Honestly, as a hobyist, I'd really recommend looking into Ghidra. It's really great, can be modified to suit your needs much more easily both thanks to its open source nature but also because of its really good API (IDA's scripting API is a huge mess...). Its decompiler is also really really good, and keeps getting better.

This is coming from someone who has access to an IDA Pro license through work, and uses both it and Ghidra daily. IDA does a few things better than Ghidra (Lumina is much better than ghidra's FIDB, the debugger support is a bit more feature-complete), but it's certainly not worth the steep price IMO.

Thanks. Guess I'm going to try out Ghidra later. It probably has way more than what I need.
