ANIM 231 Weekly Illustration
Retro-Engineering, also known as Reverse Engineering is the process to create new products by disassembling existing ones to analyze their components. By studying the structure, function and operation of a mechanical device, electronic component or even software, new ones may be created to imitate, but not duplicate, the original.
One example of this process, which resulted in a legal suit, was where Atari incorporated program code used by Nintendo’s NES console and cartriges. Sega, which owns the Atari console, copied and improved on some security coding to validate their cartriges compatability with the Nintendo system.
