I am planning on having a debugger in the next release of Stella. I think it would be a great idea to have a source level debugger that allows the user to load in a listing file and have the debugger use it. I'll look into this for the debugger. It'll probably have two modes one for a listing file and another one that just disassembles the code from ROM (like PCAE). For me to get this right I'll need sample listing files from the various assemblers and disassemblers. Which ones should I support (Dasm, Distella)? What do you all think about an integrated assembler? Instead of loading a bin file into Stella you would load an aseembly file and it would assemble it for you, generate a listing file for the debugger, and start it up... > Also, any idea why my game demo doesn't work with Stella?

I'm not sure why it's not working. I tried it a few weeks ago and I was able to get a screen to appear but it wasn't very stable. Right now I'm focusing on improving TIA emulation and I haven't even started thinking about Supercharger improvements. I'll probably start that in a week or two. I'm sure the source code would come in handy at that time. Later, Brad -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bradford W.
