Anyone know what the "binary to C++" thing mentioned at the start of the article is? A quick google search shows nothing. i know Gregory Montoir is a programmer on ScummVM but thats it.

I don't know for sure but maybe Hex Rays ?

If you find out something that works well today, I'd like to reverse a binary I created 15 years ago. Let me know!

I love these kind of reviews. I wish someone would do a code review for some of the Ludum Dare entries. They only have 2 days to create a game so there are rarely comments. I was scratching my head at Notch's color palette code in "Minicraft" for a while for instance.

I put up the "part one" here: http://www.mrspeaker.net/2011/12/30/colorising-sprites-in-ca...
