Static Recompile

[Grench]

I have a native X86 Linux program - but no source code. I have 9 legal & legit licenses to use it. There is no company supporting it to contact anymore.


In theory it might be possible to static recompile it's executable to ARM...?


I have no idea of even where to start looking for resources to consider this. Where should I start?


Thank you.

Short answer, your not going to accomplish this in a short time, and if you have the background and skills to learn its going to be a long time.


The only system or recompiler for ARM (probably ever written) was by M_HT. It only works for certain DOS games based on what dos systems they use.


Only real option is to run the game in a x86 emulator like qemu or bochs. But be aware those are slow and if your app uses anything special like opengl then its not going to work.
