Amiga Action Replay MK III replica
Hi EAB,
I reverse engineered and rebuilt the Action Replay Mk III and made the project free available for anyone who wants to make it. https://github.com/na103/ar3 |

Super cool! :-)
Did you manage to find a switch that fits the original case? My original one needs to have its switch replaced. |

Oh, this is interesting. I made my own freezer cartridge decades ago.
I didn't own an ARIII until later, but I got these chip info from Churchy back in 1998: Quote:

Very very nice work. I would take one as a replacement. I own an MK3 but this is my third in the last few years. The other both died suddenly.
It would be really nice if they could be software upgraded. They only works with Kick1.3. If thry could work with 3.1 and 3.2 too that would be awesome. |

maybe someone can grab/beg hoffman's attention?, he likes 'hack' projects for his twitch streams and i think? he uses an action replay of some sort as well, would be weirdly meta for him to try and hack the very thing he hacks with. |

I wonder if ARPRO (zoned) is really this same code as AR IV and whether parts of it can be back ported to AR3 HW. :-) |

The FCB's are 8KB SRAM chips 27C is rom 555 is a timer, most likely used for the slow down function. Last edited by hooverphonique; Yesterday at 10:25. |

At some point, Datel used other EPROMs (likely for cost reduction) such as the AT27C010 and NM27C010V OTP EPROMs. Images from the Big Book of Amiga Hardware. Last edited by demoniac; Yesterday at 20:13. |
