Recording difficulties [SOLVED]
scyllinice:
Hello,
My 1530 USB adapter came in a couple of days ago (thanks!) and I've spent my Saturday trying to get a tape to successfully record.
My datasette is in good shape. It can load tapes recorded on a Eiki tape recorder just fine.
I've tried different volumes (from 75 to 80 as directed). I've even tried 100 and upping the recording frequency to 96000.
What happens is that every time I try to load the tape, I either get a load error, the loading crashes the machine or the loading freezes.
The same TAP file can be recorded using the aforementioned Eiki tape recorder and it loads up just fine.
Any ideas on what else I can try?
Remzi:
I guess you have the version 2.
Give it another try with these instructions
Don't use your PC while recording.Even browsing the web might cause interference.
scyllinice:
I'll give it a shot. The slip of paper included pointed to the instructions that said not to tick the inverted waveform box.
It can't get any worse than not working I guess :)
scyllinice:
Inverting the waveform just made it so nothing is detected at all. It's got to be something else.
Remzi:
In that case it is version 1.
Are you using a USB hub or extension cord any chance?It has to be connected directly to a USB 2 port.
Record this program to tape and back it up.See if it runs on emulator.
