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.
The actual files to load into your freezer using the Parameter ... write more If you have a missing extension hidden on some disk or find there is something missing here, please contact us!
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. |

| Name | Action RMS v2.0 and v1.0 |  |

| Author | Moog | |
