I've been going through your TAPs recently Frank and pulling out anything I can find. I know NBLA went through some of them too in the past and extracted games. So far there's been a handful needed for GB20.
Speaking of which there is a Haunted House in there already but it only requires 3k (might be one of those however that can work with any type of expanded memory). Or could be a new different game. Mother Hen isn't in there for sure though.

Lie with passion and be forever damned...
I'm hopeful to find more stuff too.... When i've backed up my entire tape collection (blanks, personal recorded stuff etc), i'll happily upload somewhere for people to check out incase there is anything i've missed.
I'll highlight any particular Vic 20 tapes, but you've pretty much seen most of them posted here.
One for the tape experts... I have a old tape which has remains of a SEUCK game I was working on many years ago (Saved in SEUCK file format). It picks up the game half way through the tape, but the tape finishes before all the blocks are loaded in. Hence its missing about 5-10 blocks. However, I am pretty sure I had a second copy at the start of the tape, but for some reason recorded over the start header with a 5/10 block type in cheat for Delta. Would anyone be able to patch over the Delta cheat signals with the SEUCK game start header from half way through and produce a full file? Or is this maybe a step too far?

Line 300 looks funny as well.
I think line 270 may be wrong as line 420.

Gimme a couple of additional TAP images of the tape, please. Some data may be recoverable with a bit of work.bokvamme wrote:If you've got the time, please look at the tap Luigi.
I think those blocks after the Haunted House block is cbm loader too, but the pulses are shifted. It's time we get a REAL tap expert have a look
I am actually based in UK, so that I can look at the tape itself.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Luigi.
Could you please put a link to the post you are referring to or quote it here?
