I did similar synth reverse-engineering of DS-10 synth from Korg for Nintendo DS, so not much desoldering involved :-) The goal was to get it running as a VST plugin, but ARM emulation wasn't fast enough, so I wrote a static-JIT decompiler and decompiled the synth portion of the code into C instructions (see "c-code.h").

The result is here: https://github.com/thement/ds10-vst

And the project log here: http://ibawizard.net/~thement/ds10rev.html (sorry for the missing pictures, they got lost when I moved servers)

That's a very cool project, kudos on the stamina, that must have taken you a really long time. And thanks for the reminder the fix the pictures on my own blog, exact same story.
