Breaking into the debugger

I'm trying to use the built in debugger in MAME to understand a data format.
What I would like to do is something like this:
if (mem_region == magic_value)
{
stop_execution and enter the built in debugger
}
Any suggestions on how this may be achieved ?

From driver/device code, you mean? There's a function you can call that will drop immediately into the debugger, I've used it a few times. Don't remember what it's called, but an expedition through src/emu/debug/*.h should find it.

Thanks for the tip!
debugger_break, in debugger.h
