Debug4x allows debugging Saturn code for 48-50g targets. MASD on the 50g has some debugging features as well, but I prefer the Debug4x environment for this type of thing. Of course, that's yet another compiler with a different syntax expectation than MASD, so more translation would be needed.

@cahlucas: As Joe has said, placing the source code somewhere that we can access will make it easier to assist, though if the program is as big as it sounds, it may be more of an undertaking that most would want to take on.

Besides the actual syntactical issues, the O/S environment as a whole is different between the platforms. In particular, ROM routines and data constants are sometimes in entirely different locations (if they even still exist). This means that Saturn code written for one platform won't necessarily run successfully on the other.

What is this program/suite supposed to do? Are you certain that there's no other programs available that might provide a starting point you could build upon?
