Title: Recommended disassembling, debugging, hacking tools for NeXT
Post by: pTeK on April 27, 2022, 05:05:34 AM
Hi.

 Was wondering what tools developers used to rip apart NeXT apps? Apart from "gdb". I see on ftp.nice.ch there is NibList.0.9.s, MachoViewer, Hex editors.

 These are for use on the previous emulator. I'm used to using Action Replay cartridge, and ReSource (A disassembler) on the amiga. A tool like SnoopDOS (It would tell you what lib files it is opening, and what files it is accessing) would also be nice.

 Thanks

Maybe the most obvious option is the system-provided otool. Earlier versions of the OS X otool (I think at least up to 10.9, but I'd have to check) were actually able to analyze and disassemble 68k binaries, but this code has unfortunately suffered from bit rot.
