Bytes and cassettes
ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.soft»
Hello Specter
Who needs cassette images (available in TZX, TAP, MP3, WAV formats :)) please contact
me.
Hello Surfin' Bird
Surfin' Bird
already passed through the forum. 2 wavs (sort of) with the goblin format.
PS formats that made it possible to stop the tape while loading,
rewind a little back and continue downloading there were several (and not only on
Spectrum).
the most advanced of them for Vector-06Ts
Hello BYTEMAN
I also have a cericope - a couple of pieces... This is bullshit..
But who still has the legendary FORMAT FORMAT?
And does anyone know HOW IT WORKS?!?!?????

Why do I need Vector? I am a spektrumist :v2_finge: :v2_biggr:
Is it difficult to explain to a lamer the PRINCIPLE of operation of these miracle formats?
:v2_blush:
Hello Surfin' Bird
in short, the entire downloaded file (we'll call it that ;) ) is divided into blocks
of a certain length (let's say 256 bytes). before each block there is a very
a small pilot tone so you can understand the beginning of the block.
then some sequence follows (to accurately identify the block) and
block loading address.
that's the whole secret.
By the way, the authors of the devil actively used mixing addresses with data
(this is why in some versions of "goblin" the picture was loaded using
all sorts of squares).
Hello Surfin' Bird
because loading there is 1.5 - 2 times faster ;)
(by the way, turbo loaders seemed to be not uncommon)
Hello Sinus
Wow! :v2_clapp: Respect to the devils!
Another llama. question: In theory, then the game should be bigger. Those. file
should borrow more. Why then do Leshy load one and a half times faster?
