Most of the time when I use FCEUX's Hex Editor the Find command does jack-shit.  No search prompt.  It pisses me off.  I try to dump it to a file where I can use a real hex editor to search, but it only dumps a sliver of memory that I don't need.   :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

It's a bug, present since at least FCEUXD (Where the hex editor was added).

Trying to dump what, exactly?

Yea i hate that so much. I use the find-search tool ALL the time. And it has this very annoying problem where if you close it once, it's never going to open again unless you close the whole emulator and reopen everything all over again. It irritates me so much.

Yea, but it's broken in fceux 2.0.3 which is what i use because no other version of fceux/xd/whatever emulates certain things properly about mmc5, so i use the latest version of the whole fceux 2.0 thing.

Well at least I'm not alone in this.  I closed the emulator, and tried it again.  You were right Kuja Killer, It'll serve me as long as I never ever ever close the search window, so I move it over so the Close button goes off the side of the screen so I can't click it without thinking (but I'm still liable to hit ESC). 
SliverX, I was mentioning the editor's dump-RAM-file feature.

Okay, this is a separate issue that is more of a hope than a frustration.  Is there any way to throw a breakpoint when the Accumulator strikes a certain value?  That would reeeally be useful to me.

Make a breakpoint for read, write, and execute for the address range 0000 - FFFF.  Then, set its condition so that it will stop only when the accumulator is at the value you want (like, A == #0A).

At first look I thought using the entire RAM as a breakpoint range was insanity, but now it makes perfect sense!  Thanks!
