- ChipPeek 2.1 documentation
-
- DISTRIBUTION
-
- This software is FreeWare !
-
- PURPOSE
-
- You can see your chip ram contents as a graphics screen, like any other
- mempeek. I coded my own, because there were not AGA mempeek when I bought my
- AMIGA 1200. (93')
- But now it is 96'. See the history from 2.0 below for improvements.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Any AMIGA with min. Kickstart 2.0 and the disk based commodities.library.
- Only 15 Khz PAL supported.
- It works fine on AGA machines too.
- It's not a bad thing to own some chip ram (.5/1/1.5/2Mb)...
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Simply start from WB or CLI. Tooltypes are handled by WB only, no CLI
- arguments.
-
- USAGE
-
- Start peeking - CX_POPKEY (def. <contorl f2>) or both mousebuttons
-
- Quit peeking - CX_POPKEY (def. <control f2>) or both mousebuttons
-
- Vertical scroll - move your mouse up/down
-
- Quick vert. scr. - move your mouse up/down + right mousebutton
-
- Horizontal scroll - press <left shift> AND move your mouse right/left.
-
- I coded this two direction move 'cause practical reason:
- I didn't like mempeek at that I couldn't set the right
- memposition fast. But with this method you can go fast
- through the mem (there are many dirty mouses...), and
- when you want to go only to left or right press shift.)
-
- Quick hor. scr. - the above + right mousebutton
-
- Switch resolution - press left mousebutton (lores/hires/superhires)
-
- Set Modulo - press <left alt> AND move your mouse left/right
-
- Set mark - press <shift 1> or <shift 2> or <shift 3>
-
- Jump to mark - press <1> or <2> or <3>
-
- Set to zero - press <z> to zero picaddress and modulo
- - press <shift z> to zero picaddress only
- - press <lalt z> to zero modulo only
-
- Remove - press <r> when you are peeking
-
- What numbers can you see:
-
- xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx
-
- address the leftmost highlighted word in bits modulo
-
- See tooltypes below from the 2.0 features.
-
- HISTORY
-
- 1.0 - First public release.
-
- 1.9 - Second public release. It is prerelease of 2.0
- - totally reworked
- - more system friendly
- - now it is commodity, all input handled by commodities.library
- - hot key
- - quick searches
- - setmarks
-
- 2.0 - Third public release.
- - tooltypes (WB)
- - CX_POPKEY (def.: control lalt p)
- - CX_POPUP (YES or NO)
- - PIC1 (pic address in hex, ie.: 1fe00)
- - MOD1 (modulo in hex, ie.: 28)
- - RES1=0 (lores)
- 1 (hires)
- 2 (shires)
- - PIC2,MOD2,RES2, PIC3,MOD3,RES3 like above
- - zero key (z) for pic address, modulo or both
- - 16 bit zoom has been redone
- - peek start with both mousebuttons
-
- 2.1 - 4th public release. Small update.
- - nice MWB and 4 color icons by Rendall
- - stack is set to 2048, cos it's enough
- - BMB tooltype added -> peek start with both buttons is optional!
- - most of the copper routines now is handled by the OS
- - it should work correctly with especially multisync monitors
- (sometimes the sync went away while peeking)
- - you can enable or disable the peek start via comm. Exchange
- - def. hotkey changed to <control f2>
-
- FUTURE
-
- x.x will have:
- - file peek !!! Suggestion by EFT.
- - dynamic 16 bit zoom refresh
- - perhaps input will be handled by intuition, or a totally systemless method
- for lowmem people
- - fastram peek
- - if anybody want free move (to up/down/right/left) at the same time,
- it will be switchable
-
