Debug your MSX with VSCode

Have you installed the Dezog package? I put the instructions in an earlier post.

I'm old and slow, but I use pasmo, zasm, sdcc(its assembler comes from ASxxxx), beyond I want to start something on Glass and zma, which Is HRA! new iteration of macro assembler.
As far as assembler support feature request goes, that's it. :P
Note - GNU binutils (gas, ld, readelf and stuff) officially supports/target Z80, so I would like to see some love for that too.

Are you asking me or S0urceror? I don't know the answer, as I only use Glass to compile asm source code.

The output has to look like this:

# file opened: main.asm

# file closed: main.asm

Important things to take into account:

• filename should be listed in start/close lines starting with #
• then the format: [line number] [address] [bytes] [label] [assembly]

I guess only the line number, address and labels are important. In the launch.json you can specify which input filter to use so as long as I can extract it with some RegEx we're good.

P.S. This listing is from some sample code that is part of the video I just put up on Youtube. There you'll find a lot more information.

Thanks! And nice, I’ll go and watch it!
