╘HE ├HARSNOOPER IS A LITTLE HACK FOR THE 64 WRITTEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF STEALING CHARACTER SETS FROM GAMES AND OTHER PROGRAMS.
╘O STEAL A CHARACTER SET, LOAD AND RUN THE GAME YOU WANT TO STEAL FROM. ╘HEN RESET THE COMPUTER AND LOAD THE ├HARSNOOPER IN 64 MODE USING THE COMMAND 'LOAD "5120*",8,1' THEN ACTIVATE IT USING THE COMMAND 'SYS 5120'.
┴S YOU SEE, THE STRANGE NAME HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO REMIND YOU OF THE EXECUTION ADDRESS. ╘HE EXECUTION ADDRESS HAS BEEN CHOSEN BECAUSE, AS THE CHARSNOOPER HAS TO BE LOADED SOMEWHERE, IT'S THE LEAST LIKELY PLACE FOR A CHARACTER SET TO RESIDE. ╘HE ╓╔├ CHIP CAN'T SEE COMPUTER ╥┴═ IN THAT AREA, ONLY THE DEFAULT ╥╧═ CHARACTER SET. ╘HE ├HARSNOOPER PROGRAM ITSELF IS IS 1023 BYTES LONG.
╧NCE THE PROGRAM IS STARTED, YOU'LL NOTICE THE MEMORY DISPLAY WINDOW IN THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SCREEN. ╫HAT YOU SEE IS THE MEMORY SPACE OF AN ENTIRE CHARACTER SET, 2048 BYTES. ╬OW, YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE NOTHING BUT GARBAGE. ╨RESS ╞1/╞2 TO SHUFFLE THE DISPLAY AROUND TO VIEW THE ENTIRE COMPUTER ╥┴═. ┼VEN ╥┴═ UNDER ╥╧═ & ╔/╧ WILL BE DISPLAYED. ╫ITH A LITTLE LUCK, A CHARACTER SET WILL SHOW UP IN ONE OF THE 2048 BYTE AREAS. ╔F A CHARACTER SET DO APPEAR AS SOON AS THE ├HARSNOOPER IS STARTED, YOU SHOULD SAVE IT ┴╘ ╧╬├┼ IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT. ╘HE FIRST MEMORY AREA IS USED AS A BUFFER AND WILL BE OVERWRITTEN AS SOON AS YOU MOVE TO ANOTHER MEMORY AREA.
┘OU CAN NOW SAVE THE CHARACTER SET TO DISK. ╔F YOU WISH TO USE THE CHARACTER SET IN YOUR OWN PROGRAMS, THE RELOAD ADDRESS MIGHT BE IMPORTANT. ╞3/╞4 WILL LET YOU CHANGE THE RELOAD ADDRESS IN 256 BYTE STEPS.
┘OU MAY WANT TO SAVE ONLY PART OF THE CHARACTER SET DISPLAYED, ESPECIALLY IF SOME ON THE MEMORY AREA IS JUST GARBAGE ANYWAY. ╧N DEFAULT, THE WHOLE MEMORY AREA AS YOU SEE IT WILL BE SAVED; FROM SCREENCODE 0 THROUGH 255. ┬Y PRESSING ╞5/╞6 YOU MAY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CHARACTERS YOU WANT TO SAVE IN 32 CHARACTER STEPS. ┼ACH LINE OF DISPLAY IS 32 CHARACTERS, SO EACH TIME YOU PRESS ╞5/╞6 REPRESENT ONE WHOLE LINE. ┘OU'LL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SAVE A CHARACTER SET WHERE THE END CHARACTER IS LOWER THAN THE START CHARACTER.
╬OW, PRESS ╞7 TO SAVE THE CHARACTER SET. ╘O ABORT, PRESS ╥╒╬/╙╘╧╨. ┼NTER A NAME, AND PRESS RETURN.
╔F YOU WANT TO WATCH PREVIOUSLY SAVED CHARACTER SET, YOU CAN LOAD IT BY PRESSING ╞8. ┼NTER A NAME, AND PRESS RETURN. ╘O ABORT, PRESS ╥╒╬/╙╘╧╨.
╘O EXIT THE PROGRAM, PRESS ╙╚╔╞╘/╤. ╘HIS WILL RESET THE COMPUTER.
