I have seen it mentioned here on page 4: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/132500/dirty_coding_t...

There's yet another article on dirty game hacks that I recall due to EULA self-hack: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/194772/dirty_game_dev...

I have no idea why this article doesn't link to these two and just to the 2017 one because it's not like these are current generation tricks, it's just that Brandon Sheffield took to write about them again (one of the articles above is actually his and the other one is by GDM that he is editor in chief of).

Also, the Crash Bandicoot text is the most impressive one and the first in this article but it was very widely circulated for a while now on several sites (including on HN once), despite the "nobody was the wiser until now" at the start of the article.

The one on the last page about using dexdrive was pretty cool. I used a similar technique to create ps1 save files that would trigger an exploit on the ps2 that would load unsigned code. I miss being able to do stuff like that. Modern systems are so locked down.
