A developer released a post-mortem on porting G-Diffuser (an F-Zero X decompilation) to the Nintendo 3DS using AI agents. Orchestrated by a single long-lived Claude session directing 147 subagents, the project achieved 60fps stereoscopic gameplay on New 3DS in 24 days, later expanding to Old 3DS support and native rendering. The effort consumed ~3.17 billion tokens with an API cost of nearly $5,000, demonstrating the feasibility and economics of large-scale autonomous coding agents for complex legacy system migrations.

    Post-mortem: Claude Multi-Agent System Ports F-Zero X to 3DS

    • A single Claude master session successfully orchestrated 147 subagents to complete complex low-level code porting tasks
    • The project spanned approximately 67 days across two phases, achieving core functionality breakthroughs within the first 24 days
    • Transparently disclosed a cost model based on API list prices: 3.17 billion tokens corresponding to approximately $4,974 in expenditure
