nice to debug overflows, etc.\n```\n\n## Usage\n```\nUsage: ayydbg.exe [OPTIONS] --rom \u003cROM\u003e\n\nOptions:\n      --trace              Enable trace-level logging (highest verbosity, incl. cpu dump and mmio events)\n      --debug              Enable debug-level logging (mostly just cpu instructions)\n      --targets \u003cTARGETS\u003e  Targets to enable logging for [default: cpu,mmio,storage,ppu,irq,pipeline,rhai]\n      --script \u003cSCRIPT\u003e    Path to a custom script file\n      --rom \u003cROM\u003e          Path to the ROM file\n  -h, --help               Print help\n```\n\n### Scripting\nayyboy advance support's [Rhai](https://rhai.rs/) scripts. These scripts allow you to execute a given \"handler\" on certain events, namely:\n* Whenever the CPU executes an instruction at a given address\n* Whenever the MMIO writes to or reads from a given address (janky implementation)\n\nRefer to the [`scripts` folder](https://github.com/ioncodes/ayyboy-advance/tree/master/scripts) for examples. In particular, `dump_swi.rhai` is noteworthy as it logs every BIOS call.\n\n### Screenshot Database\n`rom-db` runs a given `.zip` or `.gba` and takes a few screenshots every now and then. Collection can be performed with:\n\n```bash\nbash external/collect_screemshots.sh \u003crom-folder\u003e                # edit script to change max process number\nbash external/clean_screenshots.sh rom-db-ui/public/screenshots  # delete duplicates, white and black images\n```\n\nThe screenshots are saved in `rom-db-ui/public/screenshots`. Build the frontend using:\n```bash\n# inside of rom-db-ui\nnpm install\nnpm run build # prod build is recommended for speed\nnpx serve@latest out\n```\n\nA snapshot of screenshots can be found in `external/screenshots.zip`. You can unpack these in the aforementioned folder.\n\n## Compatibility\nCurrently passes [`armwrestler`](https://github.com/destoer/armwrestler-gba-fixed/tree/master) and a good number of [jsmolka's `gba-tests`](https://github.com/jsmolka/gba-tests). For game specific compatibility refer to the [screenshot database](https://ayyadvance.layle.dev/) (updated on milestones).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fioncodes%2Fayyboy-advance","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fioncodes%2Fayyboy-advance","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fioncodes%2Fayyboy-advance/lists"}
