I've been trying to figure out the upd7810 processor and the ap2000 driver with the aid of the mame debugger. I would *never* be able to do this without it. It's got so many neat features.
I must have about 10 different windows open, multiple disassemblies, multiple memory windows, watchpoints and breakpoints. It's really slick.
Perusing the debugcmd.cpp file gives a bunch of useful commands like:
history (interestingly, the history is printed out most recent statement first, oldest statement last)
trackmem
trackpc
I particularly like the ability to right click on a memory location and see what the PC was when it was last written.
Great stuff and it makes it fun to watch the cpu work.
