Hey, I'm a noob, too! I recently got a CoCo Model 1 for very cheap with a composite mod. Some things: #1.) If you load games from a .wav file/cassette, if CLOAD doesn't work, CLOADM will. #2.) After loading, 'Run' for CLOAD programs (BASIC Programs) and 'exec' for CLOADM programs (Machine Language Programs.) Cassette cables can be had for a relative cheap price on Ebay. I got mine for about 5 bucks.

Wow, thanks for the replies guys. Basically I'd be getting into this more as a hobby thing than to do it for people or do it as a business, for the person who asked above. I just wanted to know the things I should probably look into ahead of time!

Hello! I've been thinking about getting back into retro console repair and modification. I attempted to, a long while back, but then my life got kind of dumped on. NOW that I have the time and money to get back into the hobby, I wanna get back to trying to learn. What would you include in a retro-console repair kit? What sizes of tools? and so on.

D.M. are my Initials. 'Dark Journey'. That's metal af. It's probably some black and blue colored platformer with a stick sword.

Currently have a deal in the works! Will update if it falls through!

Helloooo. Update: Colecovision on it's way from it's seller. So no longer looking! I'm looking for Atari 7800 games. I'm looking for the ones on the list below: (I am mainly looking for loose carts. I'm finding Boxed/CIB is too expensive for me. I mean if you're selling cheap CIB games, great, but just noting. X3) Dark Chambers Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Jr. Joust Dig Dug Centipede Galaga Ms. Pac-Man I don't have a feedback history here, sadly. So nothing to link you to. Payment would be via Paypal or Venmo as I have a Venmo now! (Though have not used it yet.) Thank you for your consideration!

Hey jhd. Basically, I'm the ultra noob. X3. I thought it was 'RUN' for both types. I loaded a program and typed 'EXEC' and that worked. Go Munchman and Color Invaders working, which were my two test programs. Thank you for your patience. X3 Whoops!

I can't edit this, whoops but I will add: I have typed 'AUDIO ON' and confirmed that the devices will play through the TV great, so the cable is ostensibly fine.

Hello! I recently got a CoCo 1 and have been trying to get it load programs via a Cassette cable I bought off Ebay. Here's how it goes: I load the .wav file onto the device. I get the wav files from here: http://www.colorcomputerarchive.com/coco/Cassettes/Games/ I connect the device via the cable to the device. I type 'CLOAD' (or CLOADM, as applicable) and then that little prompt in the corner comes up. I press play. It blinks. It gets the correct name of the program. It appears to be loading. The recording stops. The little light blinks: 'OK' it says. Now when I type 'Run', nothing happens. I type 'List' and there's no program loaded. It's like it wasn't loading anything at all. :-/. What's going on? How can I potentially fix it? I've tried various volume levels but that doesn't seem to matter. I KNOW it's loading /something/ because it's detecting the name of the program while it loads. :-/.

Bubsy on your Catari 2600! What could pawsibly go wrong!? (Also, fun game!)

Thanks for the reply, acadeshopper! That's neat then! I can buy a generic cassette deck then or just use a spare old smartphone I have laying around then.

As the title says, I got a TRS-80 CoCo. It comes with a Pak game. (Chess), and it's been modded to use RCA Video/In out style jacks. (I believe this is called a composite mod? I am basically returning to the collectors scene of retro games after a VERY long hiatus.) for what I think is a good price of 35 dollars off ebay. NOW, besides the cassette interface cable, do I need a super special cassette player to load tapes? Or can I just use any old cassette player after fiddling with volume settings? As far as I can tell the only benefit of a 'super special TRS-80 specific' cassette is the ability for the computer to control it directly? (Or heck, can I even play an audio file of the cassette off my computer or smart phone?) Just making sure I know what to get and look out for~
