What game do you wish would be decompiled or recompiled next? (lemmy.ml)

With the recent flux of decompiled and recompiled projects for retro games to play them natively on PC, which game do you want see tackled on? And why? Or do you rather want Mods and Romhacks for the actual Rom for emulation?

Black and White 1 and 2. Not quite the same thing, but might be worth a shot, all in all.

I was gonna list Jak and Daxter, but apparently OpenGoal already managed to do that.

Tekken 5 and Soul Calibur 3 would be nice to have, as they're currently PS2 exclusives. I wonder if Dreamcast version of games could be easier to decompile, being kinda-sorta Windows games?

Also a useful link for this thread. Might not be fully up-to-date with existing projects, but it's a good starting point - https://decompbuddy.com/games

Hardly anyone talks about Black and White, surprised to see the mention.

Black and White 1 has one in progress https://github.com/openblack/openblack

I just got into the decomp scene and the tool I chose is Quiver Launcher: https://quiverlauncher.com/ I don't know how it compares to Decomp Buddy. It looks good too. I'll definitely bookmark it for now, thanks.
