I recently talked about this project here. When I first read in an old TRS-80 tape, today, in Audacity (using this new player) I noticed the high’s and lows were getting chopped off so I immediately lowered the cassette player volume. Here is how the volume looked in audacity, after I adjusted the volume lower.
I first tried the SDLTRS emulator, because it can read wav files directly. However it failed. I then used trs80-tool on the same failing wav file and it unbelievably…worked! On both SDLTRS and trs80gp. This was a tape created in 1979
and I’m reading it in on a $20 cassette player I bought on eBay.
I proactively was playing with trs80-tool and really had a game plan for this project. But for it to work on the very first use of trs80-tool…blows my mind. I really hope I can find my old Yahtzee game.
I’m totally shocked!
