Can I get my original code from my old compiled projects?

vroom6sri · 20 April 2019, 21:33

Around 25 to 30 years ago I made my first (and only) “demo” in Amos to show my mate. I think I’ve lost the original project files so is it possible to de-compile or extract my code from the compiled files?

Nope.

Doh! Oh well. Maybe the project files will turn up on a disk in my collection at some point.

Thanks for the clear and concise response.

Not back into BASIC for AMOS to read, at least.

How's your 68K assembler skills?

Non-existant unfortunately.

Examine & replicate.

If you did it in the first place, you (probably) can do it again.

I have no 68k assembler knowledge so there’d have been no chance of that and I only remembered about 1% of my AMOS knowledge so it would have been futile. Luckily for me I was able to get the original project files off the original floppies so I’ve been able to read my code. Sadly it was uncommented so I’ll have to go through it step by step to see how I did it!
