About DSDT fixing and debugging

Hello to all,
I'm reading the ACPI specification to try to fix my DSDT (Amilo D 7830) that
seems to be badly written
because there are several errors while comiling it with IASL (statements in
wrong place and poor control
methods definitions) but I've some questions about the DSDT functionality and
debugging.
a) Is there a debugger (something like gdb) or a sinulator to test the DSDT without
patching the kernel and load it?
b) Looking in the acpi log files (/proc/acpi) the cooling system reports <not
supported>, the
temperature stills on 75 C, and the processor state stills on C1 (12%). Can this
condition be fixed
throught the DSDT (eg. checking the _TZ notifies and the _AC methods)?

Thanks to all for the support and the great work...
