What DeDe does is providing you with the DFM files (containing the details of the objects included in a form) that you can open and edit with Delphi.

Most of the variable names used in the program are turned into addresses. While it can be used for some illegal activities implying decompilation of projects you don’t actually own and use of them to generate income, DeDe is really meant for the recovery of your lost source code, correction of errors, malicious code checking or the application migration to newer platforms.Ĭode decompilation is based on reversed engineering that cannot create an automated perfect copy of the source because of the conversion operations that take place during the compilation process. As no software can retrieve the source code 100% in both consistency and accuracy, any program that can get closer to that perfect score is, indeed, useful.
