The Github link is dead, DMCA or incorrect link?

Do you have any resources or advice to building up the skills required to do something like this?

I like the idea of fixing up some older, unsupported, games I have issues with but would like to upskill using some structured resources first (books/videos/guided projects).

Great work! This is the kind of wizard-magic I wish came naturally to me.

Learn C and Assembly, learn how to debug your own programs.

Then try debugging other programs.

^ yeah that. I started with C so I always had decent low level understanding. I've found I pick things up faster if I'm doing stuff, not reading about it but YMMV.

I probably I picked up most of my reverse engineering skills practicing on crackmes and reading/watching other people's solutions on crackmes.de (now dead) but you can try your luck in the successor https://crackmes.one/
