Migrating IDA .idb to .i64 or Ghidra

Post by cmb »

Is there a known/recommended migration path for moving from a 32-bit .idb database (created with IDA Freeware 5.0) to either (a) the 64-bit .i64 database format, or (b) Ghidra? It seems that newer 32-bit versions of IDA can open the older .idb databases, but it doesn't look as though they can be saved as .i64.

When Hex-Rays eventually drops their 32-bit IDA build entirely (maybe this has already happened?), I'd rather not be forever reliant on Wine or native Windows compatibility to run IDA 5.0, especially as Ghidra continues to improve.
