I try to figure out what this cassette tape I got is for. I was told it was for the Dragon 32. PCBWay …

This is the kind of retro computing archaeology that is worth doing, Having the tools to preserve old data from floppy and cassettes and make them available in more accessible formats is deluxe!
I HAVE COPIED A GAME…. ima pirate

Have to admit, my first thought (as others have said) was "I don't remember Dragon tapes sounding identical to Commodore!".
Not necessarily C64 just by listening to it, the other 8-bit Commodores use the same loader, but you'd have at least got the "found" message on a PET, VIC, C16 etc.
I couldn't find the "Figureditor" in the CSDB database 🙂
very interesting…long videos are much better than short ones tommy…..
Cool that you found out at the end. 1983 is a long time ago. I don't think I have that old tapes for the C64. Many of my tapes still work. I have noticed that trying to copy c64 tapes is hard to impossible. I hear you need a quality tape deck to do it. I never figured out why this system is harder to copy than others using tape to tape machines. btw I'm thinking of a tape project myself these days. Remember that Azimuth adjustment program? There is one by onslaught. I have made a video about it. You adjust the tape adjust screw until you see two or three straight lines. I was thiking that a MCU can do the same and display it on a bargraph LED display 🙂
every person from the 80's who had a cassette based system will tell you that the simpler a cassete player, least options, the more likely it will load the code. No graphic equalisers, no treble, bass, or noise reduction. Just a little screwdriver to adjust the "magical" azimuth setting (which no one really knew what the hell that was!). This brought back a few memories 🙂 Looks like a sprite editor
Yep as mentioned here already it's a c64 tape. You can tell by the header on it.
I have the same MSX machine (my first computer ever),
it was very popular in the Arab world due to its support for the Arabic language.
Thanks!
Det skulle ikke være vanskelig å høre hvordan lyden er og hvilken maskin det hører til. Du kan jo skrive AUDIO ON og MOTOR ON og da skal du kunne høre det.
Jeg er jo hørselshemmet og men jeg kan jo klare skille lyden.
Question on that locomotive. Is that a Russian model? Beyond looking Russian, it looks positively Soviet.
On the US East Coast we use similar train hardware, but you sure can tell your trains are much better kept than ours. I always thought it was a pretty cool hack to use audio cassettes as a data storage technique. I used to keep a pad of paper with my directory listings of cassettes, tape counter values for start and stop and file name. One day my sister took my tape pad for an art project and I lost everything for two weeks. You can imagine when I changed from my Atari 400 with tape drive to my friend's old C-64 ( he upgraded to a C-128) with 1541 …. OMG directory listings! Then in college when I got my first hard drive, a Seagate ST-225, megabytes and megabytes to keep all my files on … all the time! Thus I began my decades of data hoarding.
I would digitize the Audio Tape before doing anything with the tape so the Data is saved. These Tapes are so old, you will be glad If you get Something Out of them anyway….Recorders and stuff are Not very reliable anyways.
I coulda told you that was c64 by the sound.
Wow that train is awesome. Trains in the US are junk.
Good job !!
That was quite a mission Tommy, but you got there in the end…keep up the great videos mate.
