Re: Reverse engineering - confirmed for version 3!



I also heartily commend Xyghost on his efforts and his accomplishments. To reverse engineer/disassemble executable code to assembly source is thenbsp;through that assembly code. To Try and figure out what’s happening. Because all of the relevant information that would’ve been in the original source code, that is, variable names, comments, etc. get lost when you create the first executable file and can’t be discerned from the existing executable file when you disassemble. I’ve hacked executable code, at a simple level to get programs to run, so I think that he gets commended, but I think they’re still a pretty bigahoo-signature">Sent from the all="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(132, 115, 255); padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0px;">On Saturday, February 28, 2026, 9:15 AM, Edward Mendelson <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

I used DOSBox-X as my build environment, and needed to run LOADFIX
before running the batch file, in order to avoid the dreaded "Packed
file is corrupt" message from link.exe. I also used vDos, which also
worked but was slower, and has the slight disadvantage of reducing the
long filename of the batch file to an 8.3 name.

Well done, xyghost! This is really an amazing achievement - a
staggeringly amazing achievement.
