Yep, there was snapshot on 2021, but there nothing. Probably, author moved source (or closed access to it) earlier and didn't bother to update site. (considering, that it looks very unmaintained)

Is there a way to decompile a LuaJIT ByteCode from Love2D using Love2D?

Literally speaking, "using love2d" might be possible but I'm not sure if the currently existing LuaJIT decompilers are written in Lua, therefore I'm not sure if they would run "using love2d".

It's certainly possible to disassemble and read the bytecode and interpret its meaning to form a program (manual decompilation). And yes, that's possible "using love2d".
