musical tapeloader revisit

Post by simon »

ok, we did the musical tapeloader thing....

but the performance of that left something to be desired before we could reach c64 SID type levels while loading tape...
after alot of headbreaking and back/forth discussion with numerous ppl (thank you John Kowalski for pointing me in the *simple* direction and Sorchard for his assistance)....

standard tape format can now be loaded whilst playing pattern based music at around 11Khz...
this is a capture of the 64K coco II loading 20K of code while playing music:

this uses the 58byte pattern based player i cooked

I love these beeper tunes that you're doing. Getting one to work while tape loading is pretty amazing, well done!
