Binary to source - suggestions?

Hi all.

I could use at this moment a de-assembler/de-compiler tool (creating a source file from binary files) - need to fix some things in someone else's coded stuff. Of course this is doable in AR monitor ;) but somehow I have a feeling that this way should be much more convenient ;)

Any suggestions of a good, smart tool to use?

Yo WCK!

These disassemblers should do :)
Regenerator 1.3
Infiltrator Disassembler V1.0

There's Rosetta too but I haven't tried that.
Rosetta Disassembler V1.7.4

Thanks for many suggestions, I will try them out :)

And no, I will not buy IDA just for reassembling someone else's intro to fix it a bit, just as I would not buy a cannon to shoot a mosquito. Obviously ;)

for just a single program you'd probably also spend more time learning IDA then doing actual disassembling work =D

I copy Vice disassembler window to editor and do the rest by hand. Helps me understand the code while I'm fixing it.
Costs a lot of time, that's why I don't do this very often.

Oh, and labels are changed into something with the absolute address, which I later change into something more understandable.

Yes, I'm crazy.
But it works.
