Advanced testing tool

Hi all,

Does any of you know of any tool providing accurate and detailed information about an instance of a program being executed on a system? I mean, I'd like to test my code efficiency by checking accurately its CPU/memory usage (more than that Windows "task manager").

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about running your emulator on windows or running any code on the NES (this would be slighty different !) ?

If you're looking for something to profile your emulator on Windows, you could try the demos of the following programs:

Glowcode: www.glowcode.com
VTune: www.intel.com/software/products/vtune/

I've only used them once or twice a long time ago, so I can't really help you with them too much, but they should have good enough documentation. They'll take a little bit of work to get working, but they're worth it for the information they can provide.

Yeah Tom, that's what I was lookin' for. Thanks a lot!
