Hello, first post here. Trying to get back into Amiga hacking after 30 years, and I am looking to get the hang of WinUAE and its debugger. So please excuse stupid questions (and I have searched the forums but probably the answers are too obvious to find there):
1- When I (W)rite memory it doesn't register if I (d)isassemble afterwards the same memory space, whether I use a 68000 or 68020, with or without max compatibility. Is there some kind of processor caching? And if so, how do I get rid of it?
2- How do I tell when in the debugger which file the actual code is running from?
3- Is there a way to easily write memory changes to disk without having to resort to some hex editor? I see there are L & S commands to load a block and save a block. Say I have hit a breakpoint and identified some code to modify, can I (W)rite memory and also save the relevant block back to disk correctly?

Thanks in advance, and sorry also in advance if I'm totally off base with my questions.
