This is where the actual "decompilation" happens.
| Challenge | Description | |-----------|-------------| | | Decompilers often misalign control flow at mode switches | | Inlined assembly | SDK macros use inline asm for speed; decompiler produces gibberish | | Overlays | Code loaded at runtime into same address space – static analysis misses cross-overlay calls | | Custom memory maps | NDS has 8+ distinct memory regions (Main RAM, VRAM, Shared WRAM, etc.) – pointers ambiguous | | Register banking | ARM9 has banked registers for IRQ/Supervisor modes – decompiler sees only user mode | | Binary differencing | Matching decompiled code to known SDK versions requires signature scanning | nds decompiler
While NDS decompilation has come a long way, there are still challenges and limitations to consider: This is where the actual "decompilation" happens
