Of course you already know       this, as many C64 games were released on both tape and disk,       including those loading in many parts (e.g. Epyx' Games series).              If the original poster would post again telling which D64 he or       she wants to convert to a tape format, it would be possible to       confirm if it is possible and perhaps if there already is a TAP       file somewhere. For emulation purposes, disk emulation both is       faster and more versatile than tape emulation, so the only reason       I see to "convert" a D64 to TAP is if you want to load the program       on a real Commodore computer that doesn't have a disk drive, or       you lack a method to connect a C= disk drive to your PC.              --       Anders Carlsson              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
