Looking for the name of this awesome program
« on: February 22, 2008, 08:19:52 AM »
As said in the title - I'm looking for the name of a program I used to use quite a while ago, it came on a disk containing EMACS and a sector editor

All the program did was basically allow you to scroll through a graphical representation of RAM - ie: The contents of RAM... As a scrollable bitmap! It was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

High score tables of games I played before soft resets (and quick hard resets) were visible, as well as sprites, a snapshot of the workbench desktop, and lots of checkerboard patterns as well as other crap - Very VERY smooth scrolling too!

Any ideas?

For those wondering, THIS article kinda brang back those memories. After seeing the odd/even bars showing RAM content degradation, I thought "Wait a sec... I've seen something like that before, over 15 years ago!"

I think the one I used was called "memory view" or "memory viewer".  It was activated by pressing both mouse buttons simulatneously, and you could scroll through the memory by moving the mouse up and down.  I'm pretty sure I still have it on a floppy somewhere.

I doubt it's the same version you're talking about, but maybe it's a pointer in the right direction.
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!
