Use the Dosbox Debug command: MEMDUMPBIN to dump a range of memory to a file named MEMDUMP.BIN Then use your favorite Hex editor to do all the string or byte searches to your heart's content on that file. Presto - you have your in-memory search capability. Best of luck, dvwjr

The reason is that I'm trying to find out why CodeView 3.11/3.14 crashes in DosBox. I debug programs written in Microsoft C 6.0 and they have symbolic information incorporated in them. This symbolic information is in NB02 format which only early versions of CodeView 3.x understand well. That's why I'm stick to these old debuggers. CodeView 3.x didn't show anything in DosBox 0.70 (immediate crash) but in 0.71 it crashes in process of working having shown a lot of stuff. So 0.71 debug version would be helpful.

angrylion Newbie Joined: 2007-08-14 Posts: 13 Location: Moscow, Russia	Thanks a lot! In 0.65 there was a useful feature that I used quite often: "1, 2, 4, 5 perform 100, 500, 1000, 5000 or 10000 CPU cycles then return to debugger mode". This is still reflected in the guide to the debugger but it seems that it disappeared in 0.70/0.72 heavy debug. Are these debugger keys completely gone or is it only my mistake?

From compiling it to installing precompiled pdcurses. Either I run into an error message "<fill in when I recall it>", or dosbox compiles and starts but quickly shutsdown without saying anything.

I also do --enable-core-inline Installed pdcurses-2.6.0-2003.07.21-1.exe, and recompiled; it does the startup immediately shutdown with no error messages routine. I guess I'll try without inline core. Nope, still no joy. Last edited by ih8registrations on 2008-5-02 @ 03:52 pm; edited 1 time in total
