Jun 1, 2025June 2025: PCSX2/pcsx2 focused on debugger stability. Implemented a fix to keep the debugging session alive even when no frames have been processed by removing the frame-count check in isAlive and relying on the existence of a valid VM. This reduces premature termination and improves developer workflow. Commit: 1094222d3f33e18ff529243f382ca7e96061bc9c (Debugger: Don't check frame count in isAlive).

Mar 1, 2025Month: 2025-03. Delivered a focused IOP debugging enhancement for PCSX2/pcsx2, enabling ROM read access within the IOP address space. The change adds a new isValidAddress check to permit ROM range 0x1FC00000 to 0x20000000, enabling read access to ROM contents for debugging scenarios. Implemented as part of ongoing improvements to debugging workflows in the PCSX2 project, with a targeted commit d373cb602db0ac756ac141494e03543c185fa471 ('IOP Debug: allow reading ROM'). This work supports faster issue reproduction, more thorough validation of ROM-related code paths, and better developer productivity. The patch is small, well-scoped, and aligns with the project’s address-space validation patterns. Repos: PCSX2/pcsx2.
