Comment on Silent Hill decompilation just surpased 80%

Basically taking the game and turning it back to source code. With source code it would be easy to fix some issues (of there are any), see how developers implemented certain things, and also be able to run the game on hardware that it never was running on before.

Via native code, not emulation, in case this wasn’t clear. This means that you can port the game to modern consoles and take advantage of individual gimmicks, like the wiiu tablet

You can pirate something without decompiling it. Decompiles makes it so you can make proper improvements to it and port to other platforms without an emulator.
