What the research found

Show HN demo where an AI agent built neo8, a high-level NES-style game engine that compiles to native binaries; it is explicitly not an emulator and was used to recreate Contra gameplay. Background interest only.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

1. neo8 is not an emulator and cannot run NES ROMs 99%
2. Compiles to zero-dependency native binaries for win, mac and linux 98%
3. Built with an AI agent 98%
