"you need a Boch plugin to run this code. This plugin is not shipped with VMs built by Jenkins server. Not sure about Eliot's builds."
Running this image on the latest Cog build, which has Bochs, which you can see from the screen shots, is an advance. The simulator appears, but the whole image is frozen. Until it throws an error, as seen in screen2.png, the only living thing is the scrolling output in the bottom left pane.
Of course, none of this may be a problem. I use the 2.7 InterpreterSimulatorLSB, where the simulated image runs, while the host image, the one with the vm is frozen. My solution is to plant a 'self halt' in Interpreter>>primtiveSomeInstance. Then I evaluate SystemTracer allInstances. Bang. The simulated image goes up in a puff of smoke leaving a debugger in the host image, which is pure gold. I can explore the values in the ObjectMemory and such. I imagine I could do something similar here.
