How SWG-Emu works is that the people who made it didnt pay anybody for it. When the game launched, it had its own unique mechanics ( thats when it was popular), then WoW launched and SWG was jealous, so they Re-Made the game to look like WoW, and more than half the players left. SWG EmU remade the game as it was back before the Update, so since the company kind of "threw" that away by "enchancing" the game, it wasnt considered illegal. If you would use the codes from potco i think you would have to use the coding from before looting ( idk i think), and like will said, revere engeneering, and other techinques to obtain the codes.
