Along with their work on particular video games, they’re lively in creating open-source tooling for the decompilation neighborhood, together with Splat which is a binary splitting instrument, and Decomp.me which is a collaborative decompilation and reverse engineering web site.
Ethan and Mark be a part of the podcast to speak about N64 sport decompilation, stunning discoveries within the sport code, instrument improvement, and way more. Make sure you try the Decomp.me Discord to study extra.
