Oh good, getting hit by some dead media problems. A long while ago I bought the Star Wars: KOTOR mobile port from humble bundle, trying to get it to to run again on my phone (via VSPhone for virtualization) it's failing at the initial download stage.
Hooked in mitm proxy and it looks like the S3 bucket that used to host it has been taken down, (perfect candidate for some squatting), buut I don't know where it's been moved to so now the game is useless to me.
If anyone has a working copy of the intermediary or the latest version of the app I'd be grateful

*These Chinese guys think that AIs would work lots better if they abandoned clunky human language and just used model-native "latent space" *Of course, if that's true, then all the AI modelling built so far would be deader than Nineveh #deadmedia arxiv.org/pdf/2604.02029
