I also highly recommend IDA. It is the best dissasembler out there. Decompilers dont really work well, so i would give up on them and not waste ur time.
IDA does a good job of distinguishing strings, data, and code... it also has support for the ARM processors (gameboys use ARM processors). I use IDA a lot, but never for hacking roms, so im not sure how it would do with a gba rom, but why not give it a shot. Its hard to find a copy on the net, but you can download the demo for free and try it out. I think it has a limit of like 32kb executables though which sux... could probably find a nice crack for it. I wouldnt know though, as my copy is legit.
Good luck. |

VBA is great for quick tracing, but if you want to get your hands dirty with some real reverse engineering, I'd recommend trying to get a copy of IDA Pro (costs a lot, but free if you know where to look  ). It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you know what's what it is extremely powerful. |

Visual Boy Advance has one, but it won't save to file. I used it to crack the main menu in Pokémon Advance. |

I've been searching around for a while, and I've been trying to find an ASM decompiler for the GBA. Now, I know there's a heap of compilers and devkits and the like out there and I keep stumbling into them, but I'm looking for a decompiler, as it's the next step in my Advance Wars 2 hacking...
Any help? |
