Show HN: SnesGPT, micro-GPT ported to ASM on the Super Nintendo

[vga805]

Andrej Karpathy has been hacking on micro-gpt. Someone in the comments ported it to Haskell so I thought, "why not ASM." And once I had that thought, I thought, "why not on the SNES?"

This is mostly an exercise to see how well Claude Code would do at this task, and it did surprisingly well. Once compiled, the ROM will run on Snes9x and generate 20 new names.

“runs on the 3.58 MHz 65816 CPU” - I love this.

Consider adding a gif of this on the readme please :)

I have no idea what the output can be like. Or the input even. Maybe it’s finally a good use for the Nintendo Mouse hahaha.
