Parameter Extensions for Freezer

Scene Stealer

Name Scene StealerElysium Crueler Screenshot
Author Datel
Year 1988
Compatibility Action Replay v5 and v6 only
Known as e.ss
Note Scene Stealer was delivered with the Action Replay Graphics Disk and is able to save certain graphic screens to disk as executable program. The supplied demo maker is able to load the stolen scene and save it with more 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.

Year ????
Compatibility v2.0: Action Replay v5 and v6 only
v2.0+: Action Replay, Nordic Power, Retro Replay, 1541 Ultimate
Note The patched version works using any Replay compatible with at least 8k ram - it is assumed a proper speeder is in place then.
The Replay RAM is not used.

Action Replay Cruncher v1.2

Based on Darksqueezer
Action Replay Cruncher Screenshot
Author Ewen Gillies/Shinjitsu Software

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.
