@Radiant that's interesting behaviour I haven't seen recently. I assume you are using Linux version? Is disassembly "quick enough"? I mean how many instructions are processed per second... a lot or just few? This could be related to audio problems and sync, but also too slow processing. Hard to say without more details. I've seen people run this on Linuxes successfully (including myself of course), but I already know at least two small memory khm khm "disasters" ;) which should be fixed but I doubt that it is because of that. Could you please PM me so we can try to figure out what is going on using debug logs?

Ahh and the sources are on SourceForge.

Thanks for this!
With this debugger I found a bug I couldn't figure out for weeks!
And I probably only used a fraction of what it can do. Looking forward to finding out.

Hm, downloaded it and ran it. I get a window with some disassembly etc, a black VICE screen, and no possibility to interact with anything, to the point where I have to switch to a different workspace and manually kill the process.

Where are the sources?

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./C64Debugger) :-(
(Version linux i386)
Maybe it is better to link it statically ?

Thanks guys for kind words, comments and suggestions :) I hope you enjoy the tool as I do :)

@soci I have my own file browser dialog ready somewhere in Engine source folder. But not connected to the debugger view yet, I'll try to have it integrated asap.

@Icon this is not doable at this moment, but I know it's needed sometimes. In (far, far...) future I'll create layout designer so users will be able to set such things on their own. I need to refactor that memory map view anyway first... I think that something can be mocked up, like Setting to select the data width.

@Brataccas uniform pixels are now in Vic Editor view, you can select OS-specific uniform scale there for Preview window (50%, 100%, 200%, 400%). It is not possible in debugger views yet, but you can definitely check your pixels in the Vic Editor

@pmprog menus are planned, and also some status bar. But there's a key shortcuts sheet available created by Syshack, you can check and print it here: http://csdb.dk/release/download.php?id=185120 however, it is outdated. Isildur promised to create something too :-) By the way, getting familiar with key shortcuts will definitely come in the more you use the tool.

Also I advice you guys to check out the -pass command line option, mixed with 'keep window always on top' switch in Settings helps a lot with deep debugging sessions.

I really like this tool. One thing I think it really needs though, is some sort of menu/navigation/toolbox. I can never remember all the keyboard shortcuts

*Amazing* stuff, very impressive and very useful. THANK YOU!!

Amazing! This is a fantastic tool.

Minor item: Is there a way to set the size of the window so the c64 screen is scaled by an even multiple of pixels (like 2x)? Full screen is close, but still some pixels are non-uniform size.

Also no luck with Debian 9.0.1. But it worked from the command line as suggested. Looks fancy I must say ;)

Also, now it's one of the most powerful graphics editors ever made for the C64. Try CTRL+SHIFT+F6

Very very useful, thank you so much for releasing it. This will save me so much time while debugging.

This one is certainly in my top3 tools these days. Makes debugging maybe not "fun" but certainly faster and less painful. Kudos to Slajerek for making it happen.

@soci this is known bug related to GTK and that running own event queue is not working on some Linux flavours (it works for me on Debian/Slackware & Fluxbox though). Thus this excerpt from README: "On some window managers flavours in Linux system open/save file dialogs are behaving incorrectly.", I was not able to reproduce this on my setup, but I already got some reports of such bad behaviour and according to Stack Overflow this is known problem in some versions of GTK :-(

Anyway, I think the best solution here would be to just not rely on OS open/save dialogs and create own C64-themed open and save browsers... also, as a workaround you can open files from command line :)

Probably great, but I couldn't try it in detail as the open dialog was not working with i386 Linux live CDs I had.

Great work with this one, it looks really useful. The "memory map view" is really cool with the read/write highlights. Is it possible to change the memory alignment for the "memory map view" to other values than 256?

Great release! Would be cool if you could add text/header so you know what page/side you are on.
