Oooh, that's super interesting! If it's backed by DOSBox I doubt it's recompiled from source, but I could ask :)

- kbenson 9y agoTheoretically they could be binary patching. By using a disassembler and a debugger to understand what's going on, in many cases bugs might be fixable inline, or by replacing old functions with a redirect to where it's been redefined (if there wasn't sufficient space to fix inline).
- adamkruszewski 9y agoJudging from their job postings they are resorting to binary patching more often than not (so it's not only theoretically).
