Re: [MSX] Chase HQ cas file
I have never found anything like a filter in the cassette entry. At the moment, I am able to recognize data at 11000 bauds in a 3,5 MHz MSX. And the speed could be even higher using a more detailed format (let's say, a 64 KHz sound card) and a faster CPU (Z80 at 6/7 MHz). Anyway, 11000 bauds (real speed) is not very reliable. 8700 bauds is 100% compatible if you use a decent CD player or a PC. I love to load games in just a few seconds. 8 KB ROMs take about 12 seconds to load (including the special loader!).

My VG8020 could hardly read some tapes, while the same tape used on a Sony would load without a glitch. I suppose it's the playback device that makes the difference, not the MSX machine. Sony's bitcorder were possibly of higher quality than Philips' datarecorders. At least the bitcorder looks more professional to me ;) I remember having saved a Hydlide 3 game to a special computer cassette on a Philips datarecorder, but was unable to load it afterwards! Also, if this Chase HQ tape recording was made with a normal audio cassette player, a lot of noise gets added.
