Title: Write breakpoint doesn't trigger dispite memory clearly changing
Post by: wiiztec on January 13, 2014, 10:31:21 PM
Even with exact match unchecked it won't break

I've had this happen a few times over the years and now I'm finally asking, what's going on with this?

Are you sure you're not setting a read/write breakpoint on something that the Starlet is touching? (I/O, such as fb)

Exact match is actually less likely to hit a breakpoint because it checks alignment.

Breakpoints only happen if the PPC is writing to the memory.  If something else writes to memory, like Starlet, the breakpoint won't trigger.

I think it might also be the case that write breakpoints which occur during an interrupt won't be hit.
