C64 .TAP file writer
Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2016 7:06 am
Thanks for the idea to use a C64 to make tapes. Here's how far I got with it. This writer seems to nail it down to two cycles – but for whatever reason the last 12 bits aren't written. Sure to be fixed soon but maybe some interesting Sunday read anyway already. Oh – it requires a GEORAM extension.
First, it reads a TAP file called "MASTER" into the RAM extension and then starts recording right away. The pulse lengths are translated to match a PAL VIC. Recording PWM audio will need some speed code. Am not sure if it can be done at all.
