Sounds like something that can easily be done with some powerful ai. So the reason it takes so long (why this post is claiming it’s 80%completed) is because of all the manual work. The code is already fully “decompiled” technically as the process of doing so is automatic and only as slow as the device it runs on. If my understanding is correct 80% is roughly how much of the code is rewritten with human readable code. In other words - we understand most of it and we could literally ship it like this with the remaining 20% obfuscated, we just can’t make any changes to that part because we don’t know wtf it does
