Short: V1.83. RESET-patch,'protects' chip/fastmem,handle caches etc... Author: Alexis 'cyb' Nasr Uploader: nasr@hol.fr Version: 1.83 Type: mus/misc Requires: OS 2.04+ (v37+) Status: Giftware Replaces: mus/misc/ChipSaver18.lha This is a small update upload I had "forgotten" to do, since quite a long time :-)) Short Description of the functions: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Installs a Reset-patch that pops up a menu if you press RMB during reset. * The reset-menu has multiple functions: ->memory 'protection' by allocmem,preventing the trashing that 'd occur while booting normally.So,now,you'll be able to scan this data without problem. You can COPY Chip->Fast (or 1/2 Chip->1/2 Chip etc..) or 'PROTECT' (allocate) Chip,or Chip & Fast.... With also 'intelligent' copy functions,trying to decrease as much as possible the buffersize (scans for 'full' datazones :) ->'Nofastmem' function,*REALLY* disconnects your fast memory. ->Cachehandling option,with SEPARATED caches control (INST,BURST..) * BOOT function,useful alternative utile if the pathcode gets trashed in memory. This boot even tries to reactivate the patch(!!) if still useable. * Nice GUI for configuration: ->prefs ->Savebuffer(s) function,and also a 'ClearMemChunks' * The buffer is recognized by ExoticRipper & Prowizard.They scan it, hunting for mods.You can of course scan 'by hand' this imagebuffer if you look for something else...or even make the tool for it (?! ;-) * Bonus Program:RACS (Run After ChipSaver), by Solo. Nice'n'useful tool:put it in your startup,it will detect if a buffer is present.If so,it directly runs your favourite ripper on boot!
