Hi,

PLEASE! PLEASE!
I understand that you don't want tape files in TAP format -
hey, they are only a few dozen kilobytes! -, but please take it into consideration, that many people DO (including me...). Keeping the original tape format _and_ of course the PRG version is the way to go IMO...

>From what I can tell, thanks to the original TAP format, a few games have already been made available that have never been before, in a good quality crack (like Zodiac or Robin to the rescue).

On to the subject of the question: of course a cable can't make PRG files from tapes - you must also know the underlying turbo to be able to do that - but if you dump your tapes with the cable (note: for that purpose you'll need the MTAP program from the same URL), I'm gladly at your disposal for making PRG versions out of them (making cracks with emulators is way easy!). Just send me the TAP files :-) BTW, what games you own? I am really curious!

Regards,
Attila
