因此，这将对软件和电子游戏产生巨大影响。
由于 AI 现在非常擅长逆向工程二进制文件，很可能它们实际上正在逆向工程世界上所有的游戏和软件，并将这些基础代码用作未来 AI 模型的训练数据。我的意思是，当前几代的 AI 模型已经非常擅长通过“氛围编程”来制作游戏或软件，但我们可以期待下一代 AI 模型能够更擅长完全从头开始进行这种氛围编程。
这将如何影响游戏和软件的未来？其法律后果是什么？请在下面的评论中告诉我你的想法。一如既往，我会密切关注顶级 AI 新闻和工具并与大家分享。所以，如果你喜欢这个视频，记得点赞、分享、订阅并留意更多内容。
