- CyberSnooper is an utility to show instructions that have to be
- emulated. It's helpful for Developers to see where they can optimize
- their applications.
- For experienced users it's useful to see what CyberPatcher has to
- handle and where it can be improved if it doesn't handle a certain
- instruction.
- I have only tested a variety of programs to find the most used
- instructions so a lot programs may not be patched.
-
- It's important in what order you start the programs:
-
- 1) CyberPatcher and then CyberSnooper.
- Now CyberSnooper will output every¹ FPU/INTEGER instruction
- that causes an exception.
- These information may be helpful when CyberPatcher crashes
- for some unknown reason and you want to see what is the last
- instruction it saw before it crashes. Please be aware that
- Sushi buffers so you usually don't see the last instruction that
- may cause the crash. You need a real NULL-Modem link in this
- case.
-
- 2) CyberSnooper and then CyberPatcher.
- Now CyberSnooper is only called for instructions CyberPatcher
- doesn't know.
- These informations may be helpful if you want to tell the
- author(me:-) what kind of instruction CyberPatcher doesn't
- handle yet.
-
-
- CyberSnooper supports Segtracker that can be found in the
- Enforcer V37 release and you also need a debugging terminal
- or debug output snooping utility like Sushi to see the output.
-
- ¹ Every instruction that has to be emulated and causes a certain
- exception.
