mesen-binary-monitor

This is a monitor for Mesen, intended to mimic VICE's binary monitor. It is currently in an alpha state, and some commands are not functional or behave incorrectly. To use it, make sure your script timeout is set as high as possible (2147483647) and start up Mesen as such:

Linux:

MESEN_REMOTE_HOST=127.0.0.1 MESEN_REMOTE_WAIT=1 MESEN_REMOTE_PORT=9355 MESEN_REMOTE_BASEDIR=/path/to/mesen-binary-monitor mono Mesen.exe /path/to/mesen-binary-monitor/mesen_binary_monitor.lua romfile.nes

Windows (CMD):

set MESEN_REMOTE_HOST=127.0.0.1
set MESEN_REMOTE_WAIT=1
set MESEN_REMOTE_PORT=9355
set MESEN_REMOTE_BASEDIR=/path/to/mesen-binary-monitor
Mesen.exe /path/to/mesen-binary-monitor/mesen_binary_monitor.lua romfile.nes

The options:

  • MESEN_REMOTE_HOST: The host to listen to
  • MESEN_REMOTE_PORT: The port to listen to
  • MESEN_REMOTE_WAIT: If set to 1, pause the emulator immediately and wait for a connection.
  • MESEN_REMOTE_BASEDIR: Must always be the base path of the script.
