A new tool called Reverse Engineer Anything (REA) is behind a recent surge of console games being natively ported to PC, including titles like Super Mario Galaxy and Modern Warfare 2. REA isn't an AI model itself but a toolkit and agent harness that links binary analyzers, decompilers, firmware readers and other reverse-engineering tools so AI agents can use them together with instructional 'skill files'. This builds on decades of emulation progress and cheaper hardware-analysis tools like the Raspberry Pi.

Samsung has received regulatory clearance from the US FDA and Korea's MFDS for an advanced sleep apnea detection feature on its wearables. The feature uses an AI algorithm to count breathing disturbances per hour during sleep and categorizes results as mild, occasional, or frequent. It will roll out in November to the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Watch 9, and Galaxy Ring in South Korea, with older models like the Watch 8 and Watch 7 to follow via software updates.
Developer Mohammed Huzaifa has discontinued Galaxy-Android, his unofficial Android port of Super Mario Galaxy, along with a separate unofficial Android port of Modern Warfare 2 (2009).

Samsung's Galaxy A37 5G is an incremental update to last year's A36, now featuring an IP68 dust and water resistance rating alongside Gorilla Glass Victus Plus on front and back.

The plans are still in early testing and wouldn't reach the market until mid-2027 at the earliest.
