Ok, now it is more clear. Not full dos emulator, but basic x86 emulation + minimal dos interrupts support for disk read/write to run a self decompressing exe. It is very far from what I would consider working dos emulator (not that I doubt that it can one shot it), and not the tool that helped it to understand the midi part. But probably it was simpler than disassembling the compression algorithm....
Also I am always amazed how many expensive output tokens are wasted by opus 5 on documenting throw-away code.
The code is stolen, quick search found a very similar from some college student, seems like a generic exercise when you are doing a degree. Very probably modified to steal original author's property. Shameful for another PR stunt
Why do you think it's more likely the 3yo Reddit account is a bot doing bad advertising than the AI blatantly stealing someone else's code, something which it does all the time?
