Can I ask a wee toolchain question? Are you building/debugging a NEX or a SNA? I'd like to use Z80n mnemonics (NEXTREG etc) in a SNA so it can be debugged, but sjasmplus won't do that 48 mode, conversely it won't SAVESNA in Next mode! I just wondered if you had a workaround (DEFB the Z80n opcodes?)

Just read your post again - I've never had issues debugging a SNA or NEX file. I use DeZog in Visual Studio Code to handle that, and ZEsarUX/CSpect as my emulators of choice.

Ah, thank you. I was just being a wally. I didn't realise you could specify a NEX file to be loaded in launch.json; I'm so used to using SNA with DeZog I never thought to try that, sorry! 🤦‍♂️ It's working now, but I did manage to upset ZEsarUX in new and exotic fashion along the way! 😎

Oh haha, yes I get that occasionally, and no problems.
