Well guys that all my games- make of them what you will- all were written about 1985 - 1986.

Great to have saved them as TAP files- it certainly gives my kids an idea of what old games were like - can't see them dropping their Wii mind to play them- you really had to have been there- eh?!!

Managed to load all the games and then ReSave them onto a new Hi Quality Cassette -then created a TAP file of the new Tape- works a lot better now.

Will send the B-side shortly....

If I manage to get more TAP files - will I send them to Jeff-20 or Mayhem -or both?

Thanks again guys

Just notice that the cursor color on PACMAN is white too- so just type RUN when the tape counter stops and the loader will run.

I've come this far! - get back to me if you can't get them to run!

Just emailed you the TAP file.

It contains PACMAN and SCRAMBLE.

The loaders contain the instructions- get back to me if you have any questions.

I've also got some more original games I've created - I'll send them to you when I managed to load them and save them.

All I do with the .VSF file is load up VICE and click SNAPSHOT > Load Snapshot image.

Works fine on my 2PCs.
