cassete

Hey

GuyveR800, thank you to replay ,i have old msx machine (AX 170,yamaha) and i record this programes by this machine ,how i can record them as WAV file ? in fact i can not able to load them to my PC or i don't now how ,and record them after that as WAV file .

Thanks

I believe every version of Windows, from 3.x to XPSP2 contains the 'sound recorder', which allows you te record wave files (.WAV) from the line input of the soundcard. Futhermore, most soundcards come with software that do the same as well. As I totally skipped the MSX Cassette era and am not particularly interested in catching up on that, I couldn't tell how many bit or kHz the sample should be. 16bit/44kHz sounds like overkill to me, but should certainly get the job done

About MSX and $$$. It's indeed not a flame, yet a discussion. And an interesting, so thanks for bringing the topic up Lets continue the discussion on MSX and $$ in this thread, shall we? :)

Hey

thank you all , i record my programes to my PC in wave format ,another quastion

please ,wich msx emulator should i use that can load files in WAV format? in fact

i use BlueMSX emulator ,and it could not able to open files in WAV format.

Thanks.

blueMSX doesn't have support for tape games in WAV format, only the CAS format is supported. Implementation of this feature is not in our priorities, but it will come in the future, because some tape games can't be converted into the CAS format.

I think that there's confusion with another feature of blueMSX that allows to capture almost all MSX audio (PSG, SCC, PCM, MSX-AUDIO, MSX-MUSIC , MoonSound) under the form of a WAV file. Only MIDI is not yet supported (maybe in next version)

The CAS file format is a binary format, not a audio file.

So the first step is to record the cassette audio to a ditized audio file (good enough is 8 bits 11KHz mono, WAV extension) and then convert this bulky audio to the compact binary CAS file format with a WAV2CAS utility like made by Vincent van Dam at http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~vincentd/
