    I already know it's compiled code and it might be difficult to understand since I'm not a dev, but I need to try. How would I decompile it so that I can open it Notepadd++?

    You can decompile disassemble (correction by C0C0 lol) it through IDA Pro, or even hook into it lol! (hook into a process that is hooking into another process lol), but it would be pretty hard to edit it through IDA Pro, if you've never done something like that.

    I recommend just making your own dylib.

    Just a tiny correction: you can't decompile it, but you can disassemble with IDA Pro. :p

    Oh yeah, disassemble. No wonder why it sounded so strange lol.

    IDA Pro, that's for Windows right? And I've never done anything in C or C++ so I can really make my own dylib lol I do, however, work a lot with JavaScript and HTML so I might just able to take a look at the code and sorta piece together what each line does.

    It won't look like html, js or even C at all. You will get ARM assembly.
    But the demo version of IDA Pro works just fine, so you can download it and see for yourself.

    Yeah, it will sort of look like C.
    A little bit, I guess.
