Firstly, this is NOT an official CreatiVEmu release.
This is a homebrew product designed and produced by an Austrian
CreatiVision fan Thomas
Gutmeier.
THE STORY SO FAR...
If you have a CreatiVision unit and the BASIC interpreter
cartridge, you will need a specific cassette tape deck to load and save
programs. Unfortunately, finding an original (and fully working) CreatiVision
cassette tape deck can prove very hard and expensive .
Moved by the desire to use file "dumps" of CreatiVision tapes
(the ones available for download in "WAV" format at the
Releases/Software page),
talented Thomas Gutmeier made studied a way to connect his PC audio card to
the console, and succeed almost immediately!
He published the whole story on the
Forum
and he got feedback, suggestions and requests by the community of CreatiVision
enthusiasts.
The interface then evolved significantly to the point of now
letting users load and save from/to original cassette tapes via
inexpensive and common Commodore 1530/C2N Datassette units that were
originally made for use with VIC-20, C64 and C128.
Lastly Thomas designed a professional packaging with casing, sticker and
manual, and numbered each copy individually.
Even though this is not a CreatiVEmu team product, we are truly
happy to "sponsor" this great product! because we feel it's a very useful
tool for CreatiVision users and collectors, and encourages more people
to invent and develop more homebrew tools!
