Hi,

I must admit that when you first announced the project I was sceptical about how far it would get, but it looks like you've done some really good work with it. Congratulations!

Cheers,
Adam

This is very good to overcome console buffer limitation (esp. for page table). Thanks, I'll try it.

PS:
I hope it doesn't eat too much memory, one thing I hate the most from Java besides its slow execution speed.

thanks, just updated the feature list http://code.google.com/p/peter-bochs/wiki/features

It will eat 50-70MB ram, in my P8300 cpu, it runs very smooth and response quick.

thanks for support

This looks like a good supplement to Bochs.

I wish Bochs would provide binaries with SMP enabled as my Atom dev machine melts trying to compile anything more than "hello, world" :)

And you expect it won't melt while trying to run Bochs with SMP emulation enabled ? :D

I wish x86-64 support would be avialable sometimes as well ...

Hi all, the gui debugger can work with 2.3.7 and 2.4.1 too now.
Hi stlw, i will work out the x86-64 version. I am working on the single-step-trace on c level, I hope I will finish it tomorrow.
thanks
from Peter

Does it work with Bochs 2.4.2 ? And will there be native version for Linux?

Hi, yes, it work with 2.4.1, 2.4.2 and 2.3.x for sure. For older bochs, it *may* work, I didn't try it.
It is written in Java, you can run it in linux or windows. thanks

I meant an version specifically written for Linux, not Java one.

Surely you can't expect everyone to have computer with the same spec as yours. A native executable is preferred if possible, but if it messed up your mind, stay with Java. Anyway, since the program is not time intensive (but it's indeed memory eating), I don't really mind though it's written in Java.
