Aktion Replay PRO SOFTWARE
**************************
**************************
* MINI UPDATE 12.03.1994
**************************
AR-PRO did not stay resident at reset, due to the default settings used
in the pref, it did not use these at the reset.
You may experience problems when reading the included documentation,
when pressing the INSTRUCTIONS icon.
News and buggy updates
----------------------
I managed to fix a few bugs of mine, and also included some new options,
which will be explained, in this documentation.
It now works 100% on a4000/40, but with use of Multisync screens,
you may get problems , when exiting AR-PRO, as I doesn't return
screen mode at exit.
Aktion-replay will only work on computers running with
Operation System 3.0 (A1200 and up)
You can run Aktion-Replay on accelerated computers, but you need
at least OS 3.0.
A uninitalized Aktion Replay start with a preferences screen,
but when a Pref. is saved, AR-PRO will automatically start
without showing the menu screen.
If you want to change the settings in the preferences, you
can just add a "?" after the command name in the CLI, and
the preferences will be shown again.
If you see a the background changes GREEN (flashing),
then the AR-PRO software could not be installed.
Retry with a new address/location.(Default: $1a0000)
NEW commands.
-------------
IMODE :
*DEFAULT= 2
I never explained this command in the previous release,
but indeep it was included. so here comes the info.
Change "ENTERING" mode of activating AR-PRO, if needed.
0-> Left&Right Mouse Button + 'F' Key -+- ']' key disables AR-PRO
1-> '*' Key on Keypad -+- ']' key disables AR-PRO
2-> Right Mouse Button -+- ']' key disables AR-PRO
3-> Level 7 Interrupt -+- ']' key disables AR-PRO
DEEPMW :
*DEFAULT= DISABLE
Another feature is the Memwatcher which now got the option
of tracing interrupts also, but due to the speed of the
computer if running in DEEP trace mode, I made this
an option which is selectable.
If you try this while the Operating System is running,
and disable the option, the OS will still act a bit
like the TRACE mode is active.
So, use it only when needed.
ALLEXC :
*DEFAULT= DISABLE
You may want to temporary disable this option, which
activates all calls made which makes an exception.
such as, TRAP ,TRACE-MODE.
KICKROMADR:
*DEFAULT= $F80000
If you are running a Fake kickstart, using Zkick or kickrom,
and you want to use ROMAVOID, you must set this, IF
you are using a loaded kickstart, which is placed in $200000,
this can be done , writing this command.
currently, it only supports kickstarts in address $200000,
but that is nearly covering all emulations.
ROMAVOID:
*DEFAULT= DISABLED
If you are running a Fake kickstart, using Zkick or kickrom,
and you want to use ROMAVOID, you can select to skip
calls to the rom system, so the AR-PRO only, activates when
when its out of the ROM area.
CACHE :
*DEFAULT= kickstart defaults
You can at any time in Aktion replay disable all caching
by the processor.
The way to do this is:
0= DISABLE -- 1= ENABLE
CACHE 1000 Data Burst Enabled
CACHE 0100 Data Cache Enabled
CACHE 0010 Inst Burst Enabled
CACHE 0001 Inst Cache Enabled
All values can be mixed together.
this work for 020/030 computers only..
NOT A4000/40 COMPATIBLE YET!
*TS :
The TS command, has now been fixed to work proberly again.
and also added a feature which were missing in the other
versions of Aktion Replay.
You can specify at each start of TS, which starting address
to scan memory from, or it will take address 0 as default.
i.e.
TS 4 0 (scans from address 0)
TS 4 1234 (scans from address $1234)
Also improved the routines, so it shows you the address
scanning from, when started.
*M :
Updated the Memory show command ,so its possible to
view datas as Byte, Word, Longword.
i.e.
m.b 0 (show memory as Bytes)
m.w 0 (show memory as Words)
m.l 0 (show memory as Longwords)
If no extension is used, it will show memory as bytes.
F-Keys:
-------
S-F9 : (COMPARE Page 1 & Page 2)
Some people (like myself), uses the spare page for comparing
of memory, and shows a part of the memory using the 'M'
function for an example.
the basic idea for this function is:
it compares the characters on both pages, those which are
equal, will be replaced by a SPACE, and the rest will remain
on the screen.
S-F10 : (Switch between 15Mhz & 31Mhz)
Another option is now, that you can switch the screen mode
into VGA mode, so if needed, you can run the AR-PRO on
your S-VGA monitor.
Other changes:
--------------
I have added a screen page number to those to screen which is possible
to use. In the upper right corner, a Page number will be shown when
switching page.
