What's New

New Features

RAM byte-sequence search — debug_memory.searchBytes scans a range of RAM for a given sequence of bytes, making it easy to locate routines, data structures, or magic values at runtime without manual stepping.
VRAM byte-sequence search — debug_vdp.searchBytes does the same across Video RAM, useful for finding sprite tables, tile patterns, or screen data that has been loaded into VRAM.

Windows: broken server startup fixed — The MCP server was computing resource paths using new URL(import.meta.url).pathname, which produced broken double-drive-letter paths (C:\\C:\\...) on Windows. Now correctly uses fileURLToPath() from node:url.
Windows: invalid filename removed — CLOAD?.md has been renamed to CLOAD_Q.md so the repository can be cloned normally on Windows (NTFS forbids ? in filenames). The canonical CLOAD? name is preserved in all MCP URIs and the RAG index; the ? → _Q mapping is handled transparently at runtime.
Windows: platform-aware executable default — OPENMSX_EXECUTABLE now defaults to openmsx.exe on Windows and openmsx on Linux/macOS.
Cross-platform: safer process termination — emu_close now uses kill() without arguments (cross-platform safe) instead of kill('SIGTERM'), which behaves differently across OSes.

Skill v1.2.1 — Restructured skill index with dedicated reference files per workflow, improved usage instructions, and added explicit guidance for HTTP transport, Codex setup, and Windows-specific configuration.
Windows setup documented — The skill now covers per-OS Node.js/npx installation, Codex mcp add registration, HTTP transport as a stdio fallback, and Windows path escaping in JSON configs.

Updated README to reflect cross-platform support — removed the outdated "requires Linux to be compiled" note.
OPENMSX_EXECUTABLE environment variable table updated with per-platform defaults and JSON escaping guidance.
