I made a patch for 4.04 which made it 4.08.

Heres wat was needed. exe, 4 or 5 .dll files, files.sfs and a few 3do's and maps.
So for the reverse proecess all u need is the orig .dll's the files.sfs leave the new 3DO's, Apply the old .exe and done.

So is it really that cross compatible?

We would lose some things like X-4 functionality, the new view range etc. But if we could get 4.08 running with the old exec but using the new 3DO's and somehow integrate the new objects it would open some possibilities:
- Use of the original new 3do files would require that the person own copies of both 4.04 and 4.08 (thus preventing this from being piracy)
- It could allow us to use cockpits, objects and maps from 4.08 in the creation of mods
- If it is possible it should enable use to edit loadouts and weapons on the new planes
