GDB Stub Plugin

The GDB stub plugin acts as a remote debugging server for the GNU debugger (GDB). This allows you to connect to MAME and debug supported systems using GDB. The plugin listens for connections on port 2159 on the IPv4 loopback address (127.0.0.1). Only Intel 80386 (i386) family processors are supported.

See the :ref:debugger option <mame-commandline-debugger> for another GDB remote debugging implementation with support for more CPUs and configurable listening ports.
