So, is there someone willing to recover a program from tape? I'd of course pay some for the work. It's a ML program, Whirlwind Rescue and pretty close to being my favourite VIC game
Is the tape still in decent condition and you think it would still load okay Iltanen? I have the facilities to transfer tapes, disks and cartridges to emulator format so I could have a shot if need be.
No, I don't think I can load it.. I've been able to load it but it suddenly stopped about a year ago. I've tried it with many cassette decks and adjusted one of them without a result
So, it probably requires a little more than just loading it. Do I send it to you anyway?
He's got my address so I'll receive it and attempt the transfer. My 1530 is aligned via the C64 so I know that's perfect (I use it also for the Vic20). The transfer is done via 1531 however but I have a 99% success rate there too; I've been able to align that deck pretty much too, but some tapes do fluctuate. I have spent two hours or more on a tape in the past just trying to get it out in working state heh.
Now I have my Vic20 and kit at my flat, I need to go back and try another load. I wasn't able to get it to transfer on my PC at the time. Just have to remember where I put the tape...
