I downloaded both and ran all four, 2 CAS and 2 WAV.  They all run fine here.  I used XEGS without BASIC and OS-B.

 

You can see my configs at the top of the following screens.

Even with XEGS the load stops after 40-50 seconds and goes to the SELF TEST screen. My first tries was with 800 OS-B without basic

Zaxxon checksums the OS and does not run with the OS-B distributed with Xformer. You need to have the "real one".

The fix for me was to check the option C : patch under Config System > Acceleration. No other configuration change was needed. Thanks (unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) no listening to the buzzing sounds of the loading tape)

Great work on all these @SoulBuster and @Allan 😀

I've created working CAS files for the Wall Street Challenge tape.

There is actually only two programs, but they are recorded twice on each side. Which meant this was easy to fix and the duplicate recordings I've retained in the CAS files.

Also worth noting the voice on the left-hand track at the half way point (between the duplicate programs) on each side "The program begins at the tone"

Fantastic! I added your CAS files to the zip in the original post.
