I wish I had seen this earlier, then I could've tried to get a WAV ...

Use Family BASIC v3.0. Here are .vtp files (usable in VirtuaNES and Nestopia, though Nestopia looks for .tp instead): Here's the VTP I converted from the .wav. I'm not entirely sure it's 100% correct (though obviously it loads without issue), since I cut out the voices and I'm not sure what the "SKIP" messages are for, but with the uncompressed WAV file at least we can try again if needed. FamilyBASIC-Sample3-fromtape.vtp Accordingly, once loaded, I re-saved it from within Family BASIC to get a direct, new VTP file: FamilyBASIC-Sample3-resave.vtp Notably this one's a lot smaller than the original and seems to mostly resemble the second, final segment. I'm not sure what the first ones are for. For anyone who wants to try this disaster for themselves: - Open the original audio in Audacity - (?) Strip out the voices by highlighting them and deleting them - Use Analyze -> Plot Spectrum; I'm not sure where the lowest peak should be but 2035hz seems to be where the VTPs VirtuaNES dumps sit - Effect -> Change Speed, set a multiplier of ~0.975× or so - File -> Export Audio, use "Other Uncompressed Formats", then hit Options and choose "RAW (No header)" and "8-bit PCM, unsigned" - Save as whatever - Open Family BASIC v3.0 in VirtuaNES (or Nestopia?) - Type "LOAD" - Edit -> ExtDevice -> Tape -> Play, choose the file you saved - Wait a while for it to finish and say TAPE STOP. in the emulator and (hopefully) OK in-game - Type LIST to see the code or RUN to play it Hopefully with these instructions you, too, can archive and save any weird-ass BASIC programs you find. I'd like to see if you can play back a VTP by doing the inverse (that is, opening as RAW in Audacity, and playing it back to a real thing) but I still need a Family BASIC keyboard of my own  I should probably get on that.____________________ (Lv 244 with 229454007 EXP) |

If you can plug your computer's sound into the FB keyboard's load port (It's just a typical 3.5mm port, iirc) you'll be fine. As far as I'm aware the data recorder is just a Nintendo-brand cassette deck and not anything special ____________________ (Lv 244 with 229454597 EXP) |

Unless I misunderstand, don't you have the hardware to use this tape in the "official" way - if so ,couldn't you try it out and see if the program produced matches Xkeeper's results? ____________________ TCRF Contributions |

Playing back the WAV over to my Family BASIC Keyboard (using a stereo cable since that's all I had on hand, but it worked fine), I can reproduce Xk's results:

For what it's worth, the correct sequence appears to be:
LOADS:LOAD That will load the background as well: 
This will probably only work on V3, though. Not sure if v2 or v2.1 had the LOADS command. ____________________ (Lv 244 with 229481635 EXP) |

Is that Comic Sans I see as xkeeper's window title font?  |
