Bunkai Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) Although my feelings about that are the same, using that code here would be asking EA to come and close us. But porting or something like that would be pretty neat and less dangerous legally Edited June 11, 2021 by Bunkai Ortography Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Would be amazing if the code were released, but I'm pretty sure they lost it or it's on a long-obsolete hard drive or tape backup in a storage room somewhere. "Source control" wasn't really a thing back then. For example the source for one of my favourite games/expansions, Homeworld:Cataclysm, from 2000, is lost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeworld:_Cataclysm#Legacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 3rd-party creation using a custom-made emulator that can augment the emulator games. Scroll to the very bottom of their homepage, it's called Arsenal, "The ROM Supercharger" https://www.emptyclipstudios.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaTormenta Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Whilst I doubt that EA has source code from this far back stored anywhere, it'd be kinda cool if it showed up during, say, a basement clearance by Lesser or Simmons on a 5.25" floppy disc and it was put online.

Lesser and/or Simmons might turn out to be the best chance. Similar to the story a couple years ago of former Team17 programmer Chris Blyth finding the original source code for Worms on an old Amiga that was sitting in his shed since the '90s. Here's hoping anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSgamby Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) The only NHL source code the hackers probably got is from NHL 15. Edited June 12, 2021 by DSgamby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
