Short: V1.2 (2002-05-09) convert .t64 .tap .wav Author: Andreas Matthies , Dirk Stoecker Uploader: stoecker epost de (Dirk Stoecker) Type: misc/emu Version: 1.2 (2002-05-09) Architecture: m68k-amigaos This small tool belongs to the group of utilities supporting the emulation of the good old C64. To be more precise, it helps you to reuse your old tapes recorded with the C2N (Datasette) of Commodore and full of programs for the C64. All you have to do is to record the C64-tape with your soundcard and your favourite sampling-software (for example the sound-recorder of Windows 9x). tape64 then uses the recorded file (usually a .wav-file, when you use a Windows-OS) to a.) create a .tap-file (C64-TAPE-RAW). If you use Hakan Sundell's popular emulator CCS64 or my favourite emu VICE, this .tap-file behaves like a real tape. You can load your programs directly with the LOAD-command (or <-L if they were saved with Turbo-Tape) in the emulation. b.) create p00-files (binary images) from the C64-programs. In current version the following loaders are supported/emulated: - ROM-loader (files saved with the SAVE-kernal-routine) - Turbotape - Input64 (tapes coming with german magazine; tested with tapes 11/85-6/86) - Novaload (commercial loader; special Nova-blocks are not supported due to limitations of the binary format) Support for other loaders may follow in next versions. The p00's can be loaded directly in the emulator (I tested it with CCS64 and VICE) or can be converted (using another tool like 64copy) to other common C64-archive-formats like D64. c.) create a t64-archive, which includes all detected C64-files, offers a directory-structure and is supported by nearly every emulator. tape64 even accepts a formerly created tap-file as input, if you want to build a t64-archive and have deleted the sample-file or if you downloaded tap's from internet.

You get the compilable source by extracting the .zip file and afterwards calling "patch
