ChipPeek 1.9 documentation
DISTRIBUTION
This software is FreeWare !
PURPOSE
You can see your chip ram contents as a graphics screen, like any other
mempeek. I coded my own, because there were not AGA mempeek when I bought my
AMIGA 1200. (93')
But now it is 95'. See the 1.9 improvements below.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Any AMIGA, but it works fine on AGA machines.
It's not a bad thing to own some chip ram (.5/1/1.5/2Mb)...
INSTALLATION
Simply start from CLI.
USAGE
Start peeking : ! 'ctrl lalt p'. (will be configurable in 2.0 ...)
Quit peeking : ! 'ctrl lalt p' or both mousebuttons
Vertical scroll : move your mouse up/down.
Quick vert. scr. : + the above + right mousebutton
Horizontal scroll : press left shift and move your mouse right/left.
I coded this two direction move 'cause practical reason:
I didn't like mempeek at that I couldn't set the right
memposition fast. But with this method you can go fast
through the mem (there are many dirty mouses...), and
when you want to go only to left or right press shift.)
Quick hor. scr. : + the above + right mousebutton
Switch resolution : press left mousebutton (lores/hires/superhires)
Set Modulo : ! press left alt and move your mouse left/right
Set mark : + press shift+1/2/3
Jump to mark : + press 1/2/3
Remove : ! press r when you are peeking
What numbers can you see:
xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx
address the leftmost highlighted word in bits modulo
(will be reimplemented in 2.0 ...)
HISTORY
1.0 - First public release.
1.9 - Second public release. It is prerelease of 2.0
- totally reworked
- more system friendly
- now it is commodity, all input handled by commodities.library
- hot key
- quick searches
- setmarks
FUTURE
2.0 will have:
- tooltypes (hotkey, jumpmarks, etc.)
- peek will be started with the old both mousebuttons method
- set to default (zero) key
- 16 bit zoom will be done
- wb start with icons (it is necessery for tooltypes...)
- if anybody want free move (to up/down/right/left) at the same time,
it will be switchable
- reworked documentation
x.x will have:
- perhaps input will be handled by intuition, or a totally systemless method
for lowmem people
- fastram peek
TESTED ON

- 4 Mb fast ram, made by DERKO
