system11 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I just recorded the tapes for Superman (UK Ariolasoft) and Galactic Cresta (STV) which don't seem to be on the Atarimania database. Last time I tried to use wav2tap tools basically nothing worked and someone here did it for me. If anyone can help, they're here: http://www.system11.org/temp/ROMs/galactic_cresta_superman_atari.zip Superman side B looked generally worse, the tape won't load in my XC12 at all, can't turn it - the hifi deck upstairs was able to. Same story with Galactic Cresta, I did make a tape to tape of that up there which loaded so I'm more hopeful for that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Superman a works but all the others have severe dropout probably from missing data... Edit, realised I had some devices and tape settings on in Altirra and once corrected all work bar Superman B which hits a load error at block 45..

Fred_M Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Here you are @system11 I hope you don't mind that I use your dumps for the a8preservation project too? Both a-sides converted fine with a8cas (which is much better than wav2cas). I cut off the silent parts of the wav-files and I switched the stereo tracks of Superman side A. The left track was much better and louder than the right (data) track.superman_galactic.zip superman_galactic.zip One question. You wrote Superman Ariolasoft UK release. I know of the Prism Leisure UK release, is your tape really an Ariolasoft release?

system11 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Oh yes, please feel free to add/share/post them anywhere - it's the whole reason I bought them! And sorry yes, Superman is Prism. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I edited the post because I had all sorts of turbo settings on and a couple of devices and also I tested in NTSC by mistake, so when I listened to the load it was dropping out..(even though it wasn't really, was just my setup) Went beck and retested and only had the one duff tape what was just a duplicate side so no problem.. Thanks to Sysytem11 for the dumps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
