Dr Mefisto, the IDA master !

[Dr. MefistO]

What do you mean? I know about your loader. Smd_Ida_Tools is based on it.

Nothing.

Smd_Ida_Tools is based on it.

If so, I bless it.

[Dr. MefistO]

Nothing.

I see...=)

By the way, version v1.0.2 is ready. Fixed an old bug with RAM Watches (also was in Gens).

Oh, by chance, did you fix the wrong VRAM address decoding on SMD tools ?

Yes. As I remember, in one of the last versions.

Does a wrong VRAM address was only for Window plane or for some other addresses too?

it was for DMA actions

[Dr. MefistO]

it was for DMA actions

Could you give me an example of such commands?

err...let me find it again

[Dr. MefistO]

Meantime... Gensida was updated to v1.0.3.

• Fixed slow Plane Explorer;
• Some other optimizations.

[Dr. MefistO]

Gensida was updated to v1.0.4.

Breakpoints were reorganized. Now to set VDP breakpoints, you need to open (View->Open subviews->Segments) and find one of appropriate segments:

• VDP_DBG_VRAM;
• VDP_DBG_CRAM;
• VDP_DBG_VSRAM.

To set "Forbid" breakpoints you should type-in "1" in "Condition" field of breakpoint, and check "Low level condition" checkbox.

where do you find the last gens r57shell mod ?
I have the r665, can't be sure it's the last one....
