Reverse engineering game formats for fun and profit! (or just fun)
summary
Concrete, practical reverse engineering: a hex editor plus a decode view reveals integers, endianness, signedness, and floating points (look for 3f 80 00 00 as 1.0). Files use headers, chunk headers or pointer tables; indices that are increasing indices often indicate triangle lists and let a 3D mesh be reconstructed. Images appear by resizing raw pixels, audio by waveform patterns; compression and encryption look random and resist decoding. Tools shown include search, debugger/emulator, and executable reversing; engine recreation and working conversions are achievable.
