I can find my functions. However since it is a graphical application I try to test it gets a bit messy and ruins the screen. A dual-monitor set up with a monochrome monitor for debugging seems possible, but I am not sure if any emulator supports that? Back to my workaround with hardcoding some interrupt calls in the code I want to have breakpoints in for now.
