I had some spare time this weekend, and i have been reading up on my Python.
So i set the goal for adding debugging support for SPU proccesor in ida, since the procs. is written in Python.

Download the package at the buttom and overwrite the files in ida dir.

You can edit the line in gdb_arch.cfg if you dont have ida in c:\ida

Code:
set QEMUPATH C:\ida\plugins\SpuDebug
to what ever you have.

You have to have Python installed correctly
see Release - Setting up Ida with Pyside and PyQt, it makes big difference. | Techbliss
for help.(there are finished packages there somewhere)

first set system environment setting

c:\ida

Turn Firewall off when debugging or pass it throug or it wont connect.

restart PC

We can now write custom anergistic to do spesific needs.
Remeber anergistic is basicly gdbserver in a shell.

Little more about the Dumper module
I use a custom version off Anergistic.

that works with patching my way throug a spu file.

when loaded any spu module it loads a spesial patcher module also.
