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
