So, is there someone willing to recover a program from tape? I'd of course pay some for the work. It's a ML program, Whirlwind Rescue and pretty close to being my favourite VIC game

I don't have that in GB20 (but it's listed as an entry) so I'd be interested in getting a working PRG/TAP from it too

There is an inlay on Arma's tribute site, but no TAP

Is the tape still in decent condition and you think it would still load okay Iltanen? I have the facilities to transfer tapes, disks and cartridges to emulator format so I could have a shot if need be.

Yes it could work... just PM me your address and I'll send it

Perfect and if someone needs a PRG conversion, i'm here

The program won't load okay, I get "WHIRLWIND RESCUAA" load error. I send it anyway, maybe you can "get it out"?

Maybe is an head alignment problem, does exist a graphical alignment program for the Vic like one that i've for the C64 ?

No, I don't think I can load it.. I've been able to load it but it suddenly stopped about a year ago. I've tried it with many cassette decks and adjusted one of them without a result

So, it probably requires a little more than just loading it. Do I send it to you anyway?

Send it to Mayhem, in case i help him.

He's got my address so I'll receive it and attempt the transfer. My 1530 is aligned via the C64 so I know that's perfect (I use it also for the Vic20). The transfer is done via 1531 however but I have a 99% success rate there too; I've been able to align that deck pretty much too, but some tapes do fluctuate. I have spent two hours or more on a tape in the past just trying to get it out in working state heh.

I am trying to get that game, too.

any news on that?

I did some reworks on Atari800... but never found the original game I had back in those glory days:

http://atari.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=5300

so it is still an open issue in my life

Now I have my Vic20 and kit at my flat, I need to go back and try another load. I wasn't able to get it to transfer on my PC at the time. Just have to remember where I put the tape...

would be cool. as it seems the game is missing on the net and a lot of people seems to had enjoyed it very much?

I ran through both sides of the tape and didn't immediately locate where Whirlwind Rescue was, but I'll give it another try in the future.
