You need something which will allow you to track the current position of code and refer it back to a particular section of source, and automatically take you to that source. It's the kind of thing that only a tight level of integration between the tools (the assembler, the editor and the simulator) can really bring. What I want is to be able to set a break condition within the IDE, click "debug" and have the system automatically upload the code to SimCoupe, along with those break conditions (be they PC=nn, HL=nn, int0, NMI, (NN)=NN or whatever) and when that occurs SimCoupe automatically stops execution, passes the program counter back to the IDE and the IDE takes me to the code, and lets me check the values of registers from within the code, by (eg) hovering over the register (or memory pointers) in the source, as well as modifying registers and the stack. There'd also need to be a certain amount of cleverness to handle self-modifying code - perhaps the listing could show a disassembly of the current state next to the original (if it had changed)? I'd also want an include file with all the memory mappings, port addresses etc defined. Now if you can get all that, I'll consider writing a Sam game :) Geoff ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service.
