- Retro Replay
For C64 and C128
- PAL and NTSC models
This clone of the legendary "Action Replay" cartridge has been
developed together with members of the active C64 scene. We're proud to
present new hardware for the Commodore 64 in the 21st century! Technical
data in detail:
the read $de00 bug has been removed
the freeze-logik has been re-developed "from scratch" and it's much more
secure than any other freezer before
The buttons are of much higher quality than those of the original-AR
the Freeze-key is digitally softened (no lockup on freeze)
Software-switchable IO-area, so a REU can be used at the same time.
(direct support for REU is planned for Beta 4 of the driver software)
FlashROM is programmable from C64 without additional equipment
Two different ROMs can be used and selected with a hot-pluggable jumper.
(Think of one being PAL and the other one NTSC, or having other
different ROM versions on the same cart.)
32K RAM and 128K for ROM allow adding lots of features to the software
The new board fits into many existing covers (shipped without cover!)
Expansionport on the cartridge allows conneting the RS232-Interface
"Silversurfer" (theoretically up to 460800 Baud, 16 Byte Fifo)
Turbo Assembler Makro in the flash (huge updates coming soon)!
Sprite & Char editor in freeze-mode (planned for beta4)
Graphics-ripper for Koala, Bitmap, (I)FLI and more
Gold plated contacts, mainboard in cool black!
The software is frequently updated by freeware programmers. Patches for the
most popular terminal programs Novaterm and Desterm are already available, so
a Silversurfer that is connected to the Retro Replay can be used.
The production quantity was strictly limited to 300 units at first. High damend made us continu production. At a sales price of only
50,- EUR, we don't expect high profits. Instead, we decided to sponsor an 8-bit
party that will take place in Bochum, Germany, after the whole production run
has been sold. The party will be organized by the group "Cyberpunx"
that did a large part in realizing this project. Take a look at their
Retro Replay site, or check the website of the party!
