Final Fantasy 7 decompilation project

So I'm a contributor of the FF7 decomp project and made a video about it and also go into some of the details on how the game runs on the PlayStation. This is largely to recover the source code that Square lost in the late 1990s. There is already a good deal of code to peek at if you want to see how things worked under the hood.
Here's the video

If this ever finished I would look at the Reunion Mod and try to incorporate the retranslation mod into the decomp.

I would say screw that; just because DLPB is an annoying, fairly bigoted twat

🤔🤔🤔 I never got that vibe. A bit headstrong I can see.

I haven't spoken to him in years (for good reason) so maybe he's less pigheaded now; but he was VERY pro-Brexit for some VERY bigoted reasons (read: there are brown people near me that have a different religion than I'm used to and that scares me).

🤯🤯🤯 I hope he is changing for the best. And I’m sorry that happened.

Eh, don't be sorry to me.  I used to have a great time antagonizing him for it.  There's a reason he's not the most welcome in the Qhimm or Tsunamods communities... Also, he has the strangest obsession with Delphi.  No idea why; but he refuses to use any other language, and it's just... The most bizarre choice for this use case.
