While the Action Replay gets a lot of love on this channel, today we are taking a massive deep dive into the legendary Super Snapshot V5 cartridge for the Commodore 64.
From its blazing-fast Turbo DOS wedge to its unique Game Master toolkit, we test out where this hardware truly shines—and where it falls a bit flat. Watch as we walk through real-world scenarios, including on-the-fly joystick port swapping, disabling sprite collisions, and forcing infinite lives—complete with hilarious graphical glitches.
We also dig into the extended BASIC commands, the powerful built-in machine language monitors, and how to utilize the companion disk's nibbler and parameter copiers.
Finally, stick around to see how to create auto-booting C64 disks!
