|  YAPE vs MTAP
You have to check in the "Record wholewave TAP files" checkbox in the Create TAP dialog window to get MTAP files supported by MTAP. Note, the original format was specified by Markus, but he has not yet implemented it in his TAPSAVE routine. You can only record these so-called half-wave TAPs. YAPE by default uses this format.
Since MTAP is originally written for the C64 TAP files, you can only record tape files with it at this moment that are using waveforms compatible with the C64 (that is symmetric waveforms). This affects only a couple of turbo loaders, but NOVALOAD is safe to use as its waveform is compatible.
Note that there's still a bug in YAPE that may prevent you from recording proper wholewave tapes.
Anyway it would be easy to write a MTAP->WAV converter.... Then you could easily record the WAV file to normal tape without any cable, but it would need some testing. If there's a need for that I might try writing one.
