Best 7800 emulator+debugger

[l12n]

What is the best emulator+debugger for the 7800? I am using a7800 which has a debugger but I'm wondering if there's something better out there (e.g. performing a full memory dump on a7800 doesn't seem very easy to do)

Unfortunately no.

You can also try

If you are using ASM, you can use Altira and Atari800 debuggers for some part of your code.

I'm using them more often than A7800  

In general my mappers and sound chips are not supported by any emulators so I'm using only MiSTer at the moment.

In the debugger, save /tmp/dump,0,10000 does that. (Replace /tmp/dump with your file name of choice)

Actually I found out the issue: the number needs to be in hex (save dump,0,ffff). When passing 65536 the result was truncated.

Yes, it uses hex by default. You can provide decimal numbers with the leading `#` sigil
