Hi guys,
i know this isn’t amiga related but just wondered if you could help me. I just got my Commodre 64 breadbins out of the garage and cant believe they still work. I have well over 200 games on tapes. Is there a way of getting the data onto my PC and vice versa, or to protect them am i going to have to pay the kids to make tape to tape back ups of everything?
Any advice or a poke in the right direction is appreciated.
Cheers
\pz

I have been working on the same thing myself.
I got a 5.25" diskdrive to save my disk games.
But never got any real solution for saving cassette games.
However...
once upon a time...
Some of my friends were working on a project involving an amiga soundsampler and audiomaster IV.
and a program to convert audio files to C64 images...
they still do not remember the name of that program.
and sadly my cassette drive is "out of order" so i cannot copy cassette games to C64 disks...

Yeah... I kinda remember something about converting data tapes to audio WAV files, and then being able to make a T64 datafile out of it. I wonder what ever happened with that...
Actually, it looks like there is a sourceforge link (http://wav-prg.sourceforge.net/). I haven't tried it, but it sounds rather interesting.

Try getting an MMC replay cartridge and then you can freeze and save the games to the SD Card and transfer them to the PC for safe keeping. You can also run the games on the C64 from the SD card or even write them to real 5.25" floppies.
