Wow. They recreated the source from the IDA output instructions. Holy shit.



From IDA's decompiled source, presumably, with manual tweaks to make it compile the same.


No, they did it by hand.


The team also had somewhat of an automated decompiler but it's really just a skeleton to get started from.

The game modding community never ceases to amaze me. I know of a few communities that are Reverse Engineering shockwave just to be able to retrieve original game code, and in some cases create private servers for defunct games.

Also theres a cool project archiving all Flash and Shockwave games called BlueMaximas Flashpoint. The people working on preserving these old games are amazing.

I do fear the death of some of those awesome NewGrounds games.


Absolutely mind boggling.


!!


they did it by hand, creating code themselves from the mips output. in-sane!


Unbelievable
