1. 1. Introduction

■ What is SS Monitor?

"SS Monitor" supports a dynamic data communication protocol between application targets (DevSaturn) via the "CartDev" system.
By using an application that supports this communication protocol, users can treat "Sega Saturn" as if it were an external device of a PC.

■ About SS Viewer

When "SS Monitor" starts, it executes the general-purpose viewer program "SS Viewer".
The SSSDK graphic tool realizes the display function to the target by transferring data (or commands) to the reserved memory map of "SS Viewer" by inter-application communication.

"SS Viewer" supports the following display functions.

1. 3D object
2. 3D animation
3. Normal scroll
4. Rotation scroll (3 axes)
5. bitmap

■ About SS Debug

"SS Debug" gives you more control over the target system instead of running "SS Viewer" at startup. If you want to use a user-customized display program other than "SS Viewer" for development, we recommend using "SS Debug".

caution	Please note that "SS Debug" cannot be used directly with the SS SDK graphic tool.

■ Troubleshooting

● Runaway of "SS Viewer"

If "SS Viewer" stops responding to the SS SDK graphic tool, you can restart it by following the steps below.

1. "Control"-> "Reset"
2. "File"-> "Monitor load"
3. "Control"-> "Viewer Execution"
