Reverse engineering, especially clean room reverse engineering, is not illegal, and there are several legal precendents documenting this; although AI kinda blurs the line between clean and not clean.
Also, IDGAF, companies like adobe deserve this 100%

I assure you, it does not work on modern hardware, at least not correctly. It has issues with high core count CPUs, high refresh rate displays, uses several proprietary obsolete opengl extensions that are not supported by modern drivers, has several stability issues especially around cutscenes and area transitions, and the list of problems goes on. It kinda runs if you’re willing to disable half of its graphical settings and are willing to deal with the frequent crashes. The KOTOR community, including myself, have been vibe-coding patches to keep it alive but it’s not ideal.

KOTOR: the game is fantastic but it’s a technical nightmare. I spent weeks vibe-coding patches to get it running properly on a modern PC
Flash next 125b is genuinely amazing, I hope to see 4.0 of the same size.
