I see a lot about source codes being leaked and I’m wondering how it that you could make something like an exact replica of Super Mario Bros without the source code or how you can’t take the finished product and run it back through the compilation software?
@Squizzy
Lots of other people have addressed this, so I won’t repeat the whole thing. You can absolutely do disassembly work, it’s just a pain in the rear.
But it’s actually been done for Mario, since you brought it up:

And also Pokemon.
