So let's say I'm debugging a SNES game with SNES9x and I come up with the following intruction:

LDA $00AF

So it means that BYTE at adress 00AF will be stored in A.
Before I can step into the next intruction, I'd like to know whats the byte value at 00AF, where can i see that?

You can step the debugger of course. And trace the code to see what writes to that address directly. Also,  a memory viewer would help if it has one.

Either one byte, or the 2-byte value at $AF and $B0, depending on whether the Accumulator is set to 8- or 16-bit mode.

Also, if the instruction is actually LDA $AF, it will actually be CPU address ($AF + register D ) in bank DB.
(I think so, only zero-page instructions use D?)

Geiger's has a memory viewer. I haven't used it in a while but it should be listed as a button like "hex editor", or "ram viewer" or something like that. Switch to WRAM. Assumedly, $00AF corresponds to a RAM location, though not necessarily. That would depend upon the value of the data bank register. The debugger should be able to tell you this before you step over the instruction. The line might look something like:

Code: [Select]

lda $00af [$7e0000]
or

Code: [Select]

lda $00af [$000000]
There's a possibility that it could be from rom, but I doubt it. That would only likely occur if the bank were in the ranges 0x40 to 0x7D or 0xC0 to 0xFF.
