Ethan Roseman and Mark Avenue are each software program engineers with expertise within the decompilation scene. Along with their work on particular video games, they’re energetic in creating open-source tooling for the decompilation group, together with Splat which is a binary splitting software, and Decomp.me which is a collaborative decompilation and reverse engineering web site.
Ethan and Mark be part of the podcast to speak about N64 sport decompilation, stunning discoveries within the sport code, software growth, and rather more. Be sure you try the Decomp.me Discord to be taught extra.
