I think it is not possible to see the source code of a software due to encryption,morphing or code obfuscation.This is about the source code.The game DAT file not only contains the source code but also contains media files,and other game specific files.They build a single file for copyright and privacy issues as well as avoiding file system conflicts and performance increse.Normally they put encryption or some sort of security mechanism on it therefore they can be accessed only through games and only by games.The process of converting all files into a single file is called "Resource file building" and the softwares are known as building softwares.I have given you the idea about what the process is.Do search on whether the reverse softwares are available or what?Also post it here.😀

Try using HexReader for checking. You might get many stuffs as in binary... But make sure to make a backup before you edit... 😀

You will find hex editor in 'Cheatbook Database' Application too.People normally use it for editing hex codes.Sometimes works as god mode or cheats for some games.But there you have to know what you are searching.Otherwise you will find just mess there.

Yeah, for eg., the scores are stored in Hex form... 😀 Most of the games do it....

Depends on the game ya... Some games are kinda Open Source... They give the source code in their binary forms and some are partially encrypted... 😔 Games like Ravage give their source codes for a price... BTW, Ravage game is awesome... 😛

moizkolsawalahi

Seems to me that you could spend half of your life trying to decode a game that belongs to someone else.

Wouldn't the time and effort be better spent writing your own, original game?

It would certainly be more satisfying.

I really cannot imagine that anyone else will want to help you with such a long, arduous and unrewarding task.

Just my thoughts...... take them or leave them.

HexReader is right... That code is done by someone out of his Hard Work and stuff. So, it would never be easy to steal things easier right??? 😐
