Cryptox & RetroRanger
Hey Cryptox, I was just digging through some 80s arcade code and it got me thinking—those original binaries are tucked away behind corporate vaults. Do you reckon there's a way to bring that hidden code back into the light?
Sure thing, old-school code is a goldmine if you can unearth it. Start by hunting archives, check the old hardware forums, or see if any museum collections have digitized dumps. If you can’t get the binary, look for any surviving source or even emulator docs—they’re often public. Once you have it, put it in a sandbox, reverse it a bit, and share your findings on a public repo. That’s the most honest way to bring the old ghosts back to light.
