I've tried several decompilers but they didn't work, or wouldn't even compile. I looked at boomerang, Hopper, snowman, retdec, and reko. The ones that work wouldn't handle the architecture. The ghidra decompiler has been the only one that has proven useful. I haven't read enough about it to know how to save source code out of it but I can browse decompiled output which is at least the first step in reconstituting source code.
In a previous life, I wrote a z80 decompiler that used printf to format the output. After a little whille futzing with assembler syntax, I changed it to produce output like 1132 *hl ?= '\n' 1133 if !== goto 1135 1134 hl++ 1135 return which made it easy for me to create c programs that did the same thing, modulo bugs. if (*hl == '\n') { hl++ } return --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
