Logging Blitter Operations?

[mcgeezer]

Hi Toni,

Is there anything in WinUAE that would enable me to log Blitter Operations... perhaps on a rolling cycle?

I have an infrequent bug in my game which I'm trying to track down and I suspect it is my blitter routine as about 130Kb of memory is being stamped on and I can't seem to track it down?

In the absence of such a logger is there anything else that might aid in tracing the problem? Enforcer isn't picking it up because it writes to valid memory.

You can use memwatch points and set it to only break when blitter (or specific blitter channel) accesses it. (BLT, BLTA, BLTB, BLTC, BLTD)

For example "w 0 0 10000 bltd". When it breaks, blitter start values (+PC of blitter start register write) and current values gets logged.

Full blitter logging is enabled with -blitterdebug 1 command line parameter but this usually generates too many log messages..
