I have a cassette adapter which is an aux-cassette adatper. Basically a cassette with a cable and a 3.5mm plug. The idea is you insert the cassette, then plug it into a CD-player/mp3 player to play it over a cassette player.

I was thinking of using that to load games from the PC. The idea was to convert the .TAP to a wav, then play the wave file through the converter which is plugged into the datasette, and load it on a Commodore 64.

It seems it could work, but I'm having trouble. I've tested with actual tapes and they work (reasonably well, some are old and unreliable), but getting very little with the adapter. At best it finds a program with a junk name, then either aborts loading, or just loads with no result.

If anyone had any tips, it would be appreciated. I'm not sure on what volume to use, or whether it is necessary to perform some type of alignment of the tape heads.

Cheers,
Dennis Katsonis
