1530USB Datasette to PC Adapter / Re: Share your results
« on: September 16, 2019, 09:58:12 PM »
Hi. The 1530USB adapter works very well. ;)
I used FCopyTape to Disk Backup V3.0 in WinVice to copy Multiplan from .d64 to .tap, I recorded it on a real C16 tape with AudioTap and then in C64 also with FCopyTape to Disk Backup V3.0 I recorded it on a real disk without problems: the datassette has paused correctly while the 1541 was recording the disc.
I tried with some more games but it didn't work, I guess for the protection. I will try with other copy programs.

Yes, you're right, I already read  about ZoomFloppy, but my 1541 is modified to work under SpeedDos and I am not sure that it will be supported (at the part of the C64 there's a switch to enable or disable this and be able to use the cassette) In addition, I just adquire  the C64, the disk drive and the Datassette and I have exceeded the budget.
For now it is enough for me copy from tape as in the eighties although I recognize that it is a bit of a tedious... but it's more authentic. ;)
Is just  to be sure I could copy like this without problems.
I buy one then. Thanks

I am trying to pass programs from tape to disk.
Now I use a Datassette and a mobile with TapDancer: a "car tape" inside the datassette and is connected to the headphone output of the phone.
It is great to load the games but when trying to copy to disk with  copy utilities  such as fcopyTapeToDisk, SpectacularCopy, etc. (which work perfectly on winvice) read from the tape and at any given time pause the datassette and start recording the part read on the disk . The problem is that the mobile has no way of knowing this and continues to play (and pausing it by hand does not work as fast as the hand is  ;))

The question is whether I can use 1530USB to record the .tap or .t64 on a tape in the datassette. Then in the real Commodore, using these copy utilities, the datassette could make the corresponding pauses at the end of each section read. Also, since the datassette that will read the file recorded on tape later is the same as the one recorded it, I would have less trouble reading it, I think.
Someone has tried?
sorry for my horrible english
