Reverse Engineering/Bashing Splinter Cell to See What Falls Out | DitD Episode 1

jeFF0Falltrades explores and disassembles Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell to reverse engineer its engine and file formats.

I had a great time hacking away at Splinter Cell and uncovering revelation after revelation in this first episode of "Disassembly in the D4rk", and I hope you do too! Please give me your candid feedback on this first entry and let me know what you think of the concept. If you did like it, there's still so much we didn't get to cover in this episode, so let me know if we should do another episode on Splinter Cell, or what other games or software you'd like to see in this series. And remember to subscribe and check the channel community page, or follow me on Bluesky (bsky.app/profile/jeff0falltrades.bsky.social) as - along with regular channel updates and behind-the-scenes stuff - I'll also be posting a question box for our upcoming "start of 2025" video soon.
