Re: repaired games from bad tapes

Thanks Rob, I only want to use CAS files. That's whole the problem really. :) with Cuthbert, i only tested the WAV after i noticed the CAS took 8 mins to load. then i saw the bad load screen. so i thought (wrongly) the extra load time might have something to do with the CAS conversion. As for Back T...

Re: repaired games from bad tapes

Hi Rob, can you take a look at this BAD wave and try to fix it?. :mrgreen: i don't know how to use your util correctly, i need the manual or a tutorial video. :cry: Back Track sample [maybe same as original]. after a failed attempt, the saved code (first few blocks) looked identical to this CAS copy.

Re: repaired games from bad tapes

Where does it take 8:29 to load? I just tried on XRoar and the CAS file loads Ok (loading screen has no error), and it takes 3:50 to do so. You seem to have shortened the sync bytes from 256 to 128 and you have at least one block that yields a crc error. Hi Rob, Thanks for the info. ;) i have not n...

Re: repaired games from bad tapes

Cuthbert in the Mines
This is a weird one in emulators.

WAV has a corrupt loding screen an takes [3:42] to load.
converted CAS takes [8:29] to load.

when the CAS loader first block is padded with zero's to make it 256bytes.
the load time is reduced in MAME to [3:29]

so it's yet another MAME error.

Re: repaired games from bad tapes

Match Maker (Orange)
tape is on the M.I.A. list, so i made this from the disk.

the CAS loader only shows the loading screen when the DDOS cart is inserted?.
