Add monitor memory search

[cedricp]

Hi, I added a memory search functionnality. I did it to hack some games and finally finish them ! Here's a quick doc :

• launch the game and check for lives number
• launch monitor (F2) execute ms <lives#>
• return to game
• die
• relaunch monitor and execute mr <lives#-1>
• show memory addresses with p command

At this point you should get one or more memory match (refine more if necessary) now you should know where the lives counter is in memory, just do a mm <new lives#> to set new lives number and you're done.

new commands :

• ms [memory search]
• mr [memory search refine]
• p [print found memory locations]

The search is made in free ram (0x500-0x97FF)

Hope you'll like it :)

Let me find a way to make it work correctly

@all: Let's test the new addition :)

Well, it works for me! IMHO it's useful and nice. Maybe possible improvement: no need to repeat typing 'mp' to see next page with results but just press enter (i.e. like commands 'd' or 'm').

This was working before you asked me to go back to 'mp' command. Will try to find a hack for that

Done! Now everything works!

FYI : Just finished Xenon1, and funny thing, the live counter is at the same memory place as Zorgon's revenge ! Attaching a memory watch to it and removing the decrease operation gave me infinite lives, love it :) Glad you like it

Well, done! My changes are the same in detail but bit more 'user friendly' for feature updates ;).
