Any tutorial for converting tape multiload to disk ?

Does anyone have a source for a tutorial of that kind ? Freeload for example.

Lots of options. Using a tool like Freeload Transfer V2 can work. Fungus just posted a bunch of rippers for tape loaders along with sources. There's also some tape cracking tutorials on the Fairlight Youtube which explain a lot of the concepts really well.

I'd check out Fungus' stuff personally, his work is as good as it gets. His sources are there as well, so you can always learn from those.

Wow lot of rippers. I saw some videos including Fairlight’s . I was looking for some step by step example on modyfing the loading routines. I’ll look into those tools. Thanks.

:) No pun intended - for the easy rips (not looking around anywhere here!) you may always use https://rr.pokefinder.org/wiki/Parameters_List or https://rr.pokefinder.org/wiki/Extensions_for_Action/CyberpunX_.. :)

SLC wrote some tools others (not looking around anywhere here!) are shamelessly using to rip files as well :)

Yes I know about the params. I want to learn how to do it without a freezer.

Kinda starts with knowledge of machine code on the 6502/6510, and knowledge of how the c64 operating system works. Learning to read code and understand it is paramount.

https://commodore.bombjack.org/commodore/index.htm

Mapping the C64, Programmers Reference Guide, Inside Commodore DOS (for disk) are all essential reads. Toolkit Kernal and Toolkit basic are useful for learning what the rom routines are and what they do. If you don't already know machine language I recommended Jim Butterfield's Machine Language on the Commodore 64, 128 and other Commodore Computers Revised and Expanded Edition. There's lots of online resources as well like AAY64, AAY1541, Codebase64 and many others.

IMHO Das Anti-Cracker Buch (in german) has all the information needed.

I'll check this one. I translated the entire book with AI to English.

I cover the whole process of converting Gauntlet from tape to disk in this video: https://youtu.be/1MXB6b6mm7c
Starting from the hardware, understanding the loader code, extracting files, and then altering the code to load from disk and creating a disk.
