| Cool. You're not making an editor for the DoS FFII as well, are you? | |||

Originally posted by HyperHacker That's what 'step into' is for :p edit: deletered b/c Parasyte answered it. edit2: I've also been getting sketchy results when dealing with savestates and breakpoints. Often if I go to a savestate it forgets my breakpoints until I click on the breakpoint button and "refresh" it. edit3: regarding trace using the keyboard: when I turn on trace, then turn it off, and then turn it back on again, sooner or later (2 - 4 tries) I lose the ability to turn trace off. This results in me having to force quit the emulator and something like 1500 empty logs files are created in a matter of a few seconds. O_o. I've tinkered with the trace settings, and narrowed it down to one thing that might cause it. In the trace from dialog, if "to:" is set to 0, trace toggling will crash the emu as above.  since this is the default setting, you are setting people up for a high % of unintentional user error. I think it would be best to have those values as the minimum address of the rom and the "to:" as the maximum. btw, those are SNES addresses, right? Not file addresses I would think.(edited by MathOnNapkins on 03-16-05 05:06 AM) (edited by MathOnNapkins on 03-16-05 05:42 AM) (edited by MathOnNapkins on 03-17-05 06:12 AM) (edited by MathOnNapkins on 03-17-05 04:44 PM) |

| by telling you what is up ahead (the next operation) you can decide whether to execute it or not. Since you can skip instructions too. | |||

| d4s: I have a question. I'm trying to decide between three different assemblers right now, and I wanted to know if there was a directive in WLA DX to indicate the name of the output file. Right now in xkas or asm2hex I can use the directive #filename xxxxxx.smc to indicate which file to patch against, but I want to be able to specify the name of the file to create via source. For example, it might be #output xxxxxx.smc, or #dest xxxxxx.smc. any ideas? |

Originally posted by HyperHacker cheaters never prosper... but the thing about register breakpoints is good. If you've ever used Sneqr you'd know that the emu sucks, but has a damn good debugger (obviously not as full featured as this). But out of all the debuggers before this, I'd say it's the best. And it has the ability to wait for an opcode prototype. ex: w lda would wait for a lda command to pop up. w lda #$40 would wait for that specific instance of lda (with #$40) to pop up. |

| Since it's more than a few posts back I'll just note that there are some bugs I found in that post (the one with many edits). I didn't know if you read them given you only mentioned hyperhacker's post. The trace problem is by far the worse of the two. edit (4, technically, since it's a continuing bug report): eugh, the water gets more muddy. I confirmed beyond any doubt that the GSD tracing code screws with the 3D triforce scene in Zelda 3 (my baby). I had thought it had disappeared in this release (was present in mark 5 - 8 at least), but that was only b/c trace handling code doesn't seem to be active by default. Once activated, the triforce sprites do not come together in their normal way (rotating). They come in as fixed triangles each on its own linear path. You'll have to watch the whole animation to understand what I mean. My guess is that the code interferes with vblank or some type of DMA where the rotations of that sprite would get written to VRAM. I'm obviously no expert on the subject. As far as how I determined the above, I clicked "CPU" in the logging section. Resetting several times to see the consistency, you'll notice that logging is turned off on reset. But that alone doesn't disable the tracing code. But, clicking it on again, and then turning it off will. And the results show once you reset - it will be normal again. All this came about while I was trying to figure out how to use the tracing features of this version. I'm sorry but I find them utterly incomprehensible. in order to get an actual trace file to appear, I have to run through a lot of steps. I will mention before going into detail that the task I was trying to perform was to create a compilation of as much assembly from the game as possible, i.e. a quasi disassembly from playing through all or most of the game. That would require being able to trace from the very first instruction executed. 1. First, I have to make sure" trace to" is not 0. (due to the aforementioned problem of crash + thousand or more log files) for some reason "trace to" = 1 seems to work just fine.  . oh well. 2. Then I have to click reset. 3. Then I select "CPU" under the tracing options checkboxes. Steps 1 and 2 are actually interchangeable. But step 3 must come last b/c resetting the game turns the "CPU" check box to empty. (However, as noted above, the tracing code is still active, just nothing is being traced.) In addition, step 2 is required b/c if I load the game, do step 1, and then do step 3, without using reset, tracing somehow never activates. The emulator thinks it is tracing but it in fact not. Hitting the / button will give the message "Tracing End", but no log file will appear upon exit. This is in agreement with the all knowing triforce animation. It's actually rather fortunate about that triforce animation bug, or else I would not have been able to deduce what triggered these tracing bugs very quickly. So.... *takes a breather* sorry about the long posts but I'm not a terse guy I guess.  in conclusion, the tracing code is borked at the moment. Actually, the actual log files (when created) are perfect, no qualms there. This has to do with getting them to appear and not crash the emu. As Parasyte pointed out, I am indeed on Windows 98 SE, but I'm sure there are others. I don't have any access to other computers until a day or two from now, so if someone else wants to test out this stuff on a winxp or win2k platform go right ahead.Again, thanks Geiger for the debugger but lately I've been mostly cursing at it.  FloBo: no idea. That sounds really borked too. would help if you posted the game, the offset, the type of breakpoint, and some example output. We can't read minds.
