Help Wanted: MM 6/7/8 Remake Project

The MM 6/7/8 project is currently searching for people with experience in IDA.

The project, a "decompilation, reconstruction, upgrading and tuning of the Might and Magic 6/7/8 engine", has yielded some impressive work thus far; all that's needed is some dedicated and talented fans working on improving it still further.

So basically that project is kinda like openxcom but for m&m rpg games. But they are doing it in different way - they dissasembled original code and they're rewritting it part by part.

You got a contradiction there : "they disassembled original code"
There is no need to disassemble if you got the original code :p
I guess they disassembled the original EXE.
Which is what has been done for most parts of original UFO too, by some people. It's with their help we got certain parts of openxcom 100% the same as the original

Yeah, you're right

Still, it's different from openxcom, cause they're compiled that dissasembled code, they aren't writing code from scratch, rather they're translating it, for example:

Yeah most remakes start by disassembling the original EXE, I don't think I could handle doing that though.

I hope someone can help him out. Might and Magic are on my regular Rotation .
