1530USB Datasette to PC Adapter / Re: Recording difficulties

In that case it is version 1.

Are you using a USB hub or extension cord any chance?It has to be connected directly to a USB 2 port.

Record this program to tape and back it up.See if it runs on emulator.

Inverting the waveform just made it so nothing is detected at all. It's got to be something else.

I'll give it a shot. The slip of paper included pointed to the instructions that said not to tick the inverted waveform box.

It can't get any worse than not working I guess :)

I guess you have the version 2.

Give it another try with these instructions

Don't use your PC while recording.Even browsing the web might cause interference.

1530USB Datasette to PC Adapter / Recording difficulties [SOLVED]
« Last post by scyllinice on November 06, 2022, 03:48:12 AM »
Hello,

My 1530 USB adapter came in a couple of days ago (thanks!) and I've spent my Saturday trying to get a tape to successfully record.

My datasette is in good shape. It can load tapes recorded on a Eiki tape recorder just fine.

I've tried different volumes (from 75 to 80 as directed). I've even tried 100 and upping the recording frequency to 96000.

What happens is that every time I try to load the tape, I either get a load error, the loading crashes the machine or the loading freezes.

The same TAP file can be recorded using the aforementioned Eiki tape recorder and it loads up just fine.

Any ideas on what else I can try?

It's not that easy I'm afraid.Game has to be disassembled and loading routines changed.
Check out this link for some examples.

I am sorry for digging into an old topic, but I have just noticed I use an old firmware and would like to figure out if it's worth upgrading.

If I run p00 file which represents side A of some two-sided game, will tapecart replace if with p01 automatically when needed? I guess not, right?

There are way too many board designs for the tape decks.It will help if you post a picture of what you have.

Hello! I have a Commodore 1530 Datasette PCB and a Datasette cable that I want to use for a project but I haven't been able to find any pictures of what wires are soldered where on the board so please could someone provide some pictures of the top side of a Datasette PCB?
