@Tony, Robert I have found a strange coincidence with all of the 'bad' files that didn't load in XRoar and hanged with the inverted 'S' searching for the header. In the CAS format they have at char number 29-33 (after the filename) 01 FF 00 0D 0A It seems to me that the two-three last bytes should c...

sorry Robert,
the APACHE file is one of the failed files, so disregard it ...
or simply use it to compare with the good ones

Hi Robert, let me say that XRoar is the used tool to convert the CAS files into WAV files while the ASC to CAS conversion is done with the help of Tony's Perl script. When converted with the perl script I could not see any message ... in fact they were converted with a batch program that executed th...

Hi Robert, first, I must say that the WAV files you are looking at are WRONG files. I have just uploaded here the ones that failed along the conversion process, so the contents are not correct. This is an explanation of the different format files: The ASC files are a special TRS-80 'old' format to s...

Hi Tony, with the help of Sixxie I have been able to convert the cas files from folder 'A' to WAV. As you suspected, there have been some problems. 126 out of 139 have converted flawlessly, errors arose on: ALLERG, AMBACH and ATLAN2 which showed error 7 because the program could not find the file be...

hello Ciaran, I am right now listening to the axelf song after having loaded into the XRoar Orchestra90cc emulation the wav file just generated. Great, thanks a bunch. Now I will have to create a command file to use all the cas files in a folder to be sent as parameters to the working xroar command ...

Hi Ciaran, I think I was sleeping. My goodness! I have just changed a bit the command and now it works perfect! copy ..\..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom1.rom d64_1.rom copy ..\..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom2.rom d64_2.rom ..\xroar -machine dragon64 -extbas d64_1.rom -altbas d64_2.rom -nodos -tape-rewrite -tape-write %1.w...

Hi, I must be doing something wrong, but what? This is the windows (DOS) .bat file I use: cd.. copy ..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom1.rom d64_1.rom copy ..\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom2.rom d64_2.rom xroar -machine dragon64 -extbas d64_1.rom -altbas d64_2.rom -nodos -tape-rewrite -tape-write %1.wav -type 'SKIPF\n' -timeou...

Hi Ciaran,
I hadn't spotted this possibility.
Would it work from inside a command file so that I can call XRoar with some 2448 different files?
I thought it had to be done one at a time and this will be painful, for sure!

thanks beforehand
cheers

Hi Tony back again, I would like to convert all of these .cas files to .wav so that they could be loaded either into a real Dragon or CoCo computer. I am not sure if the header of these .cas files will be long enough to guarantee the detection of the beginning of the file when loading them. As it wo...
