Woo, glad to be of service

Have you tried the CAS I posted? The headers on that should be long enough that a cas2wav would still work.

http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/da/synther7_coco.wav.gz for a gzipped WAV.

They both work under emulation. The CAS posted to coco3.com needs an extra byte tagged on the end to load in XRoar (I've made the next release cope with this), but it does work. Doesn't autostart though, as it's just a save out from a disk file. Mine autostarts as I've just patched a tidied version ...

Ok I had some time before leaving for work this morning so... It looks very like the Dragon version was just patched from an original CoCo one: after detecting a keypress, it calculates a "scan code" then JSRs to a routine that just adjusts this scan code back to what it would have been on a CoCo. N...

A quick bash to get it loading here: http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/da/synther7_coco_step1.cas It's heavily keyboard-based though, so getting the scanning right will be a pig unless it turns out to be using some sort of lookup table. I'll see if anything falls out of a trace of execution if I get a mome...

I wrote this for someone else a while back: http://www.6809.org.uk/tmp/da/tapehack.txt - how easy it is kinda depends on how much you like poking around in hex dumps and disassemblies... Most of why Synther-7 doesn't load will be due to the autorun method I suspect, though it might make lots of ROM ...

Doesn't look promising - a google for "synther-7 coco" just turns up others with your problem, and even checking the supposedly CoCo-biased rtsi archive (ftp://os9archive.rtsi.com/), you can find a CAS file, but it too only loads on the Dragon. Was it definitely out on CoCo? Edit: of course, it prob...

Heh, I was only interested in the controller and thought my bid for half that seemed a bit high... Ah well.

I might really really want one, but this has gone somewhat above my "willing to pay" level. 73 quid! Ouch! Is it any of you? :) Er, and if it is, can you verify the ROM dump when you get it? ;) I still wonder if there really are two versions of the ROM - it's been implied one (the one we seem to hav...

Nice Not enough Dragon-based video on there. Cute to see the Star LC-10 - think everyone must've had one of those at some point, though not sure why you were getting such odd behaviour out of it.

And you suck at Rommel's Revenge
