Cataloguing a tape on the speccy
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2016 1:21 pm
Hi all
Is there a program out there that reads all the blocks on a cassette to give me some confidence that a tape is working ok?
I have a copy of Bards Tale and some of the dungeons later on in the game are loaded on demand. I don't particularly want to play through and find they don't load and it will be quite a while before my party can get there!
On my Beeb I can just type *CAT and it plays though the cassette telling you what files are present and reporting errors if the tape is dodgy.
Could I just type LOAD "" and see if the files load one after another even though they won't do anything after loading?
Thanks
Lardo
