ZX Life Shield V1.0
30.Jan.98
1-INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program was made to find lives in ZX Spectrum games
using the file format Mirage/Snapshot.
It allows you either to put infinite lives on them or just
to change them to a certain value at any time during the
play of the game.
It was made using AMOS PRO 2.0.
I have found lives in dozens of games using it.

5-HOW IT WORKS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use LEFT AMIGA+A to multi task.
How to save snapshots:
Start playing a game and the moment you are in control of
the player save that snapshot. Lose one life and the
moment you are in control of the player save the snapshot.
In some cases like DEEP and INFINITE trainer mode you
still have to save a 3rd snapshot.
Trainer Mode:
NORMAL - You load two snapshots containing diferent
number of lives. in LIVES1 select how many lives
there is is in the 1st snapshot and in LIVES2 in
the 2nd snapshot. Then press COMPARE and the
possible address for the lives will be shown.
You can then, at any time during game, change
the lives up to 255. Notice, however, that some
games crash if you put more than a certain
number of lives.
DEEP - If NORMAL Trainer didn't work then try this one.
It works with 3 snapshots. You start the game,
save a snapshot. Lose a life save another
snapshot and then lose a life and save another.
This will look for address that if in the 1st
snapshot have a value X, in the 2nd X-1 and in
the 3rd X-2. It list the possible addresses
along with the value of that address (which is
different from the number of lives)
INFINITE- After you found the address containing the lives
go here and press COMPARE. Then insert the
address containing the lives and this will try
to find all the addresses in memory pointing to
that address.
After you find the address, all you have to do
is to point it to a ROM address so that lives
never decrease (the game will try to decrease a
value contained in a ROM address). Find the ROM
address using the option VALUE AT ROM in the
menu TOOLS.
Menu TOOLS:
Word Split - If you have more than 255 lives (or other
thing) in the game use this to convert that
to a low byte and a high byte and then search
for the low byte as being the number of lives.
Value at ROM - Use this for the INFINITE mode. Imagine you
want an address at ROM whose value is 3.
Just go here and it will find that address
for you.
Peek into - Displays the content of an address between
16384 and 65535.
