+slx Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The graphical C64 Debugger is now being extended to cover Ataris as well (using atari800). I am excited about this as I found it very useful when trying to find level data inside the C64 version of Shamus. It shows all memory on a single screen which is very nice to find out "where something happens" when you hit a button, etc. The user interface sticks to "80s spirit" as you basically have to memorize ctrl-key commands but there's a detailed readme file. The Atari user interface is still in alpha but I've already donated a beer and look forward to further development! 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrbrevin Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 just checked it out - looks like it was written in turbo basic..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erichenneke Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Looks great, but I can't figure out how to get it to actually load and execute any files. I've tried the load and ctrl-o function with atr and xex files but doesn't seem to execute. I am running it on an old XP machine right now. What's the trick?

I'm not sure the user interface works at all as it's still Alpha status. I couldn't get it to load either but did not try for more than 2 minutes. I joined the facebook group and will eventually ask there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 This is a really nice piece of software! I'm glad it was ported from the C64. I got it working. You have to give it OS ROMs. Press F9 to get into the Emulation config. Also, you have to change it from the default of an Atari 400 with 16KB of RAM to get most things running. Press Control-Y to enable keyboard joystick with arrow keys and right Alt key as fire. I think it's already shown me a sort-of bug in Bomber that I never knew existed. It shows a strange memory reading pattern that seems to span the entire address space. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks, Xuel. Didn´t come to the idea of pressing F9. Works fine on Mac OS X Catalina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used f9, gave a path to roms, changed to 800xl 64k. Then tried ctrl-o and also the load option from home screen. No luck for me yet.
