Console View

The console view combines VICE’s text monitor output with a small set of IceBro Lite commands. It is most useful when the Remote Monitor is enabled in VICE alongside the Binary Remote Monitor.

Type help or ? for VICE commands when connected to VICE, or cmd for a list of IceBro Lite commands. Tracepoint output is routed into the Trace View rather than the console.

IceBro Lite console commands

• connect / cnct [<ip>:<port>]: connect to a remote host (default 127.0.0.1:6510)
• pause: stop VICE
• font <size:0-6>: adjust the console font size
• eval <exp>: evaluate an expression
• history / hist: show command history
• clear: clear the console log
• poke <addr>,<byte>: write a byte to memory; both values may be expressions
• remember <byte>[-<byte>] [<addr> <addr>]: remember matching bytes in a range
• forget: clear the remembered matches
• match <byte>[-<byte>] [<addr> <addr>] [clear|filter|trace|watch]: match remembered bytes and optionally create checkpoints
• gfxsave [<name>]: export the current graphics screen to a set of files using the supplied base name

Use cmd <command> for help on a specific console command.

remember

remember <byte>[-<byte>] [<addr> <addr>]

Stores a new set of matches in the requested address range. It is the same idea as match <byte> <addr> clear.

forget

forget

Clears the remembered match buffer.

match

match <byte>[-<byte>] [<addr> <addr>] [clear|filter|trace|watch]

Compares the current memory contents with the remembered byte range. The clear flag resets the current results first, filter removes non-matching entries from the current result set, trace creates tracepoints and watch creates watchpoints.

gfxsave

gfxsave [<name>]

Exports the current graphics screen to a set of files using the supplied base name. If no name is supplied, the command uses gfxsave as the default name. It writes a .txt metadata file, a .scr screen dump, a .col color dump, and a .chr character dump for the detected graphics mode.

poke

poke <addr>,<byte>

Writes a byte to memory even while VICE is running. Both operands may be expressions.
