MMIXVD: The MMIX Visual Debugger
Don't confuse MMIXVD, the MMIX Visual Debugger, with MMIXIDE which is
the corresponding IDE for the VMB Tools which you can find on the
Win32 Executables page.
To install the MMIX Visual Debugger, download
the file setupmmixvd-1-8.exe,
double click to run the setup and you should be up and running.
MMIXVD has a good online help, which you can preview
here. This should give you a first impression
of what you can expect.

Bugs
- First version:
There was a bug when starting mmixvd. It would complain about a registry
entry being too big. You can safely ignore this error. It happens when
a certain key is not found in the registry. This bug is fixed in
Version 1.6 Revision 1.44 as of Jan 30, 2015.
- Version 1.6
There was a bug when loading and/or storing, BYTE, WYDE, and TETRA values:
The alignment restrictions (rounding off to a multiple of two (WYDE) or
a multiple of four (TETRA)) were ignored. When loading a signed BYTE, WYDE,
or TETRA, there was no sign extension. These problems are fixed in version 1.8.
- Version 1.7
- Version 1.8
