Does anyone know..

Does anyone know of a program to convert .Exe programs to .Cpp or .C or w/e.
I know its kinda like unscrambling an egg but I'm sure there are some weak programs out there that can convert simple .exe to find the source. Lol, a full on program like this would be a godsend.. I just know theres gotta be some program like that out there.

I did a bit of looking. Came across this. Kinda like this?

Possibly. I am looking through it, it is some pretty complicated stuff. It lets you breakdown ps1 games, gameboy games, n64 games and xbox games. I tried disassembling a simple "Hello World" .exe but I got a bunch of random mumbo jumbo. I'm gonna look at it some more to see what I can do.

What is the "hello world" thing?

Just a programming language.

What is the "hello world" thing?

It's the general scheme whenever anyone starts to learn a new programming language. Whatever the language is, the very first script that people usually make right when they start learning it is basically using it to print to the screen the string "Hello world". Like say you began learning C++, then the first program you would make would be a simple box with the words "hello world" in it.

Basically advent made a C++ script (hence the ending .cpp) then compiled it and used the program that dige mentioned to see if it works

ah ok, i know what your talking about now.

Often good open source programs offer the source code for a price with the product so I'm not sure of any programs that can decompile a executable. The only experience I have with that would be decompiling the flash script in little flash games and stuff, along with images used.

I got DevC++ v5.0483 (something). Its a free compiler. I was looking for a commercial one but they cost like $1000 lol!

wait, pc program cost money? thats odd...

There is free and commercial compilers for C++ Well that and as well as any programming language. Dev C++ works perfectly fine for me though for compiling code, but then again I haven't tried decompiling any. Most of the commercial compilers are for organization use though, and free ones like Dev C++ are for individual use. It's just like any software for windows that cost money though
