tapDancer Virtual Datasette

Had to fiddle with settings and volume, once I figured that out was successfully loading C64 tape images with ease. Very handy to be able to do it from your phone as opposed to laptop/PC. Can't seem to get the auto pause feature to work well for me, it seems to pause when I don't want it to. Also the manual pause button doesn't resume playback correctly, it starts playing from the beginning once unpaused instead of resuming where you paused from. Best to sit there and hit space immediately.

It worked great for me. You may need to spend some time adjusting volume settings on your Android device to make this work properly.But that is no fault of tapDancer itself. Also, make sure to read the instructions about pausing playback and about pressing space on the C64 when the tape program is first found. Thanks for creating this great program. :)

Great app. Worked great on C64, Speccy etc. Sadly can't get any .uef files for Acorn Electron to work though. TapDancer freezes after selecting the .uef and the convert progress bar stays stuck on 0%. If fixed TapDancer would get full marks

Works pretty well once you figured out how to properly use it. For C64, it sometimes stops after the game has loaded, and you have to press PLAY once more for the game to begin.. Like it's waiting for some last bit of data. Apart from that, the scrolling display is kinda annoying. There's no reason it should be scrolling, and not just static. As it takes a second or two for the scrolling text to appear, you're left wondering if it's actually playing or not. That's a bit silly. The overall functionality is great though!

It does the trick, but for me at least it keeps pausing randomly (i have auto pause off), and often it won't resume after a manual or automatic pause.

Biggest heap of carp on android won't load one single game

nu alleen de bestanden D64 leest het niet zou wel super zijn als dit programma D64 ook kan lezen

I couldn't thank you enough ,

works really well, please add support for zx81 .p files!

Sometimes works when it wants to, most of the time not. Playing wav files is far more successful.

Please support the Oric-1

Thank you,

Works perfectly!!!! Thanks so much for creating this app!

Funziona stupendamente bene, il mio Commodore 64 legge tutto alla perfezione e in modo più chiaro rispetto alle cassette originali che spesso glitchavano. Però, un'utilità di conversione Tap<->Prg sarebbe una cosa utilissima per chi, come me, smanetta molto tra formati. Ottimo lavoro comunque.

Obviously some thought has been put into this. I can't believe how well it works :-)

I had to rollback to a previous version as update caused app to close upon selecting any file on my galaxy a3 yet worked fine on older android device. Works great with c64 files but have troubles trying to load spectrum. Only limited success loading spectrum.

Some games have loading error on the Atari 800XL,it seems that its the 15 minute loading time ones..werid. Thanks for a great app. EDIT: It works great on my C64C but can't load Prg files,I can load them by converting them to wav using PRG-WAV. The other problem with TapDancer is that it uses alot of space on your SDcard,maybe add a option to be able to move the TapDancer folder to a different sdcard to free up space.

But doesn't work anymore on my tab after rooting it when I select SD card. It (the custom rom/root) seems to have changed the name/how it accesses the SD card.

Worked well with an S2 but not anymore with S4. Anyway it is a great app.

I used the app to load games onto my original Amstrad CPC6128. It works really well with cdt files.

Well, this app was 110% absolutely great, but it seems there maybe a fault. Will there be an update, 5.1... Thx app makers.... I work for the media, might put a good word for you.

Easy to use, easy to install. This app should be making you money. I'd buy it!!!!

A simple solution to play games on my spectrum without the hassle of tape hunting :)

Does not seem to work with uef files it loads the file and says to press play then it comes up with a message saying stopped

Converts files excellently but unfortunately, not loud enough for my Speccy to pick up :(

Haven't tried the .cas support to see if it'll work with my Dragon 32 yet, but it's a great app for loading .tap files on my Speccies with my S4 and Tab 3 - the addition of .p support for the ZX81 would really be the icing on the cake. Unfortunately the app crashes if I try switching the source to my external SD, but it's a minor gripe.

When i pause a tap file and then play it it resets the tap file to the beginning

Used to work great but for some reason can't get anything to load on the c64 anymore

Short term workaround would be to copy files to internal memory but support for addition memory ssd1 directory would be handy. Unable to browse to the root in order to select. If I'm being silly then I'll happily re review.

Something is wrong with output, loading programs seems good, but after loading in most cases C64 freezes. Maybe it loses some bits or something?

Be nice if .p files added for zx81

Really nice app, a huge thanks for taking the time to develop this. The only thing that would be real handy would be an option to forward or rewind the tape so I can playback from a certain point of the tape

For some rason though the app crashes whenever I try to change storage location to SD card . otherwise would give 5 stars.

Works perfect on lg g3!!!

Works great, some stutters here and there, but for the most part, this is an app I would gladly pay for. I do wish I could be able to save files to a .TAP file though. However this is fantastic in itself

This is such a handy app for me and my Electron.. saves wear and tear on my cassettes too! Thank you

Tried many times to record on to tapes Via my laptop with little success!! Within minutes i found the volume level needed and loaded a game!! you will need a Cassette adapter... Now i have a app that is actually useful!!!
