- 1-INTRODUCTION
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This program was made to find lives in ZX Spectrum games
- using the file format Mirage/Snapshot.
-
- It allows you either to put infinite lives on them or just
- to change them to a certain value at any time during the
- play of the game.
-
- It was made using AMOS PRO 2.0.
-
- I have found lives in dozens of games using it.

- 5-HOW IT WORKS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Use LEFT AMIGA+A to multi task.
-
- How to save snapshots:
-
- Start playing a game and the moment you are in control of
- the player save that snapshot. Lose one life and the
- moment you are in control of the player save the snapshot.
-
- In some cases like DEEP and INFINITE trainer mode you
- still have to save a 3rd snapshot.
-
-
- Trainer Mode:
- NORMAL - You load two snapshots containing diferent
- number of lives. in LIVES1 select how many lives
- there is is in the 1st snapshot and in LIVES2 in
- the 2nd snapshot. Then press COMPARE and the
- possible address for the lives will be shown.
- You can then, at any time during game, change
- the lives up to 255. Notice, however, that some
- games crash if you put more than a certain
- number of lives.
-
- DEEP - If NORMAL Trainer didn't work then try this one.
- It works with 3 snapshots. You start the game,
- save a snapshot. Lose a life save another
- snapshot and then lose a life and save another.
-
- This will look for address that if in the 1st
- snapshot have a value X, in the 2nd X-1 and in
- the 3rd X-2. It list the possible addresses
- along with the value of that address (which is
- different from the number of lives)
-
- INFINITE- After you found the address containing the lives
- go here and press COMPARE. Then insert the
- address containing the lives and this will try
- to find all the addresses in memory pointing to
- that address.
-
- After you find the address, all you have to do
- is to point it to a ROM address so that lives
- never decrease (the game will try to decrease a
- value contained in a ROM address). Find the ROM
- address using the option VALUE AT ROM in the
- menu TOOLS.
-
-
- Menu TOOLS:
-
- Word Split - If you have more than 255 lives (or other
- thing) in the game use this to convert that
- to a low byte and a high byte and then search
- for the low byte as being the number of lives.
-
- Value at ROM - Use this for the INFINITE mode. Imagine you
- want an address at ROM whose value is 3.
- Just go here and it will find that address
- for you.
-
- Peek into - Displays the content of an address between
- 16384 and 65535.
