# AI Disclosure

The Rust frontend, and the SVGs on [slot-cfw.fyi](https://slot-cfw.fyi), were put together by Claude.
I reviewed everything that was produced. All documentation is 100% free-range, meatbag prose.

My goal with this project was to recreate the feeling of playing my GBA SP in the back seat as a kid,
but with a few modern creature comforts.

Nothing about this project is exciting or groundbreaking from a technological perspective, and as a
result, I delegated the glue code. mGBA and gpSP have been around forever and are the true stars of
this show. The incredible skeuomorphic art is the work of [Markus](https://github.com/MarkusMaribu), an
artist who saw the bare-bones version and offered to dress it up.

I understand if my use of AI is a dealbreaker for you. Just know it's the least interesting part of
what's here.

Figured I should share the end result of all the wasted water. ✌🏻
