|  TAP Versions of Games
Many games that I want to download and run on real machine are in PRG format. Who can help me with converting to TAP format with good loading screens and turbo loaders?

I do understand. He wants to transfer programs (in PRG format) to tape. You can use MegaCopy from TLC in Yape for example, to create a WAV that you can then record to a tape through the sound card with a jack-cable. Or you could use this tool: WAV-PRG but it has no turbo. Anyone care to write a turbo plugin ?

I guess he means the ones that are not buggy on his computer? Anyway, in this case one can use Novaload as it exists as a separate turbo, and it loads with the screen enabled, although it is a bit slower than TLC's.

I think i know.
Sasha the best Way is you copy the .PRG with Starcommander to an 5 1/4" Disk, load them in a real 264er and save them on Tape. I think you can use the kingsoft Turbotape at this work ? so you have blue and yellow strings when you load the program from Tape

How can I create loading screens such as in KikStart? Are they on text or graphic mode? How can I insert this image in Novaload loader???
And I haven't got disk drive. I can't buy it in Belarus

And I have many games with crunchers which get me color lines. It is bad when I play games from tape because after loading there are many lines on screen. And I can't create 2 or 3 loading blocks when using Nova Turbo.

To make a multiloader with Nova Turbo, the first program must contain the appropriate code to load the next sections. For example, the loading screen in Kikstart is a Basic program which draws the loading screen, then loads the main program.
To make additional loading blocks with Nova Turbo, save to device 6 instead of device 7.

How can I activate autostart in TurboMine loader and is it possible to make multi-loaders with TurboMine?

Sasha, Turbo Mine is a hack of Her Turbo and as I recall there is no simple way to make it autostart or multi-part load. You can however redefine the function keys (KEY 3 and KEY 8) and have them start by simply pressing F3 or saving by pressing HELP. This does save the turbo as well, since it is saving memory from $055C which contains the colour and screen RAM (where the turbo resides).
