What other cores have you tried?

It's a bit more complex in this case - I suspect I may have addressing mode issues, so in this case, I either have to maintain two address spaces, or trap the memory fetch/store requests from one core and compare it to the results in the other.

It's probably easier to maintain two address spaces, and then compare them after both instructions execute, but of course that's much slower. Alternatively, some sort of small table that has enough space to handle enough accesses for a full MOVEM instruction would work, and clear the table inbetween executed opcodes.

The reason that I suspect this is because I've tested the Generator core against a real 68040 - so either I'm running into flag differences between the 68040 and the 68000, or it's something that's not tested, which means branching, or addressing modes.
