   @coldacid @IceCubeSoup @Moon yes, IIRC for VB3 shit it can decompile perfectly or something like that
   
   Altho', thinking about it, there might be no comments and maybe no proper structure, so it would be a shitshow and probably better to just go with PCem :shrugz:
   
   I have an old VB3 game that uses the CPU speed for the game speed and it goes stupid fast even at the max setting (100 something?). With an hexeditor I was able to change the save file to a thousand something but it was still a little bit too fast
   
   But anyways, I can't currently make it work on wine so :shrug:
   
   That's probably be wasted time anyways
   
   It's too bad it's not more easily accessible because it's the best Puzznic clone I found

     @IceCubeSoup @coldacid @Moon IIRC it still exists because I wanted to try it myself and I had found it but it didn't work on modern windows. It's there, it's available

     @coolboymew @coldacid @Moon Yeah, there *was* a decompiler... but that was decades ago.

     This was before the web, and before google. I have no idea how I found the damned thing. Must have been via usenet.

     @coolboymew @coldacid @Moon
     The structure was OK, but everything had default letter names for variables, functions and so forth.

     So there was plenty of detective work to figure out what each function actually did
