PureBasic executables are often packed with UPX or ASPack to reduce size. Unpacking them is necessary but insufficient. After unpacking, you still face the same compiled C/assembler logic. Unpacking does not reveal Procedure MyFunction(x.i) . Let’s look at a practical example. You have an exe and want to know what this function does. Ghidra gives you: purebasic decompiler
The long answer is more nuanced. There are two categories of tools that claim to do this: Searching forums and GitHub often leads to a ghost: a tool called UnPureBasic (or UnPB ). Users whisper about it in Czech, French, and German forums from 2006–2012. The lore suggests it could take an executable compiled with PureBasic 3.x or 4.x and reconstruct a .pb file. return; PureBasic executables are often packed with UPX
You can manually translate that back to PureBasic: Unpacking does not reveal Procedure MyFunction(x
