ML Monitors etc.

Post by wemb »

Not remotely an experienced Acorn user, but I've just refurbished a Master and got it work and am in love with playing with the built-in assembler in BBC basic.

But - with my C64's - if I wanted to inspect a bit of code or search the memory or dump a programme, I'd just use one of my cartridges than had a ML monitor, decompiler and other dev tools built into it.

Never heard of something like this for the Acorn boxes. What's the 'go-to' way of doing this? Is there a typical cartridge for this? Or a ROM based solution?

Thanks
Dave

Back in the day I used Exmon; for a Master it might need Exmon II to handle the extra instructions. It's a ROM, but you could load it into Sideways RAM (*SRLOAD command).

Do a forum search and I'm sure plenty of copies will turn up!

I've got a very slightly updated Exmon II here: https://github.com/tom-seddon/exmon2_disassembly/

Main thing here is an Electron version from Mince (also of this forum), probably not urgent in this case, but the updated version does also not print EXMON II when you press Break.

Manual included in the repo.
