[21171] should fix the bug with inconsistent (warp) ui resorce state when booting an image with autostart warp enabeld.

I don't have a developer seed for 10.6 here, but I'll give it a try as soon I have snow leopard installed... I'll do another round of "remove-obsolete-calls for this release" then

[MagerValp]

[lallafa]

Oops.. overlooked that bug... :/

But now its squeezed: [21181] allows entering dead keys in the monitor....

[MagerValp]

Confirmed, thanks. I should enter proper bug reports instead of just posting here...

Any chance we could get a toolbar instead of the floating control window btw? It always seems to get in the way of something.

The register view window in the monitor is also really nice in the Windows port.

[lallafa]

IMHO, the controls attached to the canvas (formerly as a drawer) are a bit inconvenient: first they get duplicated on a multi canvas setup (x128) and second you can't access them in full screen. With the tool window you have a single instance for the emulator and even in fullscreen you can bring it to front for some adjustments.

I agree that some kind of docking or attaching behaviour of the control window would be really nice. Then the control tool window will move with the canvas if its attached to it.

I really need to have a look at the win monitor... to "adopt" some features from there

IMHO the VICE dual window UI for x128 is less than stellar. I think a tabbed window that can be switched between VIC and VDC tabs would be preferable, with the ability to tear off a tab to a separate window if you need to see both screens at once.

and second you can't access them in full screen.

A toolbar that drops down if you move the mouse pointer to the top or bottom of the screen would be nicer (again IMHO), but generally I only use hotkeys in fullscreen mode.

WinVICE is also a bit quirky, so it might be good to also look at e.g. the no$ debugger. Register/disassembly/memory inspection are things that would help a lot if they were always available.

I have lots of ideas for making a useful debugger/monitor, because I especially hate the VICE monitor as it is right now.

I much prefer the Power64 debugger. It has nice commands to dump the state of the VIC/SID/CIA in readable form.
It also has a powerful 'find address' command, which finds an address being used in absolute and zp addressing modes,
and if it's used as a branch target. It's also much more like traditional monitors on the C64, so I don't have to
consult the help that much. It lacks watchpoints though.

There's an Apple II emulator called Virtual][, which has a nice little debugger, where you could get some ideas from.
See here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~gp/VirtualII/VirtualIIHelp/InspectorHelp/inspector_help.html
Although it does lots of things in the UI wrong, it's still very good.

Interface builder mockups please!

[lallafa]

Thanks for the inspiration Some UI Addons for the monitor really improve usability in a debugging session...

I'll go for a memory view panel first and then have a look at a full featured register/disassembly/stack+custom chip register dump window

But first of all, I'll have to improve the current implementation of monitor input handling as it is running the monitor console window modally.... :/

[mrsid]

Interface builder mockups please!

No time, and you know why...

[mrsid]

Forget everything I said earlier, you need to do exactly this:

:D

[lallafa]

  wow, that really sets new standards for live debugging

I really like the interactive memdump/zoom utility... *want have*

However, I first stick with a no$ like debugger window and then head over to investigate live access...
In that context it would be great to have a mechanism for docking/plugging external inspectors... so i only have to provide an external interface and writing fancy plugins is up to you

I just added a custom 50.125 Hz video mode with SwitchResX, to give me smooth video in x64. Unfortunately I seem to get a lot of screen tearing. The video is almost perfectly synced, so the tearing slowly moves up and down the screen - extremely annoying and even less usable than the default 60 Hz mode :)

Doesn't x64 synchronize with VBL?
