Tapecart SD / Re: Convert PRG to TCRT

Hi Ben.

I fixed the download link.Give it another try.
You can make a bundle of your favourite games with this little utility.Example.
Keep in mind,it is only good for single load games.Multi load games need some coding magic.

Don't forget to check the connector for any flat pins.

That's great news mate.I can mark this topic as solved.

Let me give a warning to the future readers.

If you buy a New Old Stock datasette,don't ever touch the azimuth setting!!!

The NOS datasette came in.

So far so good. It loads my Excaliba copy just fine.

Doing test runs with some of the tap images I have been using seem to be working fine as well.

Oddly enough, the tape that I recorded using my Eiki recorder didn't actually work in the NOS datasette, so this one must be way more sensitive than the Commodore one.

At least I can confirm that your adapter does work just fine with a Data-Master model 5500.

Edit:

I readjusted my 1530 to be able to read the NOS datasette recorded tape. It appears to be working ok, so I think I have my solution.

If the datasette had slow downs during the recording,outcome should be shorter than the original.

I used the same tap file that produced the wav that I posted before. Maybe that's a clue. There has been a couple of times that my datasette has slowed or stopped when rewinding while powered by the adapter, but it doesn't happen consistently (and not at all when powered by my Commodore 128)

I do have another datasette (that hopefully works this time) that I'm going to try. If it does, I'll use that one for recording and the one I'm using now for playback since that part seems to work just fine.

I also did the same.Here is my backup file.

Yours has so much noise at the begining at the end,in between.
It can be the datasette,creased tape or your PC.For example if you run winvice while recording,it creates noise.

One thing I couldn't understand,yours is 4 minutes and 28 seconds long,the one you posted before is 4.20.Did you clean that TAP?
Can you post the TAP file you used so I can try recording that.
