If the LLM can’t run the original code, it can’t compare to verify the translation is accurate

When the runtime is completely different, I'd also argue it's emulation more than translation? Anyway. Lost in translation I guess.

LLMs are surprising good at looking at plain old hex of a binary and rewriting it as source code that functions similarly.
I'm sure for these older games they'd succeed most of the time.
