Like MVP, MVN is a memory copy instruction. Before executing the instruction, the source and destination addresses are loaded into X and Y respectively, and the length of the copy is loaded into A. The operands to the MVP/MVN instruction specify the source and destination banks. A snippet from the wonderful 65816info.txt: MVN Move Negative is used when the source address is greater than the I wonder, is it just me, or do people really hate looking these things up for themselves? Do some research, people! |

Just tossed a random question out to legalize the thread bump. I have that document and everything, and I have no problems looking things up for myself. I just suck at bumping threads I suppose. Sorry for troubling you. (edited by Chickenlump on 04-19-05 11:22 AM) |

I have created a few "de-annoyifier" patches for ep9r8. The first, ("noask") will remove the annoying nag Message Box asking if it's OK to remove the head/deinterleave the ROM; the changes are made without user intervention! The second patch, ("nosave") also removes the nag, and in addition will NOT edit the ROM *at all. These are mostly the result of, "If you want something done right, do it yourself." They are mostly for novelty purposes, where 'novelty' implies that you hate annoyances enough to hack them out. (*cough*) I made similar patches for ep9r7 but didn't bother posting, because that build contained a nasty bug, any way. Download here and enjoy. * The ROM file will not be modified unless you explicitly save it through some means such as the "Save ROM" button in the hex editor. |

I'm trying to run the problem, and I've placed the .dll's in both the system folder and the folder with the program, but it still gives an error message. When I go to run it, I get an error, as well as a very long path name that leads to a folder that doesn't exist. | |||

You should probably ensure you have the *full release* and not the *update* that Geiger linked to. Like so: http://geigercount.net/crypt/snes9x1.43.ep9r8.7z | |||

Possibly found a little bug, or I might just be looking at this the wrong way, but it has to do with the skip instruction. Nothing major, just some confusing output. I'm running Zelda 3, I break execution at $008888, I step in a few times until it starts looping a CMP and a BNE. On the BNE instruction ($008894), if I look at next op, it just lists the BNE again. If I skip the instruction, it again, lists the BNE, and then proceeds to execute the LDA at $008898...that is, it seems to skip the SEP instruction at $008896. It certainly seems to be executing the instruction (as the M flag is now set), but I would've expected that the both the next op and skip commands would list the SEP instruction, rather than repeating the BNE. | |||

The "Next Instruction" button actually displays the *current* instruction. But really the whole idea of discussing this button and it's use can get messy. You see, the emulator stops execution after one instruction has finished executing, and before the next instruction will execute. Effectively, this makes the "next" instruction that of the "current" instruction, due to being stopped in between two instructions. Therefore, "next", in this context does not mean "the instruction following the current instruction" but "the next instruction which will be executed"... Which also happens to be the current instruction! Now if THAT doesn't confuse you, I don't know what will! |

I have a problem. Whenever I try to open Kirby's Dream Course (U).smc with the debugger, it waits a second, then crashes and closes. I really want to be able to see data for that game so that's why I wanted to tell you about it. Oh, and it's 1MB for extra info. | |||

Thanks Parasyte, for the clarification, though I'd figured out that much, if I'm reading your right. I figured it stops it before the instruction, as if the address that the break is at were a label, sort of like how the GNU debugger stops at a label - before the instruction on that line is executed...but I still don't think that accounts for the problem I noticed...I'll reiterate the problem, hopefully a little more clearly 1) on the BNE statement, it thinks both the current and future instructions are the BNE, and 2) when I step over the BNE, it doesn't update what it displays as the current instruction to be the SEP statement, so it still tells you that it's on the BNE, even though it's actually properly moved execution forward to the SEP statement or maybe this is easier to understand 1)I break at 8894 (BNE) 2)I display current intsruction and next instruction, they both display as BNE (I believe it should be BNE and SEP, respectively) 3)I skip over 8894 to 8896 (SEP) 4)I display current next instruction, they display as BNE and LDA, respectively (it should be, I believe SEP and LDA, respectively) 5)I step to 8898 (LDA) - note that it does properly execute the SEP It just doesn't display it 6)I display current instruction, it properly displays as LDA |

Hello! Thanks for the clarification. Now that I can see what's happening, my explanation is not very relevant to the situation. When you push the "Skip" button, this is what it prints:$00/8894 D0 FB BNE $FB [$8891] A:BBAA X:00E0 Y:0000 P:eNvmxdIzC$00/8896 E2 20 SEP #$20 A:BBAA X:00E0 Y:0000 P:eNvmxdIzC Note that it's displaying two instructions on a single line. This is probably what is happening; you're not seeing the SEP instruction because it's printed off-screen, and you must scroll the edit box to the right to see it. This turns out to be a genuine bug. But a simple work-around is expanding your debugger window so you can see these 'badly printed' instructions. |

Geiger: I am trying to use Mark 9 release 7 (finally) but it isn't detecting any roms except the one rom that happens to be in My Documents. I checked back with release 6 and it was functional. Were you midway through implementing your overhaul of the open rom dialogue or something? The debugger is functional with roms that are on my recent list, however. | |||

Oh, whoops forgot about that. Well just as a reminder you should change it on your site as well. The most recent update is release 7. | |||

A small request, just to make things a little easier... For instructions in absolute, and possibly even indirect addressing modes, you quite conveniently provide the full address in the output, but, if it's not too much trouble, could you also provide the value stored in that address? for example, with 0D/F102 D9 F9 F9 CMP $F9F9,y [$0D:F9FB] A:0062 X:0000 Y:0002 could you also include the value stored in $0D:F9FB? I know the debug console's getting a little cluttered with all the information, but it'd save a whole lot of scrolling through RAM, which would make it much easier to figure out exactly what a subroutine is working with, particularly if it's working with data from all ends of memory. Also, just a suggestion, but to clean up the debug console, you might want to consider using a list view control to display the output...harder to implement, but it'd save you some trouble with formatting at least, and then we could just shrink and expand things as we need them. It'd make the app a lot more friendly with lower resolutions, and get rid of problems like that one with the "skip" output printing offscreen. (edited by DarkPhoenix on 05-01-05 07:08 AM) |

The only problem I have with list controls is that Windows does not include any native means of copying text from them. It's up to the programmer to include such functionality, and such functionality is imperative to the debugging process. | |||

Actually, I originally designed the interface to use a list control, but I opted to use a textbox for a couple of reasons. The large number of columns needed created quite the cluttered mess. More importantly, it also made it virtually impossible to output other information in a readable manner. This would have required the usage of two separate controls to output information (textbox and list), and I did not see much of a reason to do it that way. As for your request, it is something I have considered adding. I will keep it in mind. ---T.Geiger |
