A really interesting video. I never thought about how old tape games could be converted and this has explained a lot. I joined the gaming world with an Amiga 500, so I never experienced the whole tape thing. However, this is a great insight into how things were and how people are still developing software to cater for older systems. Brilliant.
Thanks so much for this video, it got me 90% of the way there except for some reason I had to tick the "Inverted waveform" box in Audiotap - then I got 99% in Tapclean where before I was getting 0% every time. Not sure what's different about my setup but after I figured that out it loaded just fine in VICE and I was off to the races. Cheers!
I am trying something like this for the first time. I have a Cassette Recorder plugged into the mic jack of my computer, but under settings I do not know how to point the program to use the input mic on my computer. There are only 3 devices that show up. My USB Tonor Microphone, Microsoft Sound Mapper and Digital Audio (S/PDIF). I looked in control panel and the device that I have it plugged into does not seen to detect it as being plugged in.
Nice, I wonder about getting (recording) that cleaned version back to the original tape, would it help it load again on an actual C64?
Interesting, was going to use my 1541 Ultimate II for this, but perhaps this is better. Would it work with turbo tapes i wonder? :)

How about TAP to tape?

Great project!
