Fast LOADing

Post by stefano »

The Dell laptop I'm using recently does not seem to be able to send valid audio stream with FASMW-ZX, while the previous HP had no problems at all !
I use a stereo-to-mono cable I built myself with some passive component to decouple the signals a little.

This is the result of my tests:

FASMW-ZX is not able to transfer MAZOGS, in the more stable condition I had the volume set at 76% but then the ZX181 crashes.

My accelerated loading option on z88dk works with MAZOGS if I set the volume at 82%, but it fails loading ANT-ATTACK

The standard speed wav conversion on z88dk works well.

I wanted to redesign my fastloader long time ago but I have no time to do it.
Does it work with normal speed ?
Do you use a media player or direct connection ?

I always use a standard stereo cable with mono adapter on both (!!) sides.

I tried both the direct playback and the media player.
By the way with a different laptop I had 100% success, so I wouldn't blame your loader.. I'd rather like to add it as a z88dk option !
