MESS and Cassettes
#359585 - 10/10/16 09:41 PM


There's an old Tandy CoCo game my wife wants to see if I can get an emulator for (i.e. Erland). It was a cassette-based game, and I don't understand how an emulator could run such a game. I see in the menus where you can select a cassette, but are they stored as .wav files or something else?

I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.

MAME supports WAV files for any system that uses cassettes. Other formats are supported in some cases.

You can mount a WAV file similarly to a disk image, by either adding -cass [filename] on the commandline or by using the File Manager in the TAB menu.
