| 19 | +The purpose of this documentation is to share insights gained from reverse-engineering various 3D mesh, texture, and compression formats used in retro video game development. These formats were often proprietary and optimized for the hardware limitations of their time. Understanding them can be useful for game preservation, modding, and educational purposes. |
