Have you written games and wanted to add the classic loading appearance to you game on tape?
Well this is the perfect tool for those of you who wish to make tape masters of your own games and load your games on tape with an auto boot turbo loader with music and loading picture. This utility comes with full documentation and some example files for you to play around with. (Sharkz II). The best part of this tool is the choice of the border stripes which you could choose from. From the classic Cyberload colours to a multicolor stripey border. The tape master utility itself has a wide range of options. Auto boot turbo loader/saver source was written by Martin Piper.
TAPE MASTER PRO 2
This is the new Tape Master Pro. This tape mastering utility uses a more intelligent IRQ loader system, which Martin Piper programmed. The loader system will indicate a load error, by showing a red border (with nothing else going on). This tape mastering utility allows you to write a loader scroll text, edit the colour of the scroll text. You can choose one of many of the loading stripes scheme (Boot loader will always use the multicolour. I got that boot idea based on Visi-Load :o). New in TMP 2 is a selection of tape loading speeds and the rest of the mastering is up to you. TMP 2 also comes with some example masters for some games from the TND web site. Enjoy reliving the tape loading saga (And hopefully you won’t be throwing your datasette at the wall if you get a load error :o))
TAPE MASTER PRO 2.1
An improved version of Tape Master Pro, related to Tape Master Pro 2. General improvements are:
- Text editor – Speed of scroll can be chosen, to suit the loading program
- Loading stripes scheme – Scheme will also work on the boot loader system before the IRQ turbo tape system
- Boot loader – Plain black screen, with correct sized boot loader. V2.0 had experienced bugs in the boot loader
- Extra option – You can now enter the tape master after saving your program (If you choose to).
