The libtap library package provides a useful C API that can speed up the production of software that
writes TAP files and the cross-development of C64 software. It provides full support for TAP v1 only.
This API comes in the form of a static library (.a) for the GNU toolchain (C/C++ programs), both for
Linux and Win-32.
Loaders currently supported:
| libtap library + demo programs
(with source code) Platforms: Win-32, Linux |
Windows [44 KB] Download |
Linux [21 KB] Download |
User Manual [384 KB] Download |
An idea of what users can do by using the libtap library is given below:
This is a project of mine, Tape Maker, that remasters TAP files using prg files.
The libcbmhires library package provides a useful C API that can speed up the production of software
that decodes CBM hires (bitmap, sprites, fonts) and the cross-development of C64 software.
This API comes in the form of a static library (.a) for the GNU toolchain (C/C++ programs), both for
Linux and Win-32.

An idea of what users can do by using the libcbmhires library is given below:
The demo programs' output files were opened with an image viewer (included within the libcbmhires archive).
Note: The image viewer (NOT the library itself!) requires GTK+ 2.0 runtime files. Get the latest available
package from here. Direct
link to version 2.10.11-1.
TAPMoni is a TAP file visualization tool
that converts the apparently senseless bytes in a TAP file into
easily understandable "graphic pulses". It doesn't require any deep
experience about the TAP stuff, thus being a little helping
hand for anyone wanting to (better) understand the data structure beyond raw
TAP file bytes or just check a newly MTap-imported tape while still in MS-DOS
mode.
TAPMoni was born as a C2N head adjustment/diagnostic tool that reads TAP
files to perform an adjustment or to point out a problem.
For alignment purposes, this program should be used just for disaster
recovery. A C64 native head adjustment tool should be preferred,
where available.
Current features are:
 Regular behaviour |

TapWAV is a utility that converts TAP files into audio files (WAV format) that can be directly recorded to tapes with an audio recorder plugged to the soundcard output line or burned to an audio CD for later transfer to tapes by means of a Hi-Fi system. No specific hardware is needed for this conversion.
