BlastEm 0.4.0 - Now with GUI, improved debugger and more
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 7:49 am
Hello folks,
I've finally put together a new release of BlastEm. This one finally features a basic GUI though it is a rather eccentric one. The UI is actually a Genesis ROM running inside the emulator with some "custom hardware" to provide access to things like directory listings and certain emulator functionality. There will probably be a real UI at some point, but this was a fun little experiment.
The integrated 68K debugger has two new commands 'co' and 'di'. 'co' allows you to run a list of debugger commands whenever a particular breakpoint is hit. 'di' allows you to print a certain register/location before each debugger prompt (the Z80 debugger already had this previously).
There are a ton of accuracy improvements and bugfixes. Big thanks to Eke and Nemesis for their documentation/tests/notes.
I've had a report that GDB remote debugging is not working with GDB 7.11, but I haven't had a chance to investigate. Expect a fix soon.
You can see the full changelog and download links here.
