Re: Question on tape dumping

So long as the copies are identical I would follow Steve's suggestion. Just be careful that the tape is not like Planet Invasion or Donkey King where there are differences between the two or three programs recorded on each side of the tape.

Re: Finally, The Dragon Composer!

The only picture I can see on the wiki page is the photo of the cassette, though I can see the screenshots if I go to the file pages (incidentally the loading screen - http://archive.worldofdragon.org/index.php?title=File:DragonComposer_Screenshot02.gif - appears corrupt). "DragonComposer.jpg" does ...

Re: Auctioning my Dragon 32k on ebay

Do you have any DRAGON TEXT BOOKS? And I need an ASSEMBLER type program. Was wondering if you might have such a program? If you haven't already done so, you may wish to download the MC6809 Microprocessor Instruction Set Summary , there are also manuals for ALLDREAM in the manual downloads section a...

Re: Got it all back - at last

The Total Eclipse universe map is procedurally generated from a random seed - the result being that the map doesn't actually exist as such. If the random number generator in your (assumedly) emulated computer is any different from the one in a real Dragon then the universe will be different. The ea...

Re: Got it all back - at last

The Golf title is the Salamander Software one. The Salamander version is in the archive. As for the total eclipse problems, until I can get the tape transferred to wav or cas format I really don't know. The original tape is missing (which suggests I have yet another box of treasures left somewhere)...

Re: Got it all back - at last

After a quick check against the .CAS archive page I have highlighted in red everything that does not appear there and thus requires further investigation (as this does not mean that they are not in the archive because it is possible they may have been uploaded and can be found in the Uploads section...

Re: Adventure Trilogy appears to be incomplete

Yes, with the wave file I've also managed to reach the 3D maze, although I've not been able to get past the first room so I cannot do any further testing. Anyway, taking the second recording in the wave file I've managed to produce a .CAS file that loads in two different versions of XRoar (see the a...

Re: Adventure Trilogy appears to be incomplete

Thanks for the scan of the instructions, at least I now know that typing F (for fireball) more than twice is futile. The wav that I uploaded was the cleanest copy on the tape (recorded twice on both sides) which is from an original Dragon Data cassette. The wav is complete but I had only checked the...

Adventure Trilogy appears to be incomplete

Adventure Trilogy (198x)(Dragon Data Ltd)[!].zip appears to be incomplete. The game attempts to load another program after the first part is completed and this fails because I don't think the .CAS file contains more than one program. Also, how are you supposed to complete the first task? So far any...
