The memory watch in Dolphin's debug mode has proven very useful. However, it could still use some more features to improve its usability
--Update the displayed values automatically. Updating every time they change is ideal, but simply updating every frame would also be perfectly fine.
--Support for displaying addresses as integers and as doubles. Currently, it only shows their values as floats.
--Support for setting the addresses to values that are floats or doubles. Currently, only integers can be entered.
These, especially the first one, would all make monitoring and manipulating the memory addresses much easier. Also, would it be possible to make the memory watch available outside of debug mode?
Similarly, the Cheat Search is a pretty useful way to find memory addresses. But it too could use some extra features.
--Allow searches based on float values. Currently 32-bit addresses must be searched as integers.
--Allow 64-bit searches. Specifically, allow searching for addresses that are doubles, and similarly allow searches based on double values.
--The ability to search for a range of values (eg, addresses with values between 5 and 10)
The ability to easily find and monitor memory addresses is very important for making TASes. Dolphin developers have been good about including TAS support in Dolphin, so I hope that these features can be implemented.
