Case study

Deus Ex: reconstructed DeusEx.dll native code

Reconstructs the native DeusEx.dll game module for Deus Ex from analysis of its retail binary and Unreal Engine 1 interfaces. The project combines decompiler output, disassembly, SDK headers, UnrealScript declarations, and observed behavior; its recovered C++ remains a work in progress.
