[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Dumping memory

Your message brings back a lot of fond memories of those days of hacking games.
We did something like what you described, modifying the OS and dumping the
memory out. But we've gone one step further and installed a small hardware add
on that basically consisted of a ram chip mapped to the same address as the
hardware registers. Each time the program writes to the hardware registers
would at the same time write to the ram chip. It was then simple to find out
how a program sets up the interrupts and P/M and such.
