Short: New Amiga monitor. Version 1.9. All Amigas. Author: jskov@iesd.auc.dk Uploader: jskov iesd auc dk Type: dev/moni Architecture: m68k-amigaos Announcement of GhostRider V1.9 PRODUCT NAME GhostRider V1.9 BRIEF DESCRIPTION GhostRider (GR) is tool for viewing/changing memory contents in different formats (hex/ascii/disassembly). Also it is possible to do program debugging independant of the system resources, i.e. in demos/games. This type of tool is called a monitor (remnant from the C64). GR features most "standard" functions, but also many things not normally found in this type of software. AUTHOR Name: Jesper Skov Address: (Check GhostRider.guide for snail address) EMail: jskov@iesd.auc.dk DESCRIPTION GhostRider is a new monitor written in pure assembler. The most important difference between GR and other monitors of this kind is that GR is build up from scratch - not a (simple) modification of some old CON-based monitor. Before starting this project I tried to figure out what single feature of a monitor is more important. Since a monitor is to be used by many different people, I decided that the most important feature would be the ability of configuration according to the user's needs. Therefore GR comes with a preference editor which will allow you, the user, to configure the "feel" of GR... See below for a list of some of the features in GhostRider: - Works on all (well, most :) Amigas; AGA, ECS, NTSC, PAL, MC68ooo-MC68o4o/MMU/FPU. - Does _NOT_ rely on the system to be around. - Fast screen handling. You may define custom screen types. By default the following modes are supported: PAL/NTSC lace/non-lace and productivity. - Powerfull input parser, support use of symbols. - Copper-list locater. - System, NMI, generic, reset (also GURU) & BreakPoint entry modes. - Text snapping/pasting with the mouse. - Full dis/assembler support for the M68k family (well, not the 'o6o). - "Standard" block dump as well as editor environments for disassembling, HEX-viewing, ASCII-viewing and Memory-Peeking (bitmap). You may of course also change the memory contents in all formats but bitmap. - Memory hunt featuring; long strings, jokers (wildcards), NOT-data, case(in)-sensitive text hunt, branch hunt and PC-relative hunt. - Memory fill featuring; long strings and jokers. - Breakpoint support. - Full control of CustomRegister contents at exit. - Results from hunt/compare operations are kept in a buffer for fast and easy access. - Capable of resuming (some) interrupted commands. - Disk system with UN*X like parsing of path. - Includes system interface (ghostrider.library) which allow usage in your own programs (for easy debugging). - Online help screens for quick reference to available key shortcuts and command syntax. - Full documentation in AmigaGuide format. NEW FEATURES GhostRider V1.9 contains following updates from version V1.0: - Added disk verify. - Better control of custom registers at exit; Now a copper-like program (supplied by you) may be executed at exit. - New generic entry mode. - Preference editor is now capable of changing the GR executable. - A few bug fixes. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS GhostRider should run on all systems, but the DeckRunner and Preference Editor require Kickstart 2.04+ (V37+). No additional hardware is required to run GhostRider.
