CLOAD, then RUN.

The gap between list 7 and 8 is too long.  All lists will load one right after another, except for list 8.  I made two recordings of side 2, one as recorded and one with a shortened gap (a couple seconds) to allow list 8 to load with out setting the tape closer to the data.

Principles of Economics (1979)(Atari)(US)[cassette]

 

The Dorsett Educational system uses the Master Cartridge in conjunction with educational tapes that include vocal/audio instruction. Since this seems to be more of a "streaming" system rather than a "load-the-program-and-run" type system, I decided to rate the overall experience of each recording I made (yes, I took each lesson).

 

Each WAV* contains 2 lessons and I rate them separately. I rate each lesson from 6.0 to 10.0, 10.0 being the best. Anything lower and it is not a good enough experience to be usable.

 

*Since CAS cannot carry the vocal/audio portion of the recordings, no CAS files are included.

 

You need all 5 zips for a complete set

 

So to use these on an actual A8, I have to rerecord the .wavs to a cassette? or is there some other way, via SDriveMAX, Fujinet or some other device?

Fujinet can load them.  I do not have an SDriveMax so I cannot comment.

 

Or you can wait until I move them to disk as I have done numerous times with other titles in this thread.

Doesn't seem like .wav or .flac has been implemented yet on the Fujinet, though it appears to be possible.  I don't how you'll move the audio tracks to ATR (though I'm not an expert)?

Currently Audio Tracks cannot be moved without re-recording them and reprogramming the system that uses them. Difficult.

 

As of now, I can only move stuff that I made a CAS for, mostly. There are a few that I cannot get.

 

So, right now, to be able to use the second audio channel, you will need to use an emulator.  I have been thinking of a way to move them to disk, but that is a long way off.

That is all I have for now.  Back to The All ATR Thread.  Still working through the S's. I will make sure that everything I posted in the 2 8-bit software Preservation threads get added before returning to S's.
