	I think you all are missing the point of action replay here.  I had one
for the old C-64, and the porpose of this one is probably the same as that one:
it lets you rip software out of memory.  The old C-64 one was used primarily
by pirates, and this one is probably targeted at the same audience.  I got my
old one because of the fastload feature, but i noticed that the built-in
monitor, sprite editor, freezer, and dumper-packer were all basically pirate
tools.  This one looks about the same (I.E. it has a module ripper).
