Bitplane removal on the fly

gifgit · 11 October 2015, 16:23

Is there any way to use hot keys to disable and enable bitplanes and sprites?
This would be usefull for ripping gfx.

Debugger has bitplane (Mb), sprite (Ms) and audio (Ma) masking commands.

For example "Ms 3" = show only sprites 0 and 1.

Yeah I tried that but I want to disable separate bitplanes on a dual playfield display, I removed the sprites without any problems but when I disable bitplanes I lose all of them rather than just the front or rear playfield.

"Mb 55" (show only odd planes) and "Mb aa" (show only even planes) works for me.

Never thought of that

Thanx

I must be doing something wrong because mb aa and mb 55 don`t seem to do anything. Weird.

Edit: sorted now many thanks

Are you typing a capital M in Mb as Toni wrote?

That was the problem I was typing a lower case m

I am a dick XD
