New Super Snapshots, with ethernet, are currently in development. Prototypes are existing - ask someone here for the link (Magervalp?). Or is it the crt-image you were looking for? |

Discussion and pics of the prototype can be found at http://retrohackers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=301
ROM images aren't too hard to find.

I am new to this PC version of the 64 scene. Is someone building a new form of Super Snapshot? What is an ethernet? |

Yes, as far as I have understood it, dW is building a Super Snapshot-clone with a micro-SD card and an ethernet-adaptor. This will allow you to use a Super Snapshot (or possibly also an Action Replay) with the same features as an MMC64 and a RR-Net.
Search the forum for some more information about the last two devices. |

@TheShadow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet
In short, you can hook up your C64 onto a computer network (your home network, Internet)
Nothing new because you can also do that with RetroReplay+RR-net card.
It's a blessing when you want to transfer a lot of disks.

Seems very promising, want at least one of those,too but AR-Rom has to be usable, otherwise it is kind of useless to me.

dW is trying to fit AR6 compatibility in the hw, but there are no promises. However, you get reconfigurable F-keys (so make them like AR6 if you want), a fastloader, and a monitor that matches (and even supercedes) AR6 features. You'll also get UDPslave, WarpCopy, and built in Turbo Assembler. Last but not least you'll be able to load stuff from micro-SD. I don't see how anyone can complain :)

"useless" was not the correct word I guess, as it is a pretty neat device, I will for sure get one, but as I already have rr+rrnet and am an AR user for ages now it is not as usefull as it could be, just in my case though.
1000 thumbs up for this cool thingie, I didn't want to rag it down, sorry if it sounded like that.

Being an FC3 guy, I just don't understand why people are so fond of the AR6 :) I just care about features (and the SSv5 has that in spades), and decent F-keys (and dW are making them configurable).
F7-F5-F3 FTW!

Load turbotape games \o/ Edit sprites and charsets in the monitor. And according to the advertisements the desktop turns the c64 into an amiga(almost) |

Don't you forget the Notepad (word-processing on your C-64) and the handy DLINK-option making it possible to develop f.ex spreadsheet software for your desktop environment.
Seriously though, I really hate the fact that the AR uses white all over, that the monitor lacks EC and more commands. The spriteeditor is pretty worthless since it screws up after one sprite.
The problem with Count Zeros development of the Retro Replay is that he tried to make too big steps at a time. I'd be happy if he just could have removed the annoying usage of white, flushed the outright useless parts out of the freezer and added EC to the monitor. |

what can dlink, and EC do more closely? I liked the white thing as it increased readability, and I used myself white even before getting an AR. The desktop thingie is cute, but never found it useful, I prefered the type saving short AR commands all over the place. Turbo tape was probably useful for some weird UK types, but int the happier places in the world including behind the iron curtain, ppl had disk drives ;) |

EC == Edit Char in monitor..
So like m1000 1008, you can command EC 1000 1008, which will show the memory contents as bits.
ec1000 .**.***.
ec1001 .***.***
etc
ES does the same, but 3 bytes in one row (sprite). Too bad ES always forgets to _not_ display byte 63 ;) (or 64 depending on how you count) |

nice for a fast hack, but true geeks can draw a charset by entering bytes in hex/dec ;) |

I really like the charset monitor in Super Snapshot v5, useful for hacking chars and modifying charsets... |

Well the point here is that SSv5 does everything AR6 does, plus it has things like REU support in the monitor.
