Tapecart SD / Re: Setting up the Tapecart SD

It's not that easy I'm afraid.Game has to be disassembled and loading routines changed.
Check out this link for some examples.

There are way too many board designs for the tape decks.It will help if you post a picture of what you have.

There is an image for the Pi0 2W as well if you need it in future,

I couldn't find the datasette with that particular board.
I will search for the schematics but I can't promise.I don't have much spare time these days.

Recording MSX Games to Tapes:

Download castools and unzip it to your desktop.

http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~vincentd/download/castools-1.3.zip

Run the program MSXcastoolsUI.exe
Drag and drop the CAS file to it and convert it to WAV.
Play the WAV file with your audio player.Make sure volume is at maximum.Record it to tape.

Recording Spectrum Games to Tapes:

You can do the same with TZX files using WinTZX

Give it a good shake,fast forward to the end and rewind back.It usually does the trick.

Upgrading the firmware and the browser:

Developer Kim Jorgensen released a new update few days ago.


  Tapecart SD v1.4

    Support P00 files
    Treat extensionless files as PRG
    Convert filenames to PETSCII
    Add TCRT write support

https://github.com/KimJorgensen/tapecart/releases/tag/v1.4

If you'd like to go ahead and do this upgrade,you will need a USB to TTL serial adaptor.Search ebay for FT232RL

Make the connections as shown in the photo below,push gently so it makes a good connection.






You can use the software called Xloader to upload hex file to the Arduino.
Download Xloader

Use the settings

Duemilanove/Nano(Atmega328)
Baud rate: 57600
You can find the COM port number from Device manager/Ports Com-LPT

Other firmwares supporting the TAP file format:

XUM1541 / XUM1541 Setting up guide
« on: November 30, 2021, 09:46:56 PM »
I followed the setting up instructions at the following page and it worked at the first try.

http://www.anfarol.it/XUM1541/XUM1541_ENG.html

First of all,download the following PDF file and open it on another device (phone,tablet etc.)

http://www.anfarol.it/XUM1541/XUM1541_Setup_rev%201_1.pdf

Download the setup file and unzip it to your desktop.Move OpenCBM folder to Drive C:\ at root level.

http://www.anfarol.it/XUM1541/XUM1541_setup_1v2.zip

XUM1541 is developed by hobbyist.That is the reason windows drivers are not signed.
In order to install the drivers,you will need to disable driver signature enforcement.

Run the .BAT file called Signature_Off.Also open the PDF file/setup guide on the other device so you can follow the instructions.

After Windows restarted,go to
1.Troubleshoot
2.Advanced options
3.Start up settings,click restart
4.After the restart press 7 to disable it.

Go to OpenCBM folder,right click on the install.bat and run as administrator.

At this point follow the instruction on the SETUP PDF.

1530USB Datasette to PC Adapter / Re: Unable to Record to Tapes
« on: September 11, 2021, 11:17:42 AM »
Well now I'm confused as I thought all versions I had worked in Vice.  :o

Anywho here is the one I think I tried previously that I couldn't get working.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3op36ni11dubu72/The%20Sacred%20Armour%20Of%20Antiriad%20-%20Copy.tap?dl=0

It's one of the two.

I recorded this TAP to a tape and it loaded on the real hardware fine.I'm not sure what's wrong on your side.
It might be your PC somehow limiting the output or your datasette is well used and underperforming.
You can try pushing it to the limits.
1.Max out the USB speaker volume.
2.Go to Audiotap advanced options and set the output frequency to 96000Hz.


Try recording it again to tape.

That's fine mate.Please do post the links for the working and non working TAP files.
It does sound like some sort of tape copy protection.

Welcome back Chriz.What a surprise  :D

@Dabyx,please correct me if I'm wrong.
You downloaded a TAP file and recorded it over to original copy tape.
It doesn't load on the real hardware?

Tape is physically damaged any chance? Creased or badly worn out?
Have you tried recording it to another blank tape?

« on: July 28, 2021, 08:56:15 AM »
Thank you for joining the forum and leaving a feedback DABYX.
I'm glad you are happy with it.
Cleaning and optimizing is not a must do procedure.It just gives a piece of mind.
You can also try Tapex which has a more up to date,larger database of loaders,

https://csdb.dk/release/?id=196280

Are you backing up a mix tape with the Turbo loader program at the begining and the games followed,that you have to rewind the tape everytime you want to load a different game? Those games don't have a loader,raw data.Finaltap will give poor results for them.

I tried a few BT receivers and also found them unreliable.
Try increasing the volume.It might help.
There might be an interference with another bluetooth device or your wifi router.

Run the recorder justage program,if you see spots next to the lines,there is interference.
