Have been messing around with Dolphin's debugger today and already spent half an hour trying to encode simple instruction (namely, shift register r3 left by one bit), without success so far. IBM's docs list bit-by-bit structure of instructions, but it is a pretty hard format to manually work with.
Is there some tool that can help with encoding single PPC instructions from their mnemonic form into 4-byte hex that Dolphin accepts? I guess C compiler for PPC targetĀ + disassembler may do, but it is a huge overkill for encoding a single instruction. Also, support for input of instructions in their mnemonic form would be anĀ amazing addition to Dolphin's debugger.
