I have had limited success downloading BBC tape image files from the extensive stairwaytohell library and converting them back to audio with FreeUEF, playing thorugh my PC speaker into which is plugged one of those mp3 to tape things (Y'know, those tapes with the jack on them) and that is itself inside a cassette player connected to my beeb.
I say limited success, because of the 10+ files I have tried only Snapper version 1 and 2 (1 being a near exact copy of Pac Man) and Sentinel (Different to The Sentinel) work. Others dont load at all, give errors or get stuck at the loading screen.
Can anyone point me towards some Tape Images that are less flakey/more tolerant of this somewhat long winded set up? not necessarily from a different archive, but ones which definately work.
I presume that the conversion of original tape to tape image preserves flaws in the original tape when converted back?
Thanks.
