C64 Action Replay: The Greatest Utility Cartridge Ever Made?

Описание: The Action Replay cartridge by Datel is legendary—but why? Today, I'm diving deep into why this is my all-time favorite Commodore 64 peripheral. From its "three-fold" utility as a fast loader, reset button, and the mighty "Freeze" tool, we explore how to maximize this hardware (or its virtual equivalent on the C64 Ultimate).

In this video, I’ll show you:

How to install Action Replay into your system's Flash memory.
The secrets of the "Freeze" button: Backing up games and creating one-part bootables.
Using the Poke Finder to get infinite lives in classics like Gyruss and Ms. Pac-Man.
Why "Configure Memory" is the secret to saving disk space.
A quick look at the physical hardware vs. the digital ROM.

Whether you're a retro veteran or a newcomer to the C64 scene, the Action Replay is a game-changer. Stick around and let's go to the MonroeWorld!
