Zelda and Banjo Recompiled Devs Slam AI Vibe-Coded 'Slopcomps'

The teams behind fan-made recompilations of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Banjo-Kazooie said they do not use AI and are not affiliated with Banjo-Tooie Recompiled, an AI-generated port. Developers criticized such 'slopcomps' for bugs, broken modding and disrespect for human effort.

• Banjo-Tooie Recompiled was shared without disclosing it used vibe coding
• DarioSamo: Zelda Recompiled and Banjo Recompiled have clear No AI stances
• AI ports ignore the patching system, making modding unmaintainable
• FunkyLion compiled a list of human-made decomps and recomps
