I see a lot about source codes being leaked and I’m wondering how it that you could make something like an exact replica of Super Mario Bros without the source code or how you can’t take the finished product and run it back through the compilation software?

    oh wow, I now respect pirates even more. No wonder there are only like 3 guys that can and will do this.

    If you decompile you need such an understanding of the language. I could see someone looking at this and going “oh yeah that compares cases”, but then die of old age before finishing the sentance.

    And if you don’t decompile you are coding assembly.
