Re: Loading Sam Tape into Sim Coupe

[Aley Keprt]

Why a printer port? That was used in ancient ages of emulators. Today you just use your soundcard to load tapes. Especially in Windows, it's technically impossible to use non-DMA sound input, because it would either failed to work or hurt the multitasking system core.   BUT! SimCoupe emulator doesn't support tapes, and ASCD emulator supports just simple TAP files. So if you want to use some tapes, you currently must use a conversion program (look at www.worldofspectrum.org) to convert tape to TAP file. And I wouldn't bet it will work 100%, since Sam isn't 100% Spectrum.   ---------------------------------------------------------- Mgr.(MSc.)
