Parameter Extensions for Replay based Freezers

Scene Stealer

Name Scene StealerScene Stealer Screenshot
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 v1/v2

Name Action RMS v1.0 and v2.0Action RMS Screenshot
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-SaverBitmap-Saver Screenshot

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.
