decompile assembly

Is it possible to decompile a compiled assembly program ?
When I open it in a textviewer I only see weird characters.

thanks,
David

Decompiling assembly is called disassembly. Makes sense?

Just download masm32 or another disassembler. In masm goto the tools menu and choose the disassembler, it's not the best code that it spits out but it's easier to change than just by opening it with notepad.

Sounds coded into the code?
Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

If I'm sure ? No, I am defineltly not! :confused:

I'm hoping the sounds are coded somehow, how else can they be played ?
I have only one file(in compiled assemply, .bin extension), and I do not have much experience with programming so I assumed that the sounds are included in that file, in some way.

I guess I'm wrong
:o

Have you run the file? Does it work and play sound?
If so, then you are probably right, but then you won't get the sounds by disassembling (although disassembling may tell you where they are). But understanding assembly is hard, so you need to be really good to know what's going on.


If you disassembled the code, then you can copy some functions (provided you find them) to your own code, but they are unlikely to work if the code is old.
