Ethan Rose and Mark Avenue are each software program engineers with expertise within the decompilation scene. 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 software, and Decomp.me which is a collaborative decompilation and reverse engineering website.
Ethan and Mark be a part of the podcast to speak about N64 sport decompilation, stunning discoveries within the sport code, software growth, and rather more.
