Title: Winape Breakpoint Chunk format ?
Post by: krusty_benediction on 15:31, 07 November 21

Hello,Winape is able to load breakpoint chunks in snapshots.The only documentation I found is there: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php?title=Format:SNA_snapshot_file_format&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile#Breakpoint_chunk_.28Winape_emulator_specific.29

QuoteBreakpoint chunk has the name "BRKS". The chunk contains 1 or more breakpoints.
Each breakpoint has the form:
2 byte address 1 byte code (0=base 64K RAM, 1 = extended RAM) 2 bytes condition

But what about the description of the condition ? Does anyone have already reverse-engineered some snapshot to guess its content ?
In another page, I have found another breakpoint chunk for winape: https://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Snapshot#WABP_Chunk_.28Winape.29 which seems to be more complex but the sentence

QuoteThe exact details are begin worked out.

does not make me confident to try to implement it. Is there more informatio nsomwhere ?
Thanks

I have a added a basic breakpoint support to my assembler (only based on addresses), but I'd like to play with conditions too.

In RASM, condition is always zeroed for an "always break" condition for BRKS segment
i did not try WABP chunks

yep; did the same, but it is quite minimalistic in view of what is possible :(
