This is obviously much more difficult to understand, since you would have to understand what variable753 means from context ("hmm, it seems to be modified by function957 and function127, but what are those?") People working on decompiling a program could try to understand things like that and change placeholder names into meaningful names.

So whereas the source code might have a variable called "numberOfLivesLeft" and a function called "resetLevel", those could appear as variable753 and function138 in the decompiled code. Not only are the comments lost, but typically also all or most of the symbols (meaningful names used to refer to things internally in the code). To elaborate on the "SOME" above, decompiled code is quite different from the original source code. That is if this is the same project I'm thinking of by the guys from the pret discord, I thought their project was private but I'm guessing someone leaked it. Knowing both how the machine code works, and starting to piece together different states and global variables as you go along through different subroutines, you can implement c functions for the various subroutines and then the overall program, a very time consuming effort, in this case it was even more time consuming because the guys involved were trying to get a 1:1 match on the code, by recompiling their c code and seeing if it matched. Through the use of a disassembler (something like IDA) you can read the assembly code of an executable. With just straight writing things in hexadecimal being the lowest, assembly code being even lower and c code also considered low level programming these days but considered higher levels programming in the past. In terms of how code is compiled into binary form to run on the target machine there are different levels of coding.

exe files which will run immediately on any machine with any hardware, the ability to tweak/adjust any systems and assets, etc, etc. This will let them dig into stuff better - and more importantly (yet more dangerously) they can recompile/reconfigure the game basically however they want. Basically they've opened the black box that is the game's software. They can pull apart all the parts and scripts and really look at them straight-on, without any obfuscation. So the fact they've managed to retro-engineer a "decompile" of SM64 basically means they, for the first time ever, have managed to get SOME version of what was on the developer's computer at the time of final compile.

Just the engine logic required to run, just the assets required to show, just the script/logic files required to make it happen - all mixed down into a few assets and a flat "executable" for the game's running.īut on the developer's computer? A mass of other files - the full game engine, many versions and iterations of assets, ten times more script files used to pull everything together. On a disc/download, you've got the very purest "output" of the game's content.

In addition, more importantly, there will be an intelligent "project" file for whatever production software they use, which grabs all those "stems" and puts them in at the right places, with the right programming logic, with the right effects and compressors, etc, etc - and they can hit the Export button to "compile" all the sounds and logic into one flat audio file.Ī game file is pretty much the same. These are all "flattened" into one sound for the final output. Some 1s and 0s.īut on the producer's computer are all the "stems" - each individual sound file for each instrument/layer of the song at very, very high resolution. Imagine when you hear a music track on the radio - you just hear a WAV or an MP3 right? It's just a sound file. Click to shrink.To add to what caff said - to put it in more layman terms, the game you get on a disc/download is like a very "mixed down" version of the game's actual files/content.
