Level 7 interrupt button (especially for asm coders)

[z5]

hi!

For my website (A.D.A.), i try every possible way to capture screenshots from demos. I use Winuae but a lot of demos don't run on it.

There is a program on Aminet called Hrtmon. It's a kind of Action Replay but in software. You load it up, then start the demo, press the right mouse button, you search the copper en save any picture it finds.

There are 2 problems:
- a lot of demos give back garbage or only 3/4 screen or other problems when searching pictures and copper
- with a lot of demos, i can't get into the program with the right mouse button.

In the readme, there is talk about a level 7 interrupt button which you can attach to the trapdoor expansion slot. It should work a lot better than the right mouse button.

Is there anyone who can explain this a bit more. Would this button let me enter all demos? How big is the change that i can find correct screens in demos. (by the way, i allready managed to get screens that way).

Thanks for any help!

@Hardboy:

BTW. Keep up the good work with ADA. It´s a really nice archive. Is there any suggestions page?

Thanks. Any suggestions, just mail them to me (email at contact page on A.D.A.)

@all:
Thanks. I think  i will give this a try. Hrtmon manual says that i need pin 80,81 and 82 on my expansion slot. Also, Hrtmon manual says that the level 7 button will work with Asmone. Any tips on that? How should i go about this. Can any one help me a bit more as i don't know anything about assembler code. There really are a lot of fab demos that don't run on winuae like all the TBL demos (tint, glow, captured dreams,...), Gift, Closer,....

Thanks!

if i solder the level 7 interrupt button to the accelerator card (like a Phase 5 68030 or Apollo 68060) instead of the expansion port of the A1200, will this work also?
