How do you decompile a .gba file?

Interesting question.
"Decompilation" normally means "to convert binary code back to the language it was compiled from". Most GBA games being written in C/C++, this is instantly deemed nigh impossible.
What you mean is "disassembling", which is "to convert binary code into the assembly language it's native platform uses". Right?

Decompiling involves 1. disassembling the binary code (trivial), and 2. generating plausible C code that could be compiled into such assembly language code (the subject of PhD research). Decompilers exist, but you probably can't afford a good one.
