Yeah, I figured. It’s too bad, very simple device and it works good to check the MP3’s.

As stated in an earlier post I use a device called a BOOSTEROO. it is a simple headphone amplifier. That is what I have used to test each and every MP3’s I’ve put up here.

TOMPUTER Cassette Software Tested - they load fine The LIGHTHOUSE WITH SAVE CS1 mp3 should be loaded first if you want to save a game to CS1.

The post from jenorton above made me remember a program that could assist a blind or sight impaired person. SPEAKDV80 loads from disk one and will speak the DV/80 file to you. Program name is SPEAKDV80 Requires Extended Basic and a Speech Synthesizer. SPEAKDV80.dsk

Here are some programs I use all the time: Boot Disk Changer(BDC) Allows you to change the "boot" drive from DSK1 to just about anything - changes XB program files and most DF/80. Also on the BDC disk is PagePro changer - does about the same as above but for PagePro files. Docs for both on disk - DV/80 files. XB Detective (XBD) Does all kinds of things in the XB environment No docs, but easy to figure out. BDC.dsk XBD.dsk

Yeah, that’s true about BXB. It sure could help a console only user if it could be used via cassette.

Some console basic games work ok in extended basic, some don’t. Easiest way to tell is to load the console basic game into extended basic and hit run. If it halts with an error, it is console basic only. HOWEVER There is a workaround to run in extended basic. You simply merge BXB into the already loaded CB game and it will run. somebody much brainier than me can explain why.
