For WAV to CAS you can start XRoar in a mode that rewrites anything it loads out to a CAS file. Start it with the "-tapehack" option, then press Control+W to give a filename for CAS output. Then Control+L to attach the WAV and load your program. The output file should contain CAS data when you quit....

You can force a slightly blurred OpenGL scaling with "-gl-filter linear" - the large spot size of a CRT isn't simulated directly I'm afraid, so you can only get that with the SDL OpenGL driver. I do aim to add PAL colour bleed at some point, so that things like the blue/red chessboard pattern produc...

Well for me, mostly under emulation - and then mostly on the DS on train journeys (Buzzard Bait never gets old! And some of the analogue joystick games work well with the touch screen). When I fire up a real Dragon, I usually play WAVs of tapes out from a PC. If I ever get a separate desk set up for...

Well, I'd offer no guarantees that they'd *all* work in a Dragon, and some will doubtless work but with keyboard map oddness. Usually fine though, in my experience. 32 or 64 both fine for this sort of thing. Not sure anyone has built a simple game ROM flash cart, though there are more complex things...

Well both machines had more software released on tape than in cartridge form, but if you're really only going for cartridges, the CoCo had more game carts specifically for it than the Dragon. On the other hand, most CoCo carts do work well on the Dragon, where most Dragon-specific carts won't work w...

Along with a transcription.

I'm not sure I ever configured it properly, just did the appropriate setfdprm and floppycontrol stuff each time. I don't think you ever need to do more than set "ss dd sect=18 cyl=40 ssize=256" and then broken_dcl as above - pretty much as you'd expect. It'll even format disks for you after that - a...

You can work around the broken disk change line with

floppycontrol --broken_dcl /dev/fd0


something like that, anyway.

remz recently announced an excellent music player to the coco3.com forums. His original version is CoCo 3 only, running constantly at 2MHz, but I've hacked it to run at 1MHz and thus work (reliably!) on the Dragon. We also between us (mostly remz, mind) managed to claw back many extra cycles in the ...
