Coding > Insight GDB / VisualBoyAdvance

Does only the SDL version of VisualBoyAdvance work with GDB? I can't seem to get the other versions (also for windows) working - just freezes.
Is this the way of things, or am I doing something wrong?

I get the same error. I try to get VBA Win32 version to listen on the default port then I launch GDB+Insight and the debugger will not load until I exit the VBA program. No idea why this happens.

Try the SDL version that seems to work. Command line like this:

vba -Gtcp:55555 mme.gba

Make sure load up your gba file on the command line and compile your objects with -G for debug information.

I don't know why the standard windows VBA doesn't want to debug, prehaps something do to with windows 2k, which I am running. Still the SDL version works for me and it's very useful indeed debuging things with insight/GDB. There are ofcourse no 'windows menus' on the SDL version all the options are set though a textfile that is read in.
