A major update of Emulicious has been released!

This update comes with several additions and improvements.

One of these addition is the emulation of the FM chip of the SEGA Mastersystem. When it is enabled in the menu Options->Emulation->Master System then games supporting this chip will play music on it.

People interested in developing, hacking or researching games will be happy to see the new tabs in the Memory Editor. For the Master System and Game Gear a tab for VDP register and a tab for PSG registers have been added. For the Game Boy and Game Boy Color a tab for OAM and a tab for HRAM have been added. All systems received a Palettes tab in the Memory Editor.
Additionally, the memory tracer (previously only available for Master System and Game Gear) now also supports the Game Boy and Game Boy Color.

Furthermore, the UI of the disassembler table of the debugger has been improved. Its first column now spans the whole width of the table.

Last but not least, the Go To dialogs and the Find dialogs have been improved. The Go To dialogs are now enhanced by auto-completion facilities and the Find dialogs received a history and several search options.

The full list of changes follows:

Added FM chip emulation for the SEGA Mastersystem
Added a Clear Log button to the Breakpoint Window
Added Palettes tab to the Memory Editor
Added VDP and PSG tabs for Mastersystem/Game Gear to the Memory Editor
Added OAM and HRAM tabs for Game Boy (Color) to the Memory Editor
Added Memory Tracer support for Game Boy (Color)
Added Watchpoints for the Memory Editor tabs
Improved the UI of the disassembler table
Improved Go To dialogs by adding auto-completion
Improved Find dialogs by adding a history and several search options
Fixed cropped images in screenshots taken from Game Boy games

YES!!!!

Fantastic update! Just started trying it out. Things I noticed right away:

Nice to have hex values added for the hscroll/vscroll values in the Tilemap Viewer.
VDP register tab(!) and watchpoints. Thank you.
Palettes tab with on-the-fly value changes and watchpoints. Very helpful!
Find history is much appreciated!
Go To dialog much better!

Cheers :)

Wow! Calindro, awesome update!

New hacking options are much appreciated

FM Sounf is now incredible

Could you implement Region Switch for Master System????

Wonder Boy III, The Dragon's Trap need to switch to Japanese system for enable FM music, and hacks to enable it does not switch to fm in emulator.

Thankyou ;)

Oh WOW, this is awesome! Thank you!

I've been experimenting with SDCC and am using VS Code as my IDE with Emulicious-extension. I'm wondering, when debugging is there a way to have Variables show in hex instead of decimal?

That remote debugger looks honestly incredible. I'm excited to give it a shot as soon as I'll be writing some Game {Boy,Gear} code again--and I'm honored you've used my 2048-gb code to test! :)

There currently isn't a way to show them in hex yet but I can look into the possibilites of doing that.

Thank you Sanqui! Nice to see you here.
I didn't realize you were also in here. Only saw your name on GBdev Discord and also didn't realize that 2048-gb was yours. ^^
I hope it's ok that I used your code for taking some of the screenshots. :)
The extension is still quite young so I hope issues get reported quickly so they can be fixed quickly. :)

Just one question because I don't downloaded the emulator to test yet: The Emulicious offers GG Link Cable support?

It's not supported yet. Are you looking to play via internet or just want to try some GG link cable stuff on your PC?

I'm just ok with two windows opened in the same PC in first place, but offer options to LAN and Internet after that will be nice. After all, have options to choose is always welcome. ^_^

I would love to test how some games works with the link cable, like Crystal Warriors, or how works the Codemasters' Squinky Tennis mini-game found in Peter Sampra's Tennis and in both Micro Machines.

I would like even more if we can run separated games in each window... Like... I would like to test if link feature in the Squinky Tennis can work using two different games.

Or even load a game in one screen, and a patched game to remove the musics of the game loaded into the second window. So, we can make a 2-Players gameplay without two musics running at the same time to mess with the video's sounds.
