From article <329@ucl-cs.UUCP>, by S.Usher@ucl-cs.UUCP: > The Cartridge has a button on it which, when pressed, stops whatever program > was running, saves the screen if it can, and drops you into a monitor/editor > program (which is in the ROM onboard). From here you can save anything to > disc (as long as you can fit it onto a disc). Yes. Except that nearly all recent programs mask the interrupt(s) generated by Multiface, so it is useless with all the recent programs I own (Populous, Archipelagos, DM, starglider II, etc...), which will ignore the press on the multiface button. (I borrowed a friend's multiface to test it). It is only useful with Falcon, which is stopped, and so you can save/restore a game anywhere (just before landing!)
