Editor Features

The main window

The main window is what you see when you launch the emu8086 emulator program

Toolbar

The toolbar contains a subset of the commands that you can use to control the running program, save files and take over the world 😎️. Okay maybe not that last part

Editor

The editor contains the text of the asm file that you are working on.

Bottom Bar

The bottom bar displays information about current emu8086 emulator activity and contains buttons with which you can use to view even more information.

Core Features

These are features offered out of the box by the emu8086 emulator but some features are dependent on installed plugins.

Breakpoints

Well it would not be useful if there wasn't any way to add breakpoints now would it.

Highlighting

The editor allows good quality highlighting.

No more wondering if mon is an opcode 😁️. The highlighting fairly covers most intel x86 syntax (the one's that the emulator can handle) however it doesn't handle directives like %if and the like

Register View

Whenever an asm program is running you can view the register values to the side of the editor.

So things like

Copy
call regDump ; are not needed

Memory View

The emu8086 emulator also has a window with which you can view the emulated memory that a running program produces

To open the memory view you can click on the memory view button at the bottom bar of the main window

Extended Features

These are features offered by plugins.

Outline View

Inserts an outline of the code in the editor, for details click here

Additional Features
