Decompiler Dede !full! | Delphi

What is Dede?

Dede (also known as Dark Deeds or just DeDe) is a decompiler for Delphi and C++ Builder executables. It extracts forms, events, and source code structure from compiled binary files (.exe, .dll, .bpl). It does not produce original Pascal source code perfectly, but it reconstructs:

  • Form layout (DFM data) as text
  • Event handlers (method names, parameter lists)
  • Published property values
  • Some reverse-engineered code (pseudo-code or disassembly)

It became famous in the early 2000s for reverse engineering, debugging, and recovering lost source code. delphi decompiler dede


Usage Example:

python delphi_decompiler.py myapp.exe
