barnieg Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I should be able to test loading and saving on the Aquarius this week and I have a few questions: 1. What volume level(s) work best? 2. I have a tape which I believe may contain the original owners basic programs any precautions to take before loading and steps to take if any issues? 3. Any methods of turbo loading and saving to casette? I was in poundland (UK discount) store yesterday and found they sell new casette tapes ? so I bought a pack of two they are 60 minutes so should suffice for now!

barnieg Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Wired up a cassette cable and got the Aquarius to record to tape. Could not reload with various volume settings. I'm going to check the cable over the weekend and try again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I recommend playing the tape into your computer and storing it as a WAV file (or some other audio file). That way, you can play it back as often as you like without worrying about the tape getting eaten, especially since it sound like you're going to play it several times until you figure out the right volume levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I did some experimentation some years ago with the Aquarius cassette cable and a PC sound card. This post documents my findings in the context of working with cassette images and the Virtual Aquarius imaging tools, but perhaps you'll find it helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to dig through the old posts I might have missed over the years. Hoping to get some aquarius stuff done as some collaboration work for my final project this year at uni Barnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnieg Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Some progress, I've been able to semi relibly load the basic header of a few test games but the basic is slightly corrupt. Laptop can go up to 153% which seems to work best, can't go any higher. Not sure what's next maybe my desktop will work better?

Aquaman Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 3. Any methods of turbo loading and saving to casette? This was released in the Netherlands, never tested it though. Turbo.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
