Mclaneinc Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Getting command line errors with all the cas files in Altirra, the wav's are fine Just tested other known cas files and they load as expected, seems to be an encoding issue?

Mclaneinc Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Edit: Asylum DOES work, no errors...I'd missed out on checking it by accident, but the others do fail.. Tried a redownload etc etc.. Also found a little 'oddity', if I drag a large zipped wav file on to Altirra from my opus screen I get a message saying its too large >128mb but if I drag the same file that is unzipped it is ok about it.. Obviously there's a reason for it, just I'd never seen it before..

Mclaneinc Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Well whatever has happened since 2.90 is perhaps more exact and isn't happy with these small set of cas files. I suspect its like the disks that would load on Atariwinplus but not Altirra because Altirra was far more accurate in drive emulation. I'm sure it will all get sorted out.. 2.90 and XP, have you been travelling back in time again Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/321959-8-bit-software-a-preservation-effort/page/6/#findComment-4848394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 I have no idea what is going on for you. My Altirra setup for testing them is fairly bland with no additional hardware setups. They all tested fine with the exception of Avoid. I could not get a CAS file made, but the wav works.

+SoulBuster Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Dimension X - Autoload cassette. Instructions for other versions say to disable basic, but this will not load with it disabled. Leave basic enabled when autoloading. The following cassette recording of Dimension X is an anomaly. The Cassette player I used, mixed stereo down to mono with both the left and the right side recorded into one track. The anomaly is that it still loads the game, go figure. Dimension X Cassette.zip This is the proper recording of Dimension X with the Audio and data separated. There is also a version that reduces clipping of the music channel and an ever further version that offsets the music so it can finish before the data is loaded, also with reduced clipping. The CAS version does not seem to carry the music channel.

Instructions say to disable basic. but I could only get it to load in Altirra with Basic enabled. Let me know what your experience is. Unable to create CAS. The reason Dimension X doesn't work is you've got the music channel and the data channel mixed together in a wav file. Both channels are mixed hard right. What kind of cassette deck are you using to capture this?

Amazing that it does. There's music to listen to while the game is loading in one channel. I'd use a cassette deck that has proper stereo output, or check your connections to your recording device.
