Description

So it seems that read/write breakpoints are broken. As for steps for reproducing the issue, in Breath of the Wild [US v208] with all DLC I found my arrow count using the memory search, which I verified by changing the value and seeing the amount update in-game, and then decided to see what assembly instruction was modifying that amount when I shot an arrow. So using the PPC Debugger, I set a write breakpoint on the address and shot an arrow which then stopped the game's execution at 0x02eb66c0 which is a lwz which is a load word instruction so there is no way that is modifying the arrow count. Also, I stepped forward one instruction and as expected the arrow count stayed the same. Though, I actually do know that the instruction that writes to the arrow count is at 0x02eb6768 so the debugger is stopping at the wrong assembly instruction.

In the meantime, you could try using the singlecore-interpreter CPU Mode in the game profile settings. Pretty sure interpreter was the only mode that allowed for stepping previously either so it's a better mode for debugging all around.

Ah alright. Thanks.

Okay so it seems to work with the interpreter but it's a little odd because the breakpoint triggers one instruction after the desired instruction.

Last mention of Breakpoints was 1.22.2

  • Fixed memory breakpoints and made them work with our new threading code

However, this may still be broken.
