 | WOOOOOOOOOW!
Awesome find Luca! I can't believe what I'm seeing. One GEM thats been missing for almost 20 years and today we get to see the cover! Thankyou
If it's like Room 10 then it may not have a turbo. If thats the case and they saved the game in the same way you should beable to save the data onto floopy, copy it over to PC and using YAPE make a perfect TAP of the original 
cheers.

| Please don't hit me...
...but I don't even know this game.
According to the screenshots, the graphics seem to be great though.
But one thing I don't understand:
If thats the case and they saved the game in the same way you should beable to save the data onto floopy, copy it over to PC and using YAPE make a perfect TAP of the original
Now that seems unnecessary complicated to me??
Until now I could make TAPs of every cassette, no matter if a turbo was used or not, no matter if the game loaded other parts for other levels, it always worked just using mtap. Even halfwave was never a problem.
So what are you talking about since I'd like to understand the problem?
Best regards

| Voldemort -->
I don't have an X-1531 cable, so I can't do direct from Datasette to PC transfers.
I would have to load the program, save to floppy, copy to PC with my X*1541 cable and Star Commander, then load it into YAPE. Once in YAPE I could make a TAP to share.
It's complicated but it avoids buying a cable for a single use, plus the wait for the cable to arrive.

| *g* Okay, that's a reason.
I don't have an X-1531 cable, so I can't do direct from Datasette to PC transfers.
Aaaah, now I understand.
That's of course a very good reason.
I've recently soldered one myself, wasn't too difficult for me, but I do stuff like that all the time.

| What I'll do
Ok, my pal from Turin (where the game was been located) told me that the tape seems to be 30 minutes long, according to the Lando's thesis; after, he placed the tape in an envelope and sent the stuff!
I don't have an X-1531 cable too (as for James C), thus: I'll follow the Lando's instructions, but only if there are no loading screen (pics or text)! If the loading shows something particular, I'll send the precious tape via mail to a faithful 1531cable owner
Lord Voldemort: as you can find on the net by yourself, that CRL game had a common cassette cover for al its versions, only the text bottom/right was changed (C16/C64/ZX etc). Those so-called "CBM screenshots" came from C64.

| For Lord Voldemort
Room 10 (crack) came before the days of the C16/Plus4 MTAP format
This game was recoreded in the normal way, so really it was just PRG files on cassette. I say no more
Room 10 was a 2 part loader. They thought they were being clever making it so you could'nt soft-reset the plussy once the game was running and copy their code.
Part 1 was really only a lazy AUTO-RUN for the game DOH!

| For Luca.
If it does come to that and you have to send the tape away then only send a copy of the tape!

| Any news?
So what happened to the game? Do you have a PRG or TAP file yet? I'd definitely like to see this rare game.

| News about it...
The tape is on its way, I'll receive tomorrow.
At the moment, I'm searching for a 1530 or 1531.
BTW, my dad had some health problems during the last days, hence I have other priorities.
I'll keep the community informed about.
