8-bit acorn emulators • Re: B-Em

I've been unable to work out how to save the memory to examine it on linux so I have no idea why this is happening

Indeed there is no command to do this from within the b-em debugger at the moment. There are a couple of options, though.

1. Use VDFS and *SAVE. VDFS allows use of the host file system as a normal Acorn filing system. See https://stardot.github.io/b-em/vdfs.html
2. Save a snapshot file (File->Save State) and then use the bundled bsnapdump program to examine it. The output includes a hexdump of RAM. You would run a diff tool on the output of bsnapdump for two different snapshots.

I'll see about adding a save/load function to the debugger. There is already a save command there but this saves the state of the debugger, not the state of the machine, as a series of command that can be loaded back into the debugger with the 'exec' command or the -exec command line option to b-em.
