Is it possible to get the source code of compiled code ?

Hi,
I have the compiled source code of a Sega Emulator game, is there any way too view the code, without all those weird symbols ? I think it's written in C or C++.
The game came out 1993-1994.

I want to view the source and see if I can improve the game, for personal use of course.

thanks,
David

You'll probably only be able to decompile it to assembly which isn't much help.

1993? Anyone know when vb-4 32bit came out?

Game Name? P'rhaps someone here has it? {the code, anyways}

The game Im talking about is NHL '94 (my all-time favorite game :cool: )

I know it's possible to convert compiled Java code to readable code, shouldn't there be a way to do this with C/VB code ?

If you want to view the source code, you can download it here:

After you have unzipped the file, rename it to nhl94.bin as this is the original file name.

hmm...
I have now opened the file in a hex Editor (UltraEdit) and I can maybe see the code somewhat clearer now.

I can see the names of the players in the game but I can't see any programming code.

With programming code, I mean something in line with

for (i=0; i<2; i++) {
doStuff();
}

But can I do something with it ?
Could it be so that the game is written in assembly ?
(I hope it's not)
