mesen-binary-monitor

This is a monitor for Mesen-X, intended to mimic VICE's binary monitor. It is currently in an alpha state, and some commands are not functional or behave incorrectly. I originally wrote this to support debugging in my VS65 Debugger. To use it, make sure your script timeout is set as high as possible (2147483647) and start up Mesen-X as such:

Linux:

MESEN_REMOTE_HOST=127.0.0.1 MESEN_REMOTE_WAIT=1 MESEN_REMOTE_PORT=9355 MESEN_REMOTE_BASEDIR=/path/to/mesen-binary-monitor mono Mesen.exe /path/to/mesen-binary-monitor/mesen_binary_monitor.lua romfile.nes

Windows (CMD):

set MESEN_REMOTE_HOST=127.0.0.1
set MESEN_REMOTE_WAIT=1
set MESEN_REMOTE_PORT=9355
set MESEN_REMOTE_BASEDIR=/path/to/mesen-binary-monitor
Mesen.exe /path/to/mesen-binary-monitor/mesen_binary_monitor.lua romfile.nes

The options:

  • MESEN_REMOTE_HOST: The host to listen to
  • MESEN_REMOTE_PORT: The port to listen to
  • MESEN_REMOTE_WAIT: If set to 1, pause the emulator immediately and wait for a connection.
  • MESEN_REMOTE_BASEDIR: Must always be the base path of the script.
