Hey I was wondering if you knew of any sites that provide info about inner workings of n64 games like Ocarina of time or Rare games like Goldeneye? I have always wanted to learn more about these titles but I have not heard of any attempts to reverse engineer them.
Yes! :) There's a great book called the Nintendo 64 Anthology that is a fantastic read to get in-depth history of the console. It also dives into how Rare created Golden Eye and some good info about Silicon Graphic's hardware development at the time.
If you have any interest whatsoever in goldeneye I recommend watching some videos from the youtube series "speedlore". It's a guy who has been speedrunning GoldenEye for 20 years (together with their community).
Due to the nature of speedrunning, there is a looooot of details about the game they've investigated and he goes through loads of examples throughout his videos. They definitely reverse engineer the games to figure out how they work so they can do more tricks etc.
