Parameter Extensions for Replay based Freezers
General usage
All of the extensions listed below really go by the full name of parameter extension. First good sign for such an extension program is the filename being like e.filename. Parameter extensions come with a start address of $0a00 and can therefore be rather easily detected. Most of them will work up to a certain point even when starting them with sys $0a00/sys 2560. More details can be found on extension programming.

Scene Stealer
| Name | Scene Stealer |  |
|---|---|---|
| Author | Datel | |
| Year | 1988 | |
| Compatibility | Action Replay v5 and v6 only | |
| Known as | e.ss e.scene stealer | |
| Note | Scene Stealer was delivered with the Action Replay Graphics Disk and is able to save graphic screens and charsets to disk as executable program. The supplied demo maker is able to load the stolen scenes and charsets and save it with additional modifications. The Scene Stealer extension could be fixed to work with Replay based extensions but requires some more attention for this to work out as it not only utilises some obscure table for managing the IO switching but also directly jumps into the cartridge ROM for a filename requester ($8057, $9018 - yieks). No nice programming here and it seems that Scene Stealer might have been assembled in parallel to the Action Replay ROM to share variables and tables. |
Action RMS v2.0, v1.0
| Name | Action RMS v2.0 and v1.0 |  |
|---|---|---|
| Author | Moog | |
| Year | 199? | |
| Compatibility | Action Replay, Nordic Power, Retro Replay, 1541 Ultimate | |
| Known as | e.arms v2.0 e.arms v1.0 | |
| Note | Action RMS searches the memory for music player patterns and displays start address and identified music routine. It does NOT save the music! :) |
Bitmap-Saver
| Name | Bitmap-Saver |  |
|---|---|---|
| Author | TSD/Anubis | |
| Year | 199? | |
| Compatibility | Action Replay, Nordic Power, Retro Replay, 1541 Ultimate | |
| Known as | e.bitmap-saver | |
| Note | Saveland on the CyberpunX Replay freezer handles the same task. The current freeze state is not taken as a preset when starting the extension. Setting options on the menu, testing them and changing them back in the menu is quite unintuitive as well. |
Bmp Saver v0.1
| Name | Bmp Saver v0.1 |  |
|---|---|---|
| Author | Reiter/Apidya | |
| Year | 1998 | |
| Compatibility | Action Replay, Nordic Power, Retro Replay, 1541 Ultimate | |
| Known as | e.bmp saver | |
| Note | Saveland on the CyberpunX Replay freezer handles the same task. The current freeze state is not taken as a preset when starting the extension. Setting options on the menu, testing them and changing them back in the menu is quite unintuitive as well. |
Byte Searcher
| Name | Byte Searcher |  |
|---|---|---|
| Author | TSD/Axelerate/Anubis | |

| Year | 199? | |
| Compatibility | Action Replay, Nordic Power, Retro Replay, 1541 Ultimate | |

| Year | 1993 | |

| Year | 1994 | |
| Compatibility | Action Replay v4 only! - v4.0_5.0 best | |

VIP 3.2
| Name | VIP v3.2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Author | Kulfon/Medium Moonchild/Hitmen | |
| Year | ???? | |
| Compatibility | Action Replay, Nordic Power | |

|---|---|---|
| Author | Ewen Gillies/Shinjitsu Software | |
| Year | 1997 | |
| Compatibility | Any fastloader that can load save under ROM is required. | |
| Note | The extended Replay RAM is not used and not being checked for. Also the load/save vectors remain untouched, so any proper speeder should make this operational. |
