DEC uses one less byte than SUB.
The only difference is that it doesn't affect the carry flag, which doesn't matter since it's the zero flag that is checked.
Tested in the disassembler that DEC is indeed used (and uses 6 bytes instead of 7), and tested that some games work.
I guess that INC and DEC could be used for PPC's add and sub too if the second argument is the immediate 1... but maybe Dolphin has some optimizations I don't know about that involve merging it with a conditional jump that uses the carry flag somewhere. I'm not risking it.
