Nds — Decompiler [repack]
This generates your target binary files ( arm9.bin and arm7.bin ) and a folder containing all code overlays. Step 2: Preparing the Decompiler (Ghidra)
Load the extracted arm9.bin or the entire .nds file into your chosen decompiler (e.g., Ghidra with an NDS script). Ensure that the processor module is set to (for ARM9) or ARM v4T (for ARM7). Loading an automated memory map script at this stage is crucial; it labels hardware registers (such as display control registers or button inputs), turning anonymous memory writes like *(volatile uint32*)(0x04000000) = 0x2000 into readable statements like REG_DISPCNT = DISP_MODE_3D .
