#4Love this very cool explanation. Sort of guided puzzles solving tour.

#5This was delightful. The theme brought back memories of trying to bypass copy protection on old games. And the chap doing it explains it beautifully.

#6He just casually reverse engineered and fixed one of my favorite games then proceeded to find and patch back in hidden features. Wow. I love that the first comment says the next step is the network code because that's what I expected him to do next before the video ended.
But then he actually did it:
Without any captured traffic to analyze. Badass.

#8Thank you very much for this link. This guy looks to do a great job of demystifying reverse engineering. Will be subscribing in the hope of learning something!

#9I didn't follow too closely when watching the video, so pardon me if it's already answered in the video: did he end up hijacking a different button for opening multi-player dialog? I assume there is no way to recover the removed multi-play button since the sprite (?) was already removed?
Also I'm surprised not only they removed the multiplayer button, they even centered the remaining one.

I could be misremembering since I watched the video on its initial release day. I believe the sprite asset was still there and he was able to restore the original button.
