    Hehe... Sorry if I was being vague. The Datasette itself works beautifully, I've tested saving, loading, etc. I'm using one of these to get the program onto the tape. I got a headphone jack to headphone jack at Radioshack. It's coming from the computer's headphone jack into the mic input on the cassette deck.

    Datasette came in the mail today. The cassettes is came with work fine, but the ones I create almost never work. So far, I've gotten one to work, but trying to play the same tape again failed. I follow the onscreen directions, it says 'Searching' and appears to be done within one minute. I try to run the game, but it just says 'Ready' again. What am I doing wrong?

    I've read some things about SD emulation for a 1541 disk drive, allowing me to play the games without the disks. Where can I get these, and how much will it cost me? I'd prefer the real thing, but thats not really an option. Also, should I get the original Breadbox, or the updated 64C? The one I'm looking at is an earlier model, so I'm leaning toward that. Thanks in advance! :D

    How durable are the Intelly controllers? I almost bought on at a flea market the other day, but my dad (Who had one as a kid) told me that the controllers were crap, and frequently broke. He said that the little disc wore through the little pad inside the controller. Anyone have this problem, or lack thereof?

    I checked out the Megacart. While awesome beyond measure, it's WAY out of my price range. This happens a lot, being 13 with no regular income :ponder: . I'm going to ask the folks on Denial in a bit, because it won't let me register for awhile. Those darned anti-bot measures kept me out for now.

    EXCELLENT that you are into vintage hardware!! Isn't this stuff fun and interesting? I have never lost my curiosity over it ever since I was your age and the Vic 20 was just being replaced :) 22 years running so far.

     

    Thanks! This stuff is endlessly amazing. I could sit down and play my 2600, NES, etc. for hours. Funny how the laptop I received less than five years ago is already defunct (Apparently there were some defective video cards coming from Dell), but my Vic 20 from the early 80's still functions beautifully. They just don't make computers/games like they used to. xD

    Here is the user's manual. But the short instructions are:

     

    Type LOAD and hit enter/return. Then press PLAY on the tape unit. When it finds a file, it will tell you it's loading. It's normal for the screen to go blank while the tape is running. Have fun.

    Thanks! I've been lurking for a long time, and finally decided to register.

     

    I should have worded the question differently...

     

    I'd like to know how to back up the *.TAP files onto a cassette for use in my VIC.
