Hi all!
At the risk of sounding stupid, can someone please explain what it means when people "can't find the source code" for a game? This came up most recently regarding Icewind Dale II on the Some RPGs Playdate.
I would assume that all of the "code" necessary to redevelop/modify an old game would be included on the cartridge/disc and could simply be dumped/ripped. After all, the computer is simply executing the code when the game is played--so the code and assets must all be there, no?
But, I'm obviously wrong, so please educate me!
