I have no idea what this means lol but the way you word it sounds like this is “smoking gun evidence†of legitimacy. That sucks for the ppl behind Pokémon Co & GameFreak. :/ |
Its also been revealed that Pokemon Black/White's source code was leaked too so thats another set of games. With the source code out, anyone can reverse engineer/re-compile the game and do the following.... -Release it on other platforms (through modding) or make the closest to what a PC version of the game would be
-Improve resolution and frame rate (60 FPS), wide screen support
-Introduce mods and fan games (like the Super Mario world fan games)
-Find ways to exploit, do cheats, find secrets that otherwise would have been impossible to find on normal hardware
-Fix bugs and glitches that publishers/developers claim that are unfixable
-Remove any DRM on a game to make it playable on any platform (modding)
-Find hidden code of stuff that was supposed to be in a game but did not make in the final game (for an example, they found several pokemon designs that did not make it in the final game). - the same thing happened to Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time earlier this year/last year |
It's not that simple. The source code is legally radioactive, so using it for anything leaves you wide open to getting smacked by a lawsuit. The N64 decompilations are safe from this because they are 100% reverse engineered.
