I wonder if anyone has done anything similar with C64 games and a custom hookup so you can not have to deal with winding tapes. I imagine it would be easier to just convert tape games to disk, but still.
Unlike the regular audio of the Starpath, I don't think the C64 and Vic20 tapes would not work with a regular tape player or upgraded to a CD disc. They contain coding that would pause the deck as the game progresses. I have the Rabbit cart that would "EPYX Fastload" the C64 cassette tapes but only if the data is first saved as a rabbitized file.
Great informative Starpath video, did not know about the official mail order games from EPYX. I have been on the hunt for Stella Gets a Brain 2.0 CD or even the earlier edition. I have the Supercharger along with Phasor Patrol.
Anyone know of the Stella Gets A Brain CD download link?
One very cool accessory I lucked out getting was the Kios Demonstration Cart. It plugs into the audio port of the Supercharger and the joyport of the 2600. Mine is buried in my Desktop of madness somewhere ..........
