Hacking of The Dead: Reverse engineering a 90s SEGA video typing tutor video game - SoCraTesUK/socrates-uk GitHub Wiki

Typing Of The Dead is a SEGA video game from 1999. It is the 1998 arcade lightgun game "House of the Dead", but as a typing tutor.

Last year I reverse-engineered the text resource files in order to change the words. There are a few interesting quirks I don't quite understand.

The session was a short presentation of the format / encoding of the word files, along with a demonstration of the hacked game.

The session then continued to explore a few other more powerful hacking tools, such as https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/support/download_freeware.shtml and https://ghidra-sre.org/
