[Neil79]

Question : Is it true you can use an MP3 player on an Amstrad CPC to play games? Or am I talking bollox - I have this H2 Handy Recorder

I'm told you're supposed to be able to use an iphone so I would have thought an mp3 "should" work. I guess it's the noise going into the CPC which is important and not the format on which it is held. Volume settings will probably be fairly critical.

Best man to ask I would have thought would be Bryce. I would flit him a pm if I were you

Yeah sorry you wont be able to load disk images this way

Tape files via the cassette socket should be ok though. I can sort you a tape lead for the 6128 if you need one chap.

 

[Neil79]

Keep it aside till I can get hold of a tape player for the 6128

 

[BluesBrothers]

ok chap

 

[Neil79]

How much for the tape lead out of interest?

It doesn't have those stickers on it but more or less yes (sorry just being obnoxious).

Errrrrmmm,..... well, since you've had a few games off me in the past I'll let you have it for just postage, how's that chappy?

It'll be sometime tomorrow as nothings going anywhere till monday and tbh I really can't be digging them out at the minute. Is that alright with you fella.

I know you'll be on about this time tomorrow anyway. I can always tell a fellow insomniac

Cheers for the good words of course. You never know one day I might actually get rid of all my repeats (I seriously doubt it though).

plenty of those on the net.

That's another option

I'll buy the tape cable anyway as it's always worth having

 

[Neil79]

Looks like the tape cable is the best bet to try out this !

Auto renders the CDT/TAP etc files on the fly through an android phone via tape cable plugged in headphones, then pressing play will load the tape. Even has an auto pause!
