[Coco] Assembly help

[Chad H]

That’s really interesting, do you mean it can actually debug the program while it's running on a real CoCo?  Sorry, that's how I first read it.  Surely it must being doing some emulation on the PC.

So far I've heard about the M.E.S.S. debugger, MAME and now NOICE.   This is starting to remind me of my military days with the acronyms.  Another one to jot down for research.

There is a package called NOICE which permits a program running on a PC to debug a program running on a Coco. There is some code in the NitrOS-9 project under 3rdparty/p2mods/noice.

The program itself is described here
http://www.noicedebugger.com/
http://www.noicedebugger.com/help/mainhelp.htm
and what we would want is described here
http://www.noicedebugger.com/help/targets.htm#6809

The program had been free for Coco users but I don't know if that is still the case. You probably will still need to contact the author to get passed the trial period.
