@coolboymew @rain @sun also the reason I mention Ghidra is unlike IDA pro, there's a huge ecosystem of random blokes writing plugins to say load a n64 ROM in.

The reason you're seeing decomp projects and REing intensify in the past 4-5 years alone is no accident, it's because Ghidra exists. Ghidra unlike IDA pro is free, taught everywhere in schools, can import an assload of CPU architectures, and despite it's learning curve is free. Everyone from malware devs to console hackers is using the fuck out of it when back in the day IDA (which you had to pay $$$ for or torrent) was the tool of choice.
