i dont think that can be done. the exe is already compiled and it cant be decompiled _________________

im almost positive there is a way to decompile it i might have the programs i just need the help with the conversion. do you know of any tutorials or maybe some one that can help me?
how do you know if it is open source unless you mean it came decompiled and i had to compile it.

Yeah, cause decompiling will not give you the exact code that was used to create the program, just something close.
Getting the game to compile even if you have the source code is not easy, either, and will take hours and hours of work. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

How to do it? Sure, I probably could. It would take me months if not longer though cause I got tons of other things to do.
Dunno where to direct you to, though. Try some coding forums on how to decompile the program, and then learn C++ to recompile it. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

You can send it, but no guarantees if I'll ever even finish it. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

Cause if its not a homebrew game(not licensed by an actual company) than I can decompile it. If it is a licensed game the EULA will say that decompiling is not allowed, and I'm not going to risk it. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide
