 How to load tapes with-out using the RETURN key!

With any luck you might have a couple of much needed keys that still work.

3 of the F-keys have auto RETURN once pressed. These are F4, F6 and F7.

so if you can type the following

LOAD:

and then press SHIFT and one of the F-keys and it's PRESS PLAY ON TAPE

L,SHIFT+O is also short for LOAD.
Fingers crossed you can do this!!!

I wish I had another spare keyboard to give ya The one I sent Sam a little while back runs perfect. Try and get hold of another plussy, but keep your old one as it might be fine!!

Yes you would convert your games into PRG's with emulation. You would need to make TAP images or smaples of the tapes and load, crack and re-save them with Yape. I've done this a number of times. Way quicker then using the real machine, plus I get a working tap image

What games are you after for emulation ?? I would guess over 95% of the original releases are on the site. Alot of Turbo Loaders are availabe in TAP format (these are the real tapes!!). I've yet to do more Long Loaders, but if you have a request of something which is a long loader, ask as I might have it to make a tap image of.

best of luck, let me know how you get on.
regards,
