Ask HN: Can AI Be Used to Modify Classic ROM Games?

Summary

A Hacker News user asks whether people are using AI to modify classic ROM games after testing Fable 5.1 on the original NES version of The Legend of Zelda. With a single prompt instructing it to create a new world map, the tool reportedly produced a playable result in about 15 minutes. The user says the result was enjoyable and sees broader potential for adding new content to older games. Another commenter points to SuperAstra, a related project hosted on GitHub, as evidence that others are exploring similar ideas.
