Cartridges?
Hi, what cartridges do you use on your original C64?.
And is it possible to update an action replay?, i have version 4.2, but have downloaded roms to version 7.5 to use in emulators.
Thanks James. |

The easiest way to use different roms is to get a retro replay and flash the one you like most. |

anything after ar6 is just a polish jack rom, and not real, and MISSES features rather than giving any new ones... I suggest not using these rom images at all, as they are also quite buggy.

The Action Replay MK VI has an LSI-Custom-Chip and isn't 'flashable' or 'updatable' 'cause afaik it's a ROM.
But the Version PITCHER has is based on an EPROM. Should be possible to upgrade this one.
I did a scan of my 4.2 to explain what to do.
Look at http://home.arcor.de/tub64/c64/ar42.jpg
burn an EPROM wich fits in this socket and *works*

Yes have took the case of it and it has a removeable eprom by the looks of it, although it does look different to the scan you have done. |

Get yourself a Retro Replay and you can flash new ROM contents as often as you want.

While I've no clue if you can still purchase one of these carts, there is a website to visit and prolly some phone calls will be made.
http://rr.c64.org/
What I did was clicked on INTRO on the left. Then under "THE NEW HARDWARE", click "HERE" and all the ordering info came up. According to the site, shipping started in October of 2001, so I hope the information will still provide you with a way to order one of these fascinating carts.
