not pointing out where to look for. however i assume this would help the scene tremendously, since 3ds is arm, right?

Why would you not be able to link it up? Decompilers are fine to link up as long as they do not break other rules.

Anyway I would be curious to see what goes. If you have it and a copy of IDA to hand then please try it with the princess maker game on the DS that came with the source code left in. I would not mind seeing how close it gets.

Princess maker? It is a commercial ROM but the devs left in the source code for it (or the source code that they made -- the DS SDK used precompiled headers so it was mainly .c files).

cvn-prim4.zip aka Princess_Maker_4_DS_Special_Edition_JPN_NDS-Caravan was the game.

Granted you could probably use some homebrew to also test with but I reckon that game would be a good trial run.

Anyway I assume it is https://www.hex-rays.com/products/decompiler/manual/limit.shtml you are looking at. Looking at it I would say it is probably aimed more at IOS/android type things (the limitations mention 32 bit and float, the DS lacks the latter and I see no mention of THUMB). That said it is probably worth a look and I think my next systems to hack will either be android or some odd arcade stuff.

Whoa, I thought you mean can I link up the original author's page. You can't link up pirated software like that.
