Re: bum files
They're not working for me - did you patch the leaders of the ones available here? I think there's actually data missing from them - e.g., Eddie's title screen has obviously missed a block or two. That one might be fixable just be inserting a dummy block I suppose...

Quickly inserted a block in vim and this loads:sixxie wrote:That one might be fixable just be inserting a dummy block I suppose...

No guarantees it'll keep working for long though!
Re: bum files
I used FIXCAS on them. They seem to be working OK when used with Paul Burgin's T3 emulator.sixxie wrote:They're not working for me - did you patch the leaders of the ones available here?

Re: bum files
That's interesting. Suggests the data's in there but being skipped due to various delays (whereas T3 breakpoints the cassette loading ROM routines so there would be no delay). Does my hacked version fail on T3 then? If so, I've generated a new one here with xroar-tapemangle which should only include stuff that actually got read in:zephyr wrote: I used FIXCAS on them.

Re: bum files
Your original hack failed on T3, but the tapemangle generated version seems to be working perfectly.sixxie wrote:That's interesting.

Re: bum files
Cool. The proper solution is a re-rip of course, but I don't own this one.zephyr wrote: Your original hack failed on T3, but the tapemangle generated version seems to be working perfectly.
Re: bum files
Thanks Ciaran!
Just tested the archived version (.cas file) of ComputaVoice under T3 and XROAR without problems. I used the following syntax to load the M/C and BASIC demo.

Re: bum files
I'll add it to the todo list unless somebody else wants to use the XROAR "tapemangle" edition to re-rip from the original tape...sixxie wrote:Cool.
