It's possible once the debugger is finished, though it'd be pretty low-priority.
Marking it as an enhancement for now (it's basically going to be the RAM tab, but instead of just viewing data, it will let you view and edit data).
I like the idea of having an editor. Some levels can be changed in certain games with some simple HEX edits. And having cheats will be helpful to get to certain areas quickly to check on tile replacement.
Shouldn't be too hard to implement. I'm working on the memory viewer tonight. Hopefully Qt will make this quick. Fwiw, I'm no stranger to hex editors (a hex editor was my first solo FOSS project). I'll update you guys as progress is made ;)
@shonumi Will it have the option to dump and reload memory for memory hacks like the one in that PEC PSX plugin? Dolphin and PPSSPP have memory editors also https://github.com/devinacker/bsnes-plus , VBA-M and FXEUX which has hex editor too. http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?MemoryWatch.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?HexEditor.html , https://sourceforge.net/projects/fceultra/ , http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?PPUViewer.html Desmume http://wiki.desmume.org/index.php?title=DeSmuME_Manual_for_the_Windows_port#Tools_.7C_View_Memory , https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-howto-cheating-in-games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_wu7Mh8v24 http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?RAMWatch.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?MemoryWatch.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?NameTableViewer.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?TraceLogger.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?Debugger.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?HexEditor.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?RAMSearch.html http://www.fceux.com/web/help/fceux.html?PPUViewer.html
Yes, memory dumping/loading is trivial.
Fwiw, you don't have to always post handfuls of links. I have a very solid idea on how this is going to work ;)
Great we have ascii and hex values now thanks. I don't know if that's not too much to ask but would it be doable to add some additional values to the debugger like EBCDIC, Unicode, Shift-JIS , EUC-JP , binary, signed, decimal , float and double? Different roms/games require different approaches.
Yes, that's all a bit too much :P
If someone wants to get that involved, it's best to dump the memory and edit it in a proper hex editor.
EDIT: Also, as you can see with the latest commit, the memory viewer is a bit rough in terms of proper text formating. Going to spend the weekend fixing it up in Qt.
The most useful would be EBCDIC, Unicode, Shift-JIS and EUC-JP because Japanese games use these formats for text and they are hard to modify with just hex editors. Perhaps a converter from these formats to hex is possible but I guess it's hard.
Something like http://www.wxhexeditor.org/ already handles those encodings fairly well though. Trying to implement a full-featured hex editor into GBE+ seems like feature creep to me. I'm going to keep it simple and straightforward. If the user has more advanced needs, they should turn to advanced programs dedicated for hex editing (wxHexEditor is really, really nice too). GBE+'s editor should be minimal, "quick and dirty", but gets most jobs done.

Does debuggers support memory breakpoints?
Not yet. The CLI debugger does. The core needs a way to expose CPU registers to the GUI. It's coming in the next few days, so keep your eyes open. Can't add everything at once after all :P
You are working on the debugger right now so I wonder if such features are feasible such editors would be very helpful for rom hacking and translating.
