How’s your day going? Mine is cleaning the dissolved remains of the drive and counter belts of this old tape recorder and finding replacements. 😅

I am covered in the black goo, send help!!!

a8cas-convert is often great, but I'm finding #Altirra does a more reliable job of successfully turning (ancient) eight-bit data tape audio into a successfully loaded program.

Looks like a8cas-convert has been effectively abandoned since 2015: https://a8cas.sourceforge.net/news.html

Trying to recover more programs from #cassette tapes recorded with the #Atari #program #recorder in the early 1980s. Type-a-tune doesn't seem to be recoverable. Look at that drop-out! #a8cas-convert can't turn the audio into a valid CAS file either.

Just 12 milliseconds of data are missing, but that makes this #program unrecoverable.

I learned to #CSAVE a program twice in succession after getting caught out like this a few times.

What have you used #cassette #tapes for?
— Recording / Playback of #music?
— Computer #data such as #games or other programmes / #files?
— Something else I didn't think/know of?

Or do you have no idea what a #cassetteTape is?
