Hi,
Is it possible to save the games as TEXT.BAS listings to share here? ============================================================================================== C U L8r, °|° Walt Perko °|° "Kids ... teach them the good stuff, and they still learn the bad stuff on their own." http://www.R2Pv1.com/ RoboGuts™ Intelligent content for 3D printing making S.T.E.A.M. education better, easier and more affordable Experiments to learn how to use various Electronic Components, Structured Computer Programming, Phonemes for Speech &Song in any language, and Art.

The same Japanese group released some code and earlier games as examples and I found this: https://github.com/inufuto/Cate_examples/blob/main/t100/mazy2/BinWav.csx By fiddling around with the file I was able to get the Tandy to load it, barely. The BASIC listing for LOADER is: 10 CLEAR0,49408 20 CLOADM"SVELLA" 30 CALL49408 ... which is pretty much what Brian talked about. Saving that same file back out the cassette interface revealed the cause of the problem: The generated WAV file the game author distributes is just a hair too fast. Maybe that's close enough for the tape header and file name, but the actual LOADER program barely makes it in, and the much longer machine language program is just totally unreadable.

Probably whatever they are using to generate the WAV messed up. On Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 22:01 John R.
