I am surprised. I've been using DS4 Flash (0731) for weeks now and it works perfectly fine as a replacement for Claude in a large variety of cases. It requires a few more iterations, sure, but it's useful enough to not need a Claude subscription anymore. Among the things I do I've been reverse engineering, writing complex C++ code...


DS4 Flash absolutely kicks ass for reverse engineering and bug hunting. Almost no point in considering paying for a bigger model, although it's possible the stuff I've fed it (wide variety of older DOS/Windows stuff and device firmwares) might be easier targets.


I've been reverse engineering LEON3-FT SPARC v8 BE code, so I wouldn't say it's common :D. When attached to Ghidra through a MCP the things you can do with this are simply crazy.



Ha - I saw this, but took one look at the slopfest README and it sorta scared me away. Will give it a go thanks.


i tought we can just use AI to read the readme and figure it out? install things.. i always do this


We can, but a README like this is usually a very good heuristic that I don't want to install the thing.


It depends, first I ask myself if this didn't exist would I vibe code it myself, if I would, then is this good enough, might as well save my time and tokens on checking than building from scratch. Personal projects wise



Curious what MCP setup you use? I'm not sure which one I have wired up, but I have to restart Ghidra every time I change file. I think it's either LaurieWired's original or a fork of it


idk if you'll read this, but can you explain more the setup needed for RE?
