Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Hello, I am in the process of converting the 2448 ASC files into WAV files ... I have found an I/O Error when loading a file into XRoar It is the JMPMFL.ASC that converts silently into JMPMFL.CAS and then while converting to WAV with XRoar shows for a small moment the I/O ERROR message and immediate...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Hi Ciaran, disregard previous post. It was my own fault, sorry :-( I was using this command for %%a in (*.cas) do ( ..\..\xroar -machine dragon64 -extbas ..\..\..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom1.rom -altbas ..\..\..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom2.rom -nodos -tape-rewrite -tape-write %%a2wav -type "SKIPF\n" -timeout-motoroff...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

You could use XRoar for this maybe (yeah yeah I'm a one-trick pony...): xroar -nodos -tape-rewrite -tape-write filename.wav -type 'SKIPF\n' -timeout-motoroff 1 filename.cas Edit: except... there seems to be a bug ;) Hi Ciaran, no good news, sorry. I didn't use any of the created WAV files nor did I...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Hi Tony, I have tested the two cas you uploaded and work well in XRoar with Orchestra. Then I used the new script to convert AAODDS.ASC that had given 'header' problems and now it is well converted and plays nice too. So, congrats! You got it! I like the idea of widening the header with 80 chars $55...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Hi Tony, glad to know you have a patch that solves the 'problematic files' I am doing my firts steps on Perl, fortunately it is a very C-like language, but it has some tricks related to I/O and search/substitute strings that need some internet help! Honestly, after reading your script some hundred t...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

that's right. Now it seems that I could plan to 'verify' the converted CAS files with a small java app. Or maybe better, try to learn perl and see what does Tony's script. I don't need the WAV files immediately, it was just a step to get them converted into ORC files and saved onto DSK in my CoCo, s...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

The last byte in the block is the CRC of the block. The structure is as follows: 0x55 Lead 0x3C Block Begin 0x?? Block Type 0x?? Block size Size bytes of data 0x?? CRC 0x55 Trailing byte So, most probably, the script isn't counting on the CRC byte and does mistake it for a data byte. Good point, Ro...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

alright now. It is clear that, at the end of some blocks, it is added an 'unwanted' extra byte ... that by now I cannot figure where it comes from. The file ALLERG.ASC has this long command: M V1*H$Q9&;IA;7v2*H$Q9 which translated (coded) should be: CD 60 D6 71 6A 48 64 51 79 66 7B 49 41 7B 77 D6 72...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

HI, I have found that after the crash, when loading one of the 'bad' CAS files, you can enter E command and so you see what has been loaded. Exiting edit mode (Break), you can List the loaded part (in XRoar) and this should be identical to the original ASC file, but there are a lot of lines more in ...

Re: Orchestra-90 CC

Hi Tony ... HELP! I think that I have found the other problem, the one that gets an I/O error when loading into Orchestra in XRoar. This happens when a line of code (orchestra command) is broken due to getting to the end of a block (256 bytes) The file I have been analyzing is ALLERG and if you have...
