I have spent years disassembling many old software titles and re-writing, optimizing and re-asembling them in 68k to work with my various Amiga set ups.
While it would be nice to see much of the original source code for old software open sourced, the main problem is most authors source code (including mine) are much varied in the way the are written and sometimes even with notes, they are not very clear or easy to understand and work out without a hell of a lot of effort.This applies mainly to source code written in C.
I have found that the best way to update old software is to disassemble it into 68k and then sit down and study it, then re-write, modify, optimize and/or add new features that suits my own needs.
This sounds so nice. I suppose that you have done this for non-commercial programs, or for commercial programs from companies who released the executable code to the and only required by the user to buy a keyfile.
I'm sure that many of us would love to see you sharing your labor.
