New life for your underloved datassette unit :D
The first phase of testing just ended.
(Still in the packaging and refining phase)
But I wish to share with you all my latest accomplishment.
You might want to check this out:

and this:

The fastest example (11 kilobit/sec) has the same (or better) error rlsilience as "turbo250" but it is 3 times faster.
The slowest one (8 kilobit/sec) has the same error resilience as the standard commodore slow "save", but it is 100 times faster and twice as fast as turbo250.
;)
Notes:
1) faster speeds are possible if the tape is written with a professional equipment or hi-fi with a stabilized speed and virtually no wobbling.
2) if the tape is emulated (tapuino or similar projects) the speed can go up to 34 kilobit/sec.
3) even with datassette, higher speeds are possible but the highly depend on the status of the tape, the datassette speed and azimuth. |

No nickname was better chosen.
You really do COUNT ZERO.
I *released* video proof of my "claims" done by various and different users including two members of this forum.
The code, for now, is mine and mine only.
Even if now it's almost final, I'm still brainstorming and thinking of some new ideas to add to it.
And that's NONE of your business.
Until now I haven't seen anything even comparable to my loader but I am pretty sure many will popup as soon as I release my code.
Sincerely, in a less toxic environment I would have already released it and probably it would have improved with the help of skilled (in this field) people like Krill and a few others.
But instead of enouraging or just enjoy what I posted, very different things happened. And this is the consequence.
What is more important, the program has been checked by people that work professionally in this field. Engineers who produced something in their life (differently from you).
The ultimate2+ is a very good device (and I am happy to own one) but, even if I don't onwn one I can say that for tapes, the best device is CUTE32.
Sincerely I care about the judgement of the best people in thios sector and not by a few toxic people on an otherwise nice forum.
Stadiums would be a nice place without hooligans and people who use sports as an excuse for violence.
As this forum would be a really nice place without frustrated people who take everything as an excuse to leash out.
So, I repeat for the last time:
If you want to follow this thread, you are welcome to do so.
If not, just crawl somewhere else.
I am posting here my results or doubts in developing this program, including errors sometimes, yes, so what?
You want to take that as an excuse to "prove" I "claim" things or I tell andecdotes? Be my guest.
It happened the same at the time of Ziphone. 14 millions downloads. A group of losers/haters tried to spread bullshit about it. And I answerted them as I am answering the very few of you that behave in the same way. Because I care? Yes. I care about the others which are probably get annoyed or nervous about this useless debacle.
I will ignore any other message which I will consider off topic or offensive.
And if everyone will agree this is not of any interest then I will stop writing.
I didn't do that to brag or anything, but to share my enthsiasm in finding new ways to enjoy our beloved devices. |

I’d say some excellent and very interesting things have come up from this thread.
It’s not something that most of us can use, so I’ve seen people question the usefulness - but, hell, this is Commodore 64, a 35 year old machine, isn’t everything we’re doing pointless? :-)
Keep up the good work - and don’t worry about the trolls. |

Well, you already did that from the beginning, instead of leading a normal technical discussion.Maybe if you change your manners,you'll get respected instead of getting fucked. |

Yep. Commerically is surely pointless as of today.
But the basis you learn from this are useful even for today technology.
For example a discovery I did on 1541 lead to the possibility to double the scanning resolution on an optical scanner at no cost.
The two things seem unrelated, yet they are not :D |

Nobody did that. They just argued against the facvts and produced another inaccurate loader (based on the same mistakes done in the past). That's all. |

About him, he is surely skilled but did you know that everything he published on the iPhone came from a russian guy?
It wasn't him to do the first jailbreak. He just published what the russian guy told him.
Anyway, after the fact he grew up and started to do things himself.
You remind me of him, you just look less skilled than him, and he was a kid at the time.
Now go fix VICE and try to not mess it up any further.
Oh no wait, you are the one pushing 3 commits just to correct comments... what a fullfilling job. |

Another small note:
Whithout using tricks, like shortening the original commodore PILOT tone ($6a00 $2f or $30 pulses)
Or the "inter-pilot" ($1a00 $2f/$30 pulses).
I found a way to load my loader in jusy 4 counter clicks.
Also this I didn't see it anywhere.
But if any of you did, please do tell.
I don't think there is a faster way to do it. Perhaps by little (I could make my loader a few bytes shorter) but not much.
The funny thing:
My loader now is not recognized by VICE (shows an empty tape) but it is recognized by the (emulated and RH) C64 :D |
