Sure, must be only 0x00(1Byte) between end block and the next header starts. https://wiki.kasettilamerit.fi/wiki/index.php/Spectravideo That link does not provide the format of a .CAS file, it only contains the encoding of data on tape. Many, if not most, of the existing .CAS files contain extra data between the end of a block and the start of the...

I've noticed that after finishing loading, there are remaining bytes before the next header starts. Could that be an issue? Sure, must be only 0x00(1Byte) between end block and the next header starts. https://wiki.kasettilamerit.fi/wiki/index.php/Spectravideo Would it be possible to output the .CAS to audio as it loads, similar to the Tape Sound o...

Later version build the same April 25 :

Changelog :
// - Rewind on CAS load or Reset
// - LED_Disk on Tape Load

Hummm...
Maybe the Cas is broken.
Check that CAS is Right :
- Test that CAS on Emulator.
- Try to load a Wav coming from that CAS (or directly the CAS if you have how to do it) by ADC.

Multiblock Cas works. With the ADC load you have to stop the audio manually, but on the Cas load, the cas file "stops" automatically, and too starts again alone. So you just have to cload the first block, and then run... What happens when you try to load zaxxon cas? Have you tested the same Zaxxon by adc? Yes, until i release a new versio...

25/04/2021 Version:

Tape Load:
- Audio In
- CAS from OSD : First load CAS file on OSD and then exec command on SVI (cload, bload, ...). MAX 256KB.

Please Test and Report!!!

Yes, it supports tape audio in.

Is there any chance that this core will support cas files? There does not seem to be many cartridge roms around but cas files are plentyfull. I tested the first update of the day and will test the second one later this evening. Thanks for your work. I will take a look. I cannot promise, but will try. Meanwhile you can convert it to wav. There is a...

It comes from the Coleco Mister Core.

Latest Core Version of today.... by now... Ay Chip exchanged for the Jotego AY JT49. F8 -> Break Key Vdp configured as PAL chip. Some keys are missing, numeric pad, and so... Test and report!!

I have question regarding the config.txt. I changed the keyboard and set 0 to turbo. It doesn't seem to be taking in account. The keyboard layout doesn't change and the games still too quick. Is the config.txt is taking in account ? How to slow down the game (disable the turbo) ? Yes Turbo setting from config.txt is read and configured at boot. II...

I've just tried on my side with the game Cubic_Duel and the correct command to load it is CLOAD (with nothing behind) and the game was loaded and ran fine (It helped me to check if my ADC works also for this core and yes! it works fine) For the " character you should normally use SHIFT + ² (the key at the left side of the key 1(&) and you...

I think your " are not the correct character. It must not be inverse.

It depends of the tape.

Normally :
- load "cas:",r
- bload "cas:",r

New Beta!!!

- Better VHD management, fixed writing.
- Implemented Tape In load.

@kathleen Do you mind to test?
Everyone is welcome to test it, specially if you have problems with Beta > 2

Yes, it seems we are not breaking nothing... but neither fixing...

I'm sorry, that's a strange behavior. It must be related to sdram, cause it's the only changes between this and Beta02.

We will continue trying.
Thanks for testing!!

Another try with the sdram...

Test and Tell us!!

Changes from Beta 02 to 03 and 04 are just sdram stuff. Beta 02 had more problems than Beta 03 or 04, but these still had some users with problems, just like you @Kathleen. By now, with Beta 04, just one user has some type of problems, but can make the core works once "warmed", and you that cannot even start the vhd. It's a recent Beta, s...

Nextor supports Fat12 and Fat16, but the loader only supports Fat 16 Id 0x04 or 0x06.
Latest Windows only make format Fat16 Id 0x0E, in these SO you must use a thirdy party software.

Thanks to the help of @ron and the file of @tontonkaloun, I got the core "more or less" working. I say more or less because most of the time it hangs and once it boots, I have corrupted character at the screen. This is something that I cannot see on the videos and according to the previous posts nobody has this kind of issue. Any idea wh...
