Stuart Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Is there a way to convert data saved on a tape to digital data? Specifically, getting the data from a tape image normally loaded using the MiniMem EasyBug L command. Part of the problem is not knowing where in memory that data is being loaded ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOME AUTOMATION Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Win994a stores tapes as .bin type with a simple header... open a .TITape file with a hex editor. When desperate I use this method to transfer from MINIMEM to my FG99... Oddly enough I would normally use your transfer utility from the miscellaneous disk to move such a file from MAME to Win994a... but to do this you need to know the load address!Minimem's S and L options use: Memory Image(Program file) Format... from assy one could write a short program to define a PAB and access the cassette DSR than examine from VDP buffer or transfer to CPU RAM...You could easily butcher my CS14EVER program to do this...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) I fooled around with this and got it to load the LINES program to >1100 in VDP RAM. Observed from the V option in EASYBUG. READCS1.dsk USE PROGRAM NAME: RUN EDIT: Had forgotten to update the filenames.

HOME AUTOMATION Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I noticed the use of EASYBUG's V option really doesn't work for reading this... I don't know why it seemed to work on the emu last night...anyway I figured this out a little better...This loads the tape data to v>1100...then copies the data to c>B000... then copies the first 768 bytes to the screen table...QUIT... and use EASYBUG's "M" option to view c>B000...tapes made by EASYBUG's "S" option have the load address as the first word... and the image length as the second word... followed by the image data.
