User Manual (PDF) [384 KB] Download |
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:

TAPMoni has lately evolved to what its name says, a TAP file monitor,
which 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.
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:
