WAV files from binary code

Post by Rink »

Hopefully this isn't too dumb a question for my first post :D (Although I did just post it in the wrong forum, so technically this is now my second post). My first Dragon hasn't even arrived yet so there's lots I'm learning. Maybe I should have gone back to the Acorn Electron I had as a kid, but somehow the appeal of the D32 was too strong.

Is there a tool out there that can take a binary file and modulate it into a .wav suitable for reading from a Dragon cassette (assuming the binary contained the header information)?

If not, can someone point me in the right direction of how the Dragon's frequency modulation works so that I can write one?

Incidentally, I was very happy to see such an active forum here. Good stuff.

Cheers guys (and gals).

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

I made a small command line program (click here for the program thread, and download the latest one) to convert a binary file to .CAS format. After that, you can use DC.exe to convert it to a .WAV file.

Please tell me if you find any error.

Hope this helps! :mrgreen:
